Found a Nickel

June 5th, 2014 at 03:43 pm

It was a shiny one, too! I always love to pick up the freshly-dropped coins, rather than the ones that have turned green and been run over numerous times. Though I pick those up, too!

I am coming very close to the $40 mark now. I've done it the hard way. Only $18 has been in bills. The rest is in coins, mostly pennies.

I had another no-spend day, second in a row.

No ticket on my car! I was parked correctly -- but I did have to backtrack to go get it, having forgotten where I parked. Now I don't have to worry about street-sweeping again for another month.

Tomorrow I don't have to work -- I'm going to be on a panel at a workshop. I hope my brain is working better tomorrow. I just filled out a questionnaire and struggled with finding the right words. And writing is usually much easier for me than speaking!

This is the event I ordered the books for -- which were stolen. A second order of 10 has come in, but the original order of 20 -- which I reordered after the theft -- has not yet arrived. There is still a possibility it will come today, and since the workshop is in my town, I can also check for them at noon tomorrow. I did get set up for text messages on tracking updates. I really wish they would come in, because if they come after the event, our organization is going to have to pay to send them to the attendees. Even though it's no personal cost to me, as the Treasurer I hate to see that happen.

    You're doing well on dropped money! I think I've only found one penny in the past month or so. Once I found a $20 and NT found a $10, so our total maybe be about the same, but only because of those two lucky finds. Dropped change is hard to come by here, at least on the streets I normally use.

    yeah, now that our parking meters by the university take credit cards, there's just very little change to be had. I found a five pound note on Brick Lane in London in the spring. As you can tell, I'm still thrilled!

    Good job on finding money!
