Welcome to My Life

I've finished the leftover coffee

I've finished the leftover coffee,
I warmed it up in the microwave
because that's the only way
I can heat leftover coffee.

I've finished the leftover coffee,
I have the chicken defrosting in the sink,
I'm hunger for something besides
eggs and pasta salad.

I've finished the leftover coffee,
I'll warm up the pasta salad,
I'll heat a can of chicken soup,
And the herb tea from last night.

It's the third Wednesday in December, so I have a grief counseling group meeting this afternoon. Since I went to the store this morning, without a grocery list, I'll have to wait until tomorrow or Friday to purchase more soup. I have to make a list because otherwise I won't be able to get everything I need. As it is, I don't think I'll be able to get laundry detergent this week anyway. I have a food card, but I can only buy food with it and I'm completely out of laundry detergent, which means I have to make the choice between laundry detergent and gas for the car. Ordinarily, I would chose the laundry detergent; however, since I have the meeting tonight and have to purchase food either Thursday or Friday I'll have to spend the $20.00 on gas.

I have to check my bank account again today and transfer some money from the savings to the checking. Perhaps I have enough in the savings to purchase the laundry detergent if I'm careful and buy the store brand or can download some coupons to my shopper's card. I know things are looking up, so I shouldn't worry about the laundry detergent. The problem is that I've been using body wash to do laundry and I think I'm almost out of that. Fortunately, I switched from body wash to bar soap when I take my shower so I don't have to worry about purchasing any more body wash for a while. I have some bottles of old shampoo that I don't use anymore maybe I can use that for the laundry until January 3 or 4.
