What did I find this week?

Dry and Nice

As we approach the beginning of Spring (yay!), the weather has been a little nicer. I have to say I enjoy that very much. As much as I loved running this winter in single degree and teen weather, it's super great that I could break out my thinner running pants this week. Plus, this was the first week in a long while where I wasn't running through rain puddles or melted snow. It was nice to be able to wear my shoes into the house and not take them off in the hall when I return from my run. It's supposed to be pretty nice at the beginning of this week, but then back in the 30's at the end. Still, I'm not complaining...too much.

This week, we saw the actual St. Patrick's Day holiday, so I was stoked to get out on Friday morning to see what I could find. I was slightly disappointed in my money finding, only $.58. There sure was some trash out there though. I think I saw about a dozen broken green plastic hats. I saw plenty of those the weekend prior as well. I also saw several shirts and jackets on the street. I usually see some article of clothing about once a week, but there had to be 5 or 6 shirts out there on Friday. It was warmer than usual Thursday night, so I guess some people decided to strip down on the road and then leave it behind.

I had a pretty good money total this week of $3.21, including $1.34 this morning. I also found a King of Hearts playing card which I actually didn't already have. That's very exciting and two weeks in a row of finding a card. This month is shaping up to be pretty lucrative. I have so much change that the little bowl I keep it all in is almost full and there is still 11 days left. Of course, I'm sure I just jinxed the rest of the month for myself. Knock on wood for me.

Have a great week everyone!

  1. You probably would have found more if you had gone through the pockets of those jackets you saw. Good luck for the rest of the month.
