The One Thing I Don't Have to Buy

Happy Tuesday! After working the first shift of my new retail job, I went to bed last night with throbbing feet and woke up this morning with an achy back.  I'm no spring chicken anymore!  Good thing I like the job.

Anyways, I planned on taking my winter coat to the dry cleaner today, since blustery weather will soon be upon us.  I searched in the basement and the hall closet and our bedroom closet and can't find it.  It's maddening not to know where any of your stuff is, to be living out of boxes, like being on an extended stay somewhere away from home.

I was texting with Bruce about my frustration and wrote, "I wish we had a house already!"

So I bring you today's tune.  This song, "If I Had a $1000000" by the Barenaked Ladies, is from the 1990's, a time when Bruce and I were young with our whole adult lives in front of us. When we worked random jobs just so we could buy concert tickets and bottomless cups of coffee (and later, beer).

Before I had the chance to have a million dollars and I blew it.  But I'm not ready to talk about that yet!

As I was playing this video for Emmie, she bopped up and down to the music.  We don't have a million dollars and we don't have a house, but none of that matters to her.  Seeing my daughter smile and dance reminds me that I'm already rich.  Luckily, I don't need to buy any love - I have plenty.
