Eva’s Byte #432 – The Almighty Dollar
The phrase, “almighty dollar” has been historically attributed to Washington Irving who mentioned it in the story “The Creole Village” (1837).
One can celebrate the might of the almighty dollar on National Dollar Day (August 8th) even though we spend money for this and that on any given day of the year. Depending on how much money we’ve had to shell out for this or that, there’s probable cause for complaining rather than celebrating.
So, what can the almighty dollar buy today?
Many of these items come under the radar of a dollar by one cent; others are a lot cheaper:
E-Book
Scratch-Off lottery tickets
Tube of lipstick
Greeting card
Plenty of discounted school and office supplies as kids head back to school
Pair of ankle socks
Fast-food specials
Inexpensive spices and seasonings
The buck doesn’t stop here. Seek and one shall find more…
In the capacity of a writer who is fussy and frugal with words, I’m in the midst of drafting chapter 38 (1118 words thus far) along my Contemporary work in progress.
*May each of us spend our time and money wisely.
My sincere appreciation to you for reading this far.

Eva's Byte #444 - Purse Finds
Besides the essentials one might find inside a purse on any given day—cell phone, wallet, hand sanitizer, compact mirror, and hairbrush—all of which are ever present in mine—there are other staples I conceal and carry.
Here’s five more:
Tissues
Mints
Lipstick
Pen and self-stick note pad
A plastic bag, always handy for popping in a to-go box from a restaurant
In the capacity of a writer, I’ve finished drafting chapter 44 (967 words), and have begun drafting chapter 45 (125 words thus far) along my Contemporary work in progress.
*May each of us carry what we need to get by away from home.
