wednesday was moving day. while andy and doug loaded up the truck, kathy and i ran around town doing sundry errands. the appliance dealer wanted cash, so while i was at the bank picking up money orders for the rent and security deposit, i also withdrew the exact amount we owed for the washing machine and drier. then we went over to little caeser's to pick up a pizza.
now, little caesar's is also a cash only sort of establishment, and i had in my wallet the exact amount we owed the appliance guy.
no problem. surely andy has 6.30 in his wallet. so i dipped into the laundry money to buy a pizza.
unfortunately, andy did not have 6.30 in his wallet.
and we had barely enough time to get to the appliance shop before they closed until the new year. certainly no time to backtrack to the bank.
and so it was that i found myself once again scrounging around the car looking for quarters for the washing mashine.
i thought there was a delightful sort of closure to that experience. but i was nevertheless glad to see a washington mutual a few blocks before we reached the shop.
especially since we were still 37 cents short.

Amen!
This morning Andy emptied his pockets and asked me to put the change in the jar on the counter. I was very excited to see that there was an entire load's worth of quarters in there.
And I was even more excited to realize that I didn't care a bit.
