Eternal Hope: Day 3
Day 3: The Struggle Is Real
New day today so hopefully I can make more money since I already
spent most of what I earned yesterday. I knew earning the money wouldn't be
easy, but it's a lot more difficult than I imagined. I also did not realize how
expensive stuff is especially stuff that is essential to living like a toilet
and a refrigerator.
I'm starving as I went a whole day without any food and I desperately need
to pee, but there's no where I can go. No park near by. I might have to go to a
neighbor's house, but I hate to feel like I'm imposing and it's late. I have to
do something because I am simply miserable. Well here goes nothing.
It's after 4am and I go my closest neighbor, Zuri, who happens to be up. I
have never been more grateful in my life. She welcomes me into her home with
open arms and then sits down. She asks if I need anything and I said that I
just need to use the restroom. With such kindness, she says of course and it's
opposite from the family room.
That's her son,
James, in the background.
I ran straight for the bathroom and as soon as I exited, Zuri went to
bed; however, her husband Dominic was sitting on the couch. He heard my stomach
growling and told me to get some food from the fridge. I offered to explain my
situation, but he said it didn't matter. Him and his wife know what it's like
to go hungry so they try to do what they can for those who are currently in
that situation.
He's so nice like his
wife
He told me that Zuri
had made mac 'n cheese for them and there was a plate left in the fridge so he
told me to take that.
It is really good mac
'n cheese.
So I thank them for
their hospitality, but that I must go and earn some money
Maybe someday I'll be
able to repay them for their kindness.
So I returned home to
scope around for things that I could find and sell. I first came upon a rock
then dug it up. OMG it's a time capsule!! I wonder what could be inside!!
So I open the time capsule...
It's some figurine,
but the farmers market says it's worth $25 and I really need the cash so I'll
be selling him.
Now to keep digging
for treasure, plants, and anything else that I can find to see. I gotta buy
myself a toilet LOL.
First stop is a wild
mushroom
That was only worth
$1, which doesn't help me that much.
Then to look for
frogs because you never know
Found a leaf
frog, worth $10.
Next door to this
kids toy store are two more rocks that I can dig up.
*harnesses positive
energy*
The one on the
right of the pic gave me Plathinum, which is worth $20. The one on the left
gave me Baconite, which is worth $25. That's another $45!! Yay. I can do my
happy dance *doodoo*
TWO more rocks
by the fishing pond and I'm anxious to find out what they have.
The one on the right
gave me limestone, which may have a fossil. It did and it's value is $50!! Now
for the last rock, on the left.
It had a time
capsule...
There was another
buddy inside
So I sold him too
LOL.
Now I have almost
$200 so I think I should try and buy a toilet now.
Turns out that
I still can't afford a toilet so looks like I will keep saving up for one.
I spoke to the owner
of the furniture store and she said that she had it at the lowest price she
could go though she may increase it. I need to get enough money for a toilet
before she raises the prices.
I just wish I knew
what I was getting myself into before standing up to my parents.
Looks like I'll be
heading home to bed and then earn more money tomorrow.
Of course I don't get
home until after the sun rises, but I had stuff to do.
