Ok, so I have twelve slices of bread which makes four sandwiches and as many pieces of toast
smeared with peanut butter that takes care of breakfast and lunch.
The half tank of gas remaining will cover two shifts going thirty-five miles each way which still leaves two more-
mom’s silver charm bracelet will have to be sold to get me to and from work those last couple times. It won’t be worn by the third generation now, but, needs must.
My seven Harry Potter books will buy a box of spaghetti & jar of sauce, plus eight hot dogs and as many buns will see us through ‘til Friday.
