Wow! I was just looking for postcards in my drawer of postal things, and there was a birthday card, in its envelope, from my great-aunt Betty, and in the card was a five dollar bill. Good thing I don't throw these things out. It was opened previously -- my birthday is 21 Dec, I just didn't take out the money.

Let's see, that brings my cash holdings up to... Eleven big fat dollars! Heh heh, I am rich now, mon! And I should get a $60 check next week, for babysitting next door.

And then there's my mysterious job at the cannery. They haven't sent me any money, but then I haven't ever been to cannery.

I did call them once, the guy told me I need to go there, with a parent, get a parental release form filled out and stuff. I guess they start procesing 25 June or so.
