What did I find this week?

A Nice July

If last week was "naked guy" week, this week was "seemingly well put together guy sleeping outside" week. Two separate times I saw young men in nice clothes and nice shoes sleeping outside. One guy was on a bench in a bank entry way and another was on a front step. When I saw the guy on the front step, I also heard music playing, which I assume was his cell phone - either a call coming in or his alarm going off. Not that it mattered, he was passed out and couldn't hear it. I'd love to hear these guys' stories the next day.

I had another good week - or at least a good day. This morning I found $8.74, including a $5.00 bill and two $1.00 bills. They were in three different spots again, which is now only the second time in my life that's happened. My weekly total was $9.84, so you can see that it really was just one big day.

Being July 31, I did have the fun time of counting up all my money for the month this evening. Drum roll... $60.35! I am pretty excited, didn't think it was that much. That included 385 pennies and more than $10.00 in quarters. Both of those are records. In July 2010, I only found $10.85, so this just adds to me being way ahead of my 2010 totals.

Hopefully this coming week will be good as well - Paul McCartney is playing Wrigley Field tonight and tomorrow so I am looking forward to running this week. I hope I didn't jinx it. Knock on wood and have a great week.
