and what?

I need to go grocery shopping.  There's like half a glass of milk, a few Powerades, three hot dogs, three sticks of butter (yes, real butter...margarine is disgusting), strawberry jelly, two Miller Lites, some chocolate syrup, eggs, and pickled okra in the fridge...and condiments.  Except for mustard.  I'm out of mustard.  That's unacceptable.  I thawed a couple of packs of bratwurst yesterday, so tonight was sauteed bratwurst, mac n' cheese (there is food in the pantry), and corn and hominy (again, food in the pantry).  The pantry is almost as pitiful...I need to go to the grocery store.  Tomorrow.

Dinner was great, though.  When I'm broke and making shit stretch, these kinds of nights make me smile and laugh.  I feel kind of resourceful.  Using what I have, coupons, and sales much like Neanderthal women hunted alongside the Neanderthal men, and collected berries, vegetables, and fruits to feed their families and friends.  I know, it's different - my food came from Winn-Dixie, but still.  I feel very "AND WHAT?"

Felt good today...and it feels good to feel good.  Not perfect, not great, not incredible, but good.  Small steps make us appreciate the journey more, and help us remember to watch our step.  I think.  Either way, small steps work for me.  I got a lot done job searching, and made a great dinner with limited hunting, berries, vegetables, and fruits.  

AND WHAT?
