I completely forgot that I had automatically programmed my savings account to pull money out last Friday. Whoops! Good thing I had a little cushion! I'm happy about it, though...that means I have more money in savings than I would have had. I'm a little paranoid about not having enough money to get through October (that's why I wasn't going to put money in savings), but I think it's unfounded. I have vacation reiumbursement coming with my last paycheck, and though it's not a lot, it will help. Especially since I am going clothes shopping with a friend tomorrow night. I desperately need new work clothes before next week.
So many people aren't feeling well around here! What a bummer! Funny, considering we have no actual contact with each other. Maybe our journals are contagious?

Having spent many years trying to make sure I looked presentable even though I couldn't afford it, maybe just try to add one of your cool bracelets to an ensamble, or change the buttons on an oldie but goodie jacket. Wear scarves. Work with your jewelry to create the new outfits you desire instead of spending $$ on things that cannot replace financial independence. I'm preaching. Sorry. You just sound like such a talented person - I don't think those folks in the Cities will even take a second look at your messenger bag other than to think it's cool.
Best of luck!
