I went to get my power turned back on this morning and was met with a rude suprise at the gas pump.   My bank card was denied.  I have never been very good with math.  I was pretty sure I had enough in my account before payday tomorrow to make it downtown, park and go to work.  I came home and checked online.  NOPE.
WIth tomorrow being payday, I rearranged everything to go back tomorrow.  My cat started howling at me and I noticed her food bowl was empty.  I had enough to get her food so I drove to the farm store and went to the counter with cat food.  Denied again.  I scratched my head in bewilderment.  I had just checked online.  I knew I had enough.  The lady tried again with the same results.  
     Now, a lady behind me asked how many cats I had.  I told her just one.  She asked what my cat normally eats.  I told her dried food.  What did this complete stranger do?  She bought a big bag of dry food for my cat.  I told her she didn't need to do that, tomorrow was payday and my cat would be fine.  She told me to shut up and insisted.  We went outside and she asked where I lived.   She was somewhat elderly and chain-smoked the whole time.  I was describing my day to her when she asked if I was having troubles facing eviction as well.  I told her I was a little behind, but not to the point of eviction. 
     She took out a piece of paper and wrote her number down.  She told me she was a grandmother with 3 grandkids there and her son in the basement.  She offered me a very large room for a VERY CHEAP price.   I am sitting here debating taking this room and leaving my apartment.  With Broadzilla's antics and until I find out about my job (2nd interview today) I may have no choice but to do this for the sake of me and my children.  I am supposed to call her back after 3pm and look at the room tonight after my interview.    
     I really do not want to leave my place, but how can I get ahead if i am always behind?
