I found $83 in the street.
the actual money i found
This morning I was walking to the Diamond Shamrock to buy a bag of ice. In the bottom-most corner of my peripheral vision, I saw something blowing along the parking lot next to the homeless shelter.
Money. A wad of money. I snatched it, stuffed it in my pocket and kept walking, lest it's owner see me gaffle it. I went and got my ice, and waited till I was safely back in our apartment to take the cash out of my shorts. Megan counted it. $83 bucks. I'm so very pleased. I'm sure it was meant as drug buy money, but it's mine now. That's a pretty good start to a day, no?
