We're going to make it.

One of us if finally gonna have somewhat steady/reliable income coming in. Things have been tough. Things have been rough. But, I know we're going to make it.

Right now, I just want to focus on the positive. My husband got a job.
Small victories. We finally made copies of the keys for our new locks.

What am I thankful for today?
I have food in the fridge. I can cook healthy meals tomorrow and for the rest of the week. I have detergent to wash a few of Thomas's shirts in the tub tomorrow. I am able bodied to do the chores that must be done.

Next week I vowed that I'd finally get my ID.

I hate the fact that I put a lot of these things off. In a way, it's kind of pathetic that I justify saving the $20-25 dollars it takes to commute there and purchase an ID, because there are better more useful ways to apply that 25 dollars.

It's why I never go anywhere (on the train), to be frank. It's expensive to leave the neighborhood. Living is expensive. Surviving is too.

I can't really afford to commute to school either, it's about $3 per bus trip, but I can walk to/from town in an hour or so and if I'm willing to arrive at school before it even opens then I can get a ride there from my wife's parents. But when I was doing that kind of thing I started skipping school a lot and was feeling bad about how it cost money every day. Now I take online classes but THAT means that I only leave the house to walk to the grocery store, so I don't even go into town once a month anymore....
