Took our van in for an alignment this afternoon. Had planned on stopping by the feed store for a bag of chicken chops and grocery store for some meat. Well, they wouldn't/couldn't do the alignment because the front, driver's side ball-joint needed to be replaced. *sigh* What ELSE could go wrong?! So $113 later, we've got an alignment AND a new ball-joint installed. Needless to say, that money was needed for groceries (meat specifically) that we can no longer afford. Consequently we only have $160 for everything until next month, and it's only week 1 of November. Granted it's the end of week one, but still. Want to call the place (if we can find one) that has commodities and see if they've got anything (like meat) that they give out, or I guess we'll accept whatever they offer. *sigh*
While we were out and a boot we walked over to the library and checked out several books. After 45 minutes there we walked over to an electronics store and got a jack for the computer so that we've now got the choice to listen to 'whatever' through the desktop speakers or headphones, without having to disconnect one to have a place to connect the other. Which isn't a big deal, just inconvenient.
Once the van was done we went to the grocery store and got some CHOCOLATE/Oreo cookies, a bottle of cola, a newspaper and lottery tickets. Next was home and it was time to feed the chickens and refill all the waters (for chickens, cats, and the dog).

No, I did not know that. Hmm... too much for the virtuous citizens, eh? LOL. Thanks for the link - interesting :-)
