Motivational Monday: Dear Poet 999

Dear Poet 999, 

This year has started out rather slowly and, I think, that's because New Year's Day fell on a Sunday. Almost everything is closed today which means we were unable to pick up any food at any of the Food Banks today. Almost everything, with the exception of some of the drug stores, gas stations, restaurants, grocery stores, and casinos were closed today. 

I am grateful that the CVS Pharmacy was open because I need some personal items. I'm also grateful that my Social Security money hit my checking account on Saturday because I was able to pay the Cable/Internet bill earlier than I thought. Now I don't have to worry about that until about January 18. I got a $2.00 raise in my Social Security this year, which will help a little bit. However, I have my license plate, power bill (it's a lot higher then it was in December), the smog test, and the Internet bill to pay. Needless to say I don't have enough for everything. I haven't even mentioned the co-pays I have coming up. 

I have two co-pays coming up next week. I think I'll get the smog test and then figure out where the money for the tag is coming from. I know there isn't use in worrying because worry doesn't help solve the problem. Part of the problem would be solve with less money going out, but since that isn't possible or, at least, I don't think it's possible, I'm going to have to figure out another way. I need to move to a cheaper place (if I can find one) and I think cut out the cable television and just keep the internet. That means I won't have any television until I purchase the attachment for my present T.V., but sacrifices have to be made.
