It’s hard to concentrate for any length of time on anything except food.  I don’t know how people with no money for decent meals do anything - study, work, exercise, read, have fun, etc.  It’s all about just making it through the day.  I don’t have to worry about my kids like I did when I was in college and on food stamps and like so many women do now.  I only have four more days to go, and there are millions of people with no end in sight, who are permanently in this survival mode.

I have been thinking about green vegetables all day, and I wanted to get a taco, because it would have lettuce and cheese.  I was in a meeting and by the time I was able to eat my taco, it was cold.  I can’t stand cold food, but let me tell you, even cold it tasted good.
I can’t wait to get back to California.  A friend told me that he knew a place where I can get greens for $.88 a bunch.  If I am lucky I can find a ham hock to cook with them if I budget these last dollars right.
