what happened a couple of days ago

So, I'm not the kind of person who believes in this stuff. Seriously. I'm just going to lay out the facts as they happened.

I got into my mom's jewelry box because I'm totally broke and need to sell just a few more things. I hated to do it but I'm kind of out of options.

I take out her charm bracelet, which is so heavy there's no room for any more charms on it. The charms are from all the places she went to from the mid 80's till the 2000's. They're sterling silver. Okay, I decide to bite the bullet and list it on Ebay.

I'm halfway through listing all the charms that are on it when the computer freezes. I mean locks down. I mean I have to hard boot it with the button and the middle finger. That's how hard that went down. And this computer is only over a year old; it does not freeze. Firefox can freeze sometimes, der... but not the actual computer.

So while I'm rebooting it I say out loud, "okay Mom, I get it, but you better show me where the money's going to come from."

Anyway.

Two hours later, literally, I get my NV Energy bill. I have not paid the electricity bill for two months. I don't know where this month's payment is going to come from, let alone the amount owed.

I look at the bill, and I have a $28 credit.

That's right, not only is the past due amount gone, I have next month's payment taken care of too.

Apparently that was the deposit I paid when I moved in here, totally forgot about it.

But still. Two hours later and I had one bill totally taken care of and then some.

That charm bracelet is going into a shadow box and I'm putting it on my living room wall.

A deal's a deal.

true story, mom
