God is good in so many ways. Today is the first day of doing the concession stand at the track. Money is tight at the moment as we've had to stock the kitchen there with food and pop. Most of our resources have gone into stocking that place so consequently I have very little in the check book and not much in the saving. (there wasn't much to start with in either of these).
Being today is May 1, we were supposed to have gotten Chris' annuity payment automatically deposited into the bank. But, it's not there...and they are not open to call today. We don't know if there is a problem since the bankruptcy settlement...the payment was not suppose to stop, just be reduced by half. Either, it's not there...and Chris doesn't get his paycheck until Monday...and we need change for the cash register for the track. What to do. There is 100.00 in the savings...pull it all out. But, we need more change then that. I was stressing and beginning to fall back into my "woe is me" ways this morning. Chris sent a text to Karen, who called. Talking to someone really, really helps. All my life I have kept any worries, stresses, anxieties bottle up inside of me. I'm surprised it hasn't killed me by now!
I'm so grateful for good friends who are there to listen. I also hope I will always be there to listen when any of my friends need an shoulder to lean on.
