I went to the dollar store and bought nail clippers, a hair and tooth brush then went out to groom. My hands,ragged and chapped, improved with cleaning and filing my nails. I brushed my hair and pulled it into a pony tail.
I walked down to the goodwill and found a pair of cheap black shoes for work tomorrow. I bucked up and decided that a new black shirt was also in order.
Next on the list was the purchase of shampoo, conditioner, tooth powder. While at the market I realized just how hungry I'd become. I grabbed some fruit but then logic reminded me that protein is survival and I ordered a sandwich. Sitting outside I ate half, wrapped the remainder for later before going back in to use the washroom.
I cleaned my teeth.
When I've had sudden change offered into my life, what more can one do than care for immediate concerns. Cleanliness, nutrition, sunshine are all forms of salvation.
In need of a shower but little else, I wait out the remainder of the afternoon in a book.
Hopefully tomorrow brings me closer to a home.
