Quick update: last night I got sucked into internet gambling but quickly learned that both Paypal and Visa will not hand over your money to these businesses which means it is actually a big ordeal to get money to them, so I gave up. Then last night I had this very strange sleep and my dreams had something to do with money, it was really strange.
I have the day off today because my work ran out of things for us to do and volunteers got to leave without pay. I of course opted to do this and spent the morning cleaning a little. I went to the pharmacy to get some sponges for the bathroom and while getting into my car there are these two older ethinic women with three small children. They ask me for a ride to Universal Mall, I smile and tell them sure. Then we get there and the lady is like oh can I have $10 to feed my kids, I pause, then I tell her that I've got a bunch of peanut butter and crackers in my trunk they're welcome to. Problem is they're allergic to peanut butter and if I could just trust her with $10 I can have her address and she will mail it to me. I end up giving her $7, no mention of addresses is made, which makes me glad, then the caravan heads towards the bus stop on Dequindre. They'd spent all day at the welfare office and now they're looking for work. If you're reading this don't think I'm slanting the story towards my opinion, I have no opinion on what happened, it was just a little strange and it felt good to help some strangers.
I couldn't help but wonder if there was perhaps a gang of big tan guys waiting to hit me over the head when I dropped these ladies off... but I'm just paranoid.
Also there is something very noble about cleaning a communal bathroom.
