I've had hard times like that before. I remember a time when all I had to my name was $1.10. I literally had nothing in the house to eat. I went to the store and bought a box of Little Debbie Oatmeal Cream Pies-12 pies per box for $.99. Ate the whole darn box.
I remember thinking at the time, things could be worse. I could have gone hungry that night, but I didn't. Things eventually turned around for me. They will for you, too.
Here's a hug for you, Dee.
