Recap (Day 23)

Bought a crank-up flashlight last night. No batteries needed, it will save me money.

I then went home, read some more of the book before i went to sleep.

I woke up at 7AM, and decided it would be my last day selling papers. The amount of money i was making was miserable, not even minimum wage.

I went to BK for breakfast, then to the corner from 8-10AM, made a couple of bucks. I then dropped off the papers at the usual spot and sent word to Paul not to leave me any papers.

Returned to the corner and signed a bit. Made more doing that for 30 mins than in 2 hrs selling papers. I'm sure i made the right decision.

Rode to the turnpike and signed from 11AM to 5PM.

I made decent money. Went to BK and spent $2.13 for food and stayed there until 9PM reading a book.

My back has been hurting for a few days, probably from me sleeping in the tent. Even with a sleeping bag my back was still in bad shape before i became homeless.

I've been working through the pain, my thought is "nothing worth having comes easy, anyways, if i feel the pain, it means i'm alive".

I read more of the book at home, the new flashlight works pretty good. I crank it for a min and it works for half an hour.

Went to sleep at 11PM.
