Too much money

When do you ever get as lucky as I did today? I went to the grocery store for some potatoes, and decided to use my debit card to pay the bill. Now, I can count on 1 hand the number of times I have used my debit card to make purchases. I just never do it. But today I wanted some cash back too, so I did it. I asked for $40, and my receipt indicated that my change was $40. But I got 10 $5 bills from the machine. I stood there, counting and counting, convinced at first it was lack of sleep that was causing me to add wrong. But no, the machine REALLY gave me $10 extra. That nearly made me jump for joy on the spot - not because the $10 is that important, but because it just felt like a really good luck sign. It just felt GOOD to have something totally random and positive happen today. So did I give the money back? Hell no. Maybe they'll track me down and take it back from me at some point. But for today, I'm enjoying my good fortune.
