Things I Miss Since I Went From Riches to Rags

I miss grocery shopping without worrying if I can afford one onion or two. I miss grabbing a bag of 'em and being good for a while.

I miss telling the doctor's office that my son and/or I have health insurance.

I miss buying a bottle of wine on my way home from a bad day at work.

I miss being able to escape to Chicago for a weekend for a childhood friend's wedding.

I miss paying my mortgage AND my car payment with one paycheck.

I miss seeing my gas tank on full.

I miss eating out because I just didn't feel like cooking.

I miss blowing my son's mind at Christmas.

I miss my old life.
