alms for the poor

things finally decided to pan out over the last few days.

you see, we were supposed to be getting a wire transfer (we were told) by the 25th of x% of my october pay... and then we’ll receive the remaining sum with november’s pay. well... that money had not been put in our account by the 25th. nor was it there the 26th... nor the 27th. this caused a bit of worry on our part, because we had rent coming up soon, and not enough money back in the states to be able to pay it off. there was quite a bit of worry, actually.

yeah... not happy.

thankfully, as we happed into the bank wednesday, early afternoon... the money had been put in that morning. we promptly pulled out enough for rent, and proceeded to do our laundry and shopping for the week -- several days late.

you don’t really know how nice it is to have money available for your spending whims until you don’t even have enough for the necessities. rather refreshing, really. i suggest you all try it a time or two.
