My dream was crushed

fbhjrWe have to prepay for our laundry here on programable cards.
I've long wanted to get every last cent out of that card. Tonight I thought I was going to.
There was $6.60 left on the card and I had two loads to run.
Sadly, as I finished the third action I remembered they had raised the rate to $1.75 and that would leave me $0.40 on the last load. (Hard to argue since for the first time in the 17 years we've lived here they didn't raise our rent when the lease was up for renewal.)
Sad.
I had to walk out in the rain and recharge the card.
But, some day I will get every last cent off of it!
(It may be a small dream, but there is nothing wrong with small dreams.)
