Thawing out finally...

Looks like things are finally starting to thaw out here after the Midwest was blanketed with snow and ice for the last three days. Thanks to Chris and his family, I was able to sleep inside a house for two of the three days. The bad weather did bring a damper to things as I had several appointments this week but due to the weather majority were cancelled. But did manage to have my appointment to apply for food stamps. Just had two forms that needed to be filled out by other people. Was able to get one filled out that day and returned back to the office on the same day. The other form, I had to have CBS fill out which I dropped off on Friday to them. They (CBS) said it takes up to 72 hours. And then once the food stamp people get that back, it will take them three to five days to process my case. So, I'm probably looking at like 10 to 14 days from this post before I'll receive any food stamps. As soon as I know how much I get and etc, I'll let you all know.

But until then, things are continue to spiral downhill for me in my life. Just barely holding on surviving but for how much longer? This upcoming week, I'm not really looking forward to see unless a miracle happens and I win the lottery or something. 1) My bank account will be overdrawn as of Thursday (Feb 5th). Each day it's overdrawn, I get charged $6 on top of that. Well, without a job, that might be a while. 2) As of Monday, I'll be foodless basically until I get my food stamps either later that week or the early the following week. So, I'm working on a plan to get me some food for the week. 3) Getting close to running out of gas for the car. With no job comes even a greater chance of having no money! *lol* Not to mention, looks like Chase is going to start hounding me about my car payment as well. So, who knows how long it will be until I have no car? Thinking of the car? I'm wondering if my homeless verficiation letter I received from Recovery Network would work with JD ByRider to get a cheaper car? They say they want me to stay a month at a physical address. Something I have to think about soon maybe?

Anyway, back to my life I go to try and fix things to make it better.
