Sunday night and yesterday I was in some really nasty, all-over body pain, the kind that makes the comparison to getting run over by a truck sound like an understatement. If I'd been able to get online at the time you all would have been treated to a whine/rant about how much I loathe my life and want to die and why am I still breathing here anyway? Later in the day (and I really wish I knew why) the pain eased up a bit. After that, I felt much more hopeful again. So it's official: Pain is depressing.

Some of you may remember that when I first got food stamps, I was told to try to spend them down because if I didn't, I ran the risk of having my benefits reduced. Well, since I had hundreds and hundreds of dollars' worth of food stamps credited to me retroactively, I didn't spend them down and I did have benefits reduced even before I could spend them. So anyway, after all this time, finally I have the chance to spend my monthly food stamp allotment before the end of the month. I'm hoping that if I do that for a few months in a row, I can get my benefits increased again--not that they'll ever be a huge amount, but even 50 cents more per day would be awfully nice. My plan for this afternoon: Stocking up on brownie mix and instant mashed potatoes.

Och, poor wee one. Better still?

Spending spree! Into the aisles for stuff.
(Assuming you can get a ride back with all the goodies)

Well, I found out that a new medication for pain didn't kill me right away, so that's good news.

And it's not a whole big spending spree that I'm planning on here--mostly I'm just planning to stock up on stuff that's on sale this week. Tuna for 33 cents a can! I'm so there.
