Million Dollar Baby

I was never known to be the overly emotional type. I did really well in school. Numbers were my speciality. So as I sat in the overly large waiting room, I ran them in my head. A woman is pregnant for nine months. Let's say that that doesn't involve February. That would be 275 days. A million divided by 275, that's a little over 3,600 a day. Divide that by 24 hours and we

Clara stayed with me for two more weeks. I still had about a month worth of money saved up in my bank account.

I fished it out of my pocket and saw that I had gotten a notification from my bank account. Before I left I had calculated that I had about fifteen dollars for a week's worth of groceries.
