Pennies from Heaven

Literally: pennies (old people, explain to the young people. I'll wait...) twenty cents has mysteriously appeared in my bank account. (If anyone from my bank is reading this, nothing has appeared in my anything. I'm making it up.) Seriously Twenty cents. When I found it today, it made me feel SO happy, because it's the best thing that's happened to me in a long time. Then I felt sad, because if getting 20c is the best thing that's happened to me in a long time, the rest of my life must be a big crunchy plate of crap.
I then went grocery shopping. I went to Coles, which is becomming delightfully affordable, even for wonderfully broke people who get excited about 20c. I bought enough food for myself for 3-5 days for under $7, and am no longer the worst vegetarian ever, as I am now the proud owner of three carrots, a pear, a potato two apples and a tomato... plus this thing that is a vegetable but I don't know what it is and it came in a soup pack.

I will be going up to Maryborough next week to visit my mum. I was hoping dad would be there too, but he'll be at work on an oil rig. I'm a little nervous about the trip up, coz I'll be taking more than one train, and I've never done that on my own before. I figure my dad does it all the time, and he once tried to make a call from the TV remote, so it can't be that difficult.
I'm not sure if I should start packing to move to Nana's now, or wait until I get back from Maryborough, so I can pack things in my travel bag as well? I may do half-and-half. Input on this vital decision is welcome from all members of the peanut gallery (old people, explain to the young people. I'll wait...).
I'll let you all know how my trip went once I get to Maryborough, if I can get library time to use the computer. I may have to pretend to be my mother and use her library card.

That's all for now,
