Day 2

Let me just start off by saying that when there's so much to do, there's no time for food! I was swamped with work at the office all day today. From the momment I got to work this morining at 7:05, everything has been non-stop. Regardless of how busy I am, I always make time to eat breakfast because if I don't there's no way I'll have a good day. Me operating off an empty stomach is nothing pretty! After eating my Captain Crunch cereal, it was off to court I whent at 8:45am. After spending a few hours there, I made it back to the office in time for me to enjoy some of my chicken and rice for lunch. I gulped that down because soon after, I had five hearings in the office (I'm a probation officer so I have plenty non-compliance hearing per month) that afternoon. Needless to say, my yoguraut and grapes are still in my lunch box. I just may break into them in a few because the more I think about food, the hungrier I get!
May be if I stay busy, as I was today, the remainder of the week I wont find this experient so challenging. But I do have to admit, I sure was about to stop at McDonalds for a southern chicken sandwich meal with a sweet tea. After I realized I didn't have any more money to spend for the week, I had to forget about it.... needless to say I was sad :( I really could have used that $6. My body needed a boost after all that running aournd I did today! When you're living on welfare, you are limited in sooo many ways. I'm learning to be thankful for having a few dollars to spare when others don't :)
