I've been thinking for a long time about buying myself a present. Most people rely on others to surprise them and make them feel better, but I'm weird in that I like surprising myself, and I can cheer myself up fairly well (some of the best times I've had have been making myself laugh, after all.)
But what can I buy myself, really? I don't ever go anywhere where they sell stuff I'd buy.
So the money I'd spend on a lipgloss or bracelet or whatever is going to hurricane relief efforts instead, because that's a better present, in my opinion.
I don't have a whole lot of money. I have no job and no allowance, so all the money I have is what I've saved from previous birthdays and Christmases. (And as my relatives get older and sicker and die, I get less and less money.)
But I also don't have much to spend money on. So I do have extra money sometimes. And I don't have a thing to spend it on- except hurricane relief.
Ivy B. Greenflower is being charitable, vosotros! And we all know how cool she is. So why don't we all be like her? Come on, it's not that hard. Go without your fries for a day and give the fifty cents to people who don't have the luxury of fries. Okay? Good.
Those in Spring Hill can make checks payable to Springstead High School (put something like "Red Cross" in the memo line) and bring them to the front office, I'm sure they'll know what to do. Donations are tax deductible, so donate, please!!
