I didn't go to the movies today--long story short--I had to go for an
evaluation for a transportation service--and because my interview was first I
had to wait around until the others were finished before we were all driven
home.
I had about an hour or two and my mind started to drift off. The title of
this post is true--maybe, just maybe, IF I had an emergency the only thing I have of value is the
diamond ring that Joe and Alybin gave
me many years ago. Aside from that I don't think all my furniture and household goods would
get me more than a couple of hundred of dollars if I was lucky. My birds?? Don't
know what I would get for them but even though I think my recent eye allergy is
due to their down feathers I wouldn't give them away.
Now for the record I am not complaining. Sure I
would like to do some things for the holidays, buy some special people gifts,
and I could use a few things, things I want not that I need. Though my only
income is my social security check I manage month after month to pay my rent, phone bill, fill my
stomach, go out to the movies once a week, sometime twice, eat lunch out with Allen every Wednesday and, now and then,
eat out a little more.
I may end up broke by the 30th of the month but I still can buy lotto tickets
and make a few dollars now and then and I did win enough money to go and see "A
Chorus Line" in February. I might not have the money I want to really show
Alfredo and Michael the city I love so much but we will get around.
I don't have a car but if or when I need/want to go somewhere thanks to
Allen, Gino, John, Cookie and others I get there.
I don't know about you folks but I have what I need and friendships so
with or without the $100 to my name I am doing more than okay!
