overdraft?

Upon looking at my online checking account details tonight for the first time in a week, I realized that i had forgotten about a $20 atm withdrawal and that the money I spent tonight on booze pushed me to the edge: that my rent check was about to overdraw my account because of an auto xfer I have going into my savings.
But then I realized that I could immediately xfer the money back into my checking from my savings and thereby keep my rent check from turning my account red.
So now, instead of having $25 to live on for the next week, and instead of having a $25 deficit in my account (due to overdraft fee), I have $1 in my account to live off of, in addition to $3 in my wallet.
At least I have food.
And booze.
