Found Two Pennies in a Parking Lot Tonight

This evening I took a walk, a little longer than normal, but I'm so tired still that I decided maybe I need more exercise. More being the operative word since I haven't been getting hardly any lately, which can make you darned sluggish, too. 

So on my walk, I found 2 pennies in a parking space in a neighboring parking lot. Yay! I love to find money! 

Have you found any recently? I hope so. And lots!

Finally Feeling Better and I Found 17 Cents

Today I finally ventured out again, having just left the house last week to go to the doctor and a quick trip to the store. I'm recovering well from the shingles. Ugh. Can't believe I got shingles! 

Here are my articles chronicling this malady:  I Have Shingles and On the Mend from the Shingles. I'm so glad this is running its course. 

I just checked and there's this handy dandy book to understanding shingles. I would have liked to have known more about it before I became afflicted!


Today I went to the thrift store to drop off some books. I'm trying to declutter inch by inch. Seven books out the door. Yay!

Then I headed to the library where I had some books on reserve waiting for me. Then I went to the grocery store where I found four coins:

• a penny in a change tray
• a nickel in the change tray of a copier
• a penny on the floor
• a dime near a checkout lane

It had been almost a week since I'd found any money so I was tickled pink!

Found Two Pennies and What's Really Wrong With Me

Last week I went to the doctor and was told I had a sinus infection. My right eye started feeling extremely itchy later in the week and today I went back to the doctor. I have shingles. 

Ugh. I hate it! So check out the link above if you want to see my weirdo get up for keeping a blister near my eye covered so I don't scratch it.

Have you had shingles? Did you survive? I hope so, and guess so if you lived to read this. 

Oh, and I found two pennies today. One on the floor of the post office and one at the pharmacy on the floor.

Found a 1942 Mercury Dime Plus More Coins

Today I ran some errands and while out here's what I found:

• a dime on the floor at the dollar store
• a penny in the parking lot of the dollar store
• a penny on the floor at the grocery store
• a 1942 Mercury dime under the coin machine at the grocery store
• a dime on the grocery store floor

I was so thrilled to find so many coins but especially the 1942 Mercury dime! Woo hoo! I looked it up and it appears to only be worth about $2 but that's okay. I'll keep this coin separate. I'll put in a pinch dime, sort of like a pinch hitter, in my found money jar.
