This past month things got really tight for me. I’m in the service industry. That of course is the politically correct way to say that I am a waitress. And while I really do like doing what I do, it is not one of the best paying career choices. But hey, at least I have a job. And that is a lot more than many people can say these days.

Last month I was playing in a recreational league softball tournament. And as I slid into third I twisted my ankle up something fierce. I had to be helped off the field. When I woke up the next morning I knew that I was going to need to take some time off of work. My boss was cool about it and got all of my shifts covered. But I’m in the kind of business where if you don’t work, you don’t get paid.

Well my landlord doesn’t care if I have a sprained ankle and can’t work. I still have to pay rent. And that’s when I saw an ad on TV saying I could sell gold for cash. What a brilliant idea! I have a jewelry box full of stuff that I never wear! Of course with the sprained ankle I wasn’t going anywhere. So I got on the computer and found an online pawn shop where I could hock off some jewelry. It worked out great and I was able to pay my rent on time.
