Quit work at 3pm, watching soccer and playing with toys. Wishing I were running more often already! Mad at myself for skipping it this morning, but I did have mucho fun with B last night. And I did go on a walk instead. I can either run or walk tomorrow morning before I go pick him up for our day in Silver Spring, ditto Sunday, ditto Monday,

Hah! In this point it's noticable it's only a game of yours.
Because living in a certain level of poverty permanently means: There is no break; if paychecks are missing, paychecks are missing. Go see how you get through the month with no income - ot get a new source of money. - That's what it is like. That's how it's realistic.

touché - but it has to remain a game, I won't allow myself to die from lack of medicine, food or shelter; but, you make a good point for adding to my charitable giving on schedule despite the macro uncertainty

Well, but that's the difference between actual living in poverty and just performing an artificial experiment from which you can step back whenever the conditions become unfavorable to you.
Lived poverty is "I have this limited amount of money and everyone wants a share of that in exchange for certain cervices or goods they provide, so I've got to see how I get all the most necessary things covered - and this is so every day, every month, all over the year, every year. And if things once don't suit, then I have to cut expenses wherever I can - and if it means starving, stealing food, dumpster diving or being unable to participate in freetime activities that cost money.".
