Nothing like it.

Have you ever put on an article of clothing you haven't worn in a while, put your hand in the pocket and pulled out money. Even a dollar found like this is like nothing else. Funny how a dollar you didn't have a moment before makes one feel rich.

Well The other day I had something like this happen. I was preparing myself for script frenzy in april. Looking through my shoulder bag to make sure I have my idea journals and thumb drive I use to store my files.

But what's this I find?

Why it's an envelope. It's and envelope with my employers name on it. It's and envelope with my emploers name on it and a pay check inside.

I found a pay check with a few days pay from the week of thanksgiving vacation on it in my backpack. Now the bank might honor it or I might have to get it reissued and it's not a huge amount of money. But woohi it's more then I ever pulled out of any pocket before.

And what's more it's money that hasn't been assigned a purpose. You know how you figure so much of one paycheck goes to insurance and this much goes to car payments and all. Well at some point I made all the payments I needed to without this paycheck and therefore this money is like a present.

I have a few ideas as to what to do with it. It could really help me with a few things.

So I'm riding the happy found money feeling while it lasts. I mean life is like a yo-yo, it has it's ups and down so I fully expect that something else is coming but for now I'm up.

Talk to you tomorrow, take care of yourselves,
Roving Jack
