I bought dinner ....because I didn't have the strength to fix it and I had a craving for a Ruben....

I bought black dress socks for $1 because the elastic is SHOT in all my others....

The other day, I decided I needed another pair of black dress pants (because I busted the zipper in my favorite pair....) paid $20.00 (I shoulda paid the $7 for a new zipper!!)

Last Friday, one of our nurses sent out an email-request for clothes and shoes for one of her patients who has nothing and is currently in the hospital.... from the information I gathered, this patient has lost everything....since I was out sick for part of last week, I emailed back to see if she'd had any responses? (We are a large company with MANY caring generous souls who go out of their way for their patients...) I was VERY surprised to learn she'd had no response....

It bugged me all day.... all cold, rainy, dreary day that makes a person thankful for the clothes on their back, warm dry shoes on their feet and their comfy home to return to after getting out of the hospital.

I kicked myself for "purging" most of my old gently-worn clothes before I moved here....

I kicked myself for going shopping for MORE of my own dress pants the other day....instead of just fixing the zipper in the old pair...

I kicked myself because at one time, I could have afforded to provide her a week or more worth of clothes....

But today, all I could afford was one day's full outfit and a pair of shoes I could never wear.

At least she'll have something to come home from the hospital in.... where ever home is and if she even has a home?

Maybe, from now on, every time I have the urge to go shopping for myself.... I will put aside a set dollar amount in a mini-savings for times like today?
