If I were REALLY homeless...

Earlier this week, I had a flat tire and needed to employee the help of my co-workers.  While milling around in my trunk for the spare, one of them observed and then stated loudly, "Good grief, Angie Good!  What's with all this stuff?  Are you homeless?"

Before I go any further,
I want to list the items in my trunk...

an afghan
(this was in case my car breaks down in the winter)
 
a crate with necessary car items:  Jumper cables, oil, de-icer, etc.
 
1 sage green fleece blanket
(which is my PICNIC blanket!)
 
1 pair of cranberry high heels
(that need to have the bottom of the heel replaced)
 
1 pair of emergency flip-flops
(for the last minute, wanna-grab-a-pedicure? days)
 
1 book (this is in my trunk because one time I broke-down
in the winter and had to wait & wait for a tow truck. 
During the 60 minute wait, I thought to
myself, I wish I had a book! and then I placed one in my trunk.)

I hardly think this list qualifies me as being homeless.  Goodness.  If I was really homeless, I would have...

a mini-fridge filled with snacks

a case of bottled water - HY-DRATION!

an air mattress ~ I hate camping.  I hate sleeping on the ground.

a fluffy pillow

an expandable lawn chair for afternoons of sitting in the sun and reading

a straw hat to protect my head while I sit in said lawn chair

sunscreen

a box of yarn and knitting needles ~ I would get bored being homeless without crafting.

an inflatable pool ~ cleanliness and Godliness...hand-in-hand :)

While I was in The JoAnn Fabrics store this afternoon purchasing pre-punched paper for my 2024 garden journal, I said to myself, "Self,...
