money and underwear

an interesting thing happened this week that has never really happened before.  i began to run out of money at the same time that i began to run out of underwear.

by "run out" i mean that suddenly i realized how strapped i'd be until the next handout came along, as in not soon enough.  ruminating on this unsightly situation, i realized that over the past few days, i'd likewise really found myself digging around for the black hanky pankies.  now, i don't leave my house without a full face of makeup, bikram yoga be damned, or a pair of black thongs, so when things get low, it's really more than enough to get the nerves on.  i don't know exactly what happened, where they were getting lost, in transit or laundromats or overnight bags, or whatever the case might be, but there was a severe deficit, which also just happened to be the case right then with my dollar collection.

so there i was, scrounging for clean underwear and a quarter, when suddenly i realized that tonight i'd finally be able to do my laundry, AND, it's payday.
