I'm not sure how I've been smiling through all of this, but I have, and authentically. I guess I have to try to make my daughter think that regardless of hard times, you can still keep a stiff upper lip and all that. It is the truth. I haven't written a blog in a while because there really wasn't much positive to say. Most of my efforts to get help from "help" sources were a total wash. There really isn't much out there. I did get on medi-cal, food stamps and cash aid which has helped. I have stopped paying all bills. My water was shut off for five days, that was pretty terrible! My electricity and gas got shut off, but I did get help there. The city has a department whereas you show them you disconnect notice and proof of income, etc. they will pay it for you. Which they did, so it got turned back on. My cable, internet and phone got shut off, but I just use a neighbors wireless for internet and I found out, I really don't need cable as much as I thought I did! My cell was shut off, but when I had a little money I found a cheaper (boost mobile) company and got a new phone (smart phone for 79.00 at boost). Of course no one knows my new number and I lost my 310 area code (darn it!!), but I like the fact that it never rings! I really really do!
I guess the reason I finally am writing is my car got repossessed today. It's going to cost over 1100.00 to get it back, guess they are going to have to keep it for a while because I haven't even paid half of January's rent, not to mention Feb. or March! Finding neighbors to take my daughter to Girl Scouts tonight and school tomorrow. Didn't have anything planned for the weekend anyway. Let's see what monday brings! I knew I should have bought lottery tickets last night! Oh, right, I don't have any money!! :O)
Had a bit of a panic attack, I'm better now. I think the repo guy felt like crap, but he's got to be used to that right?
I'm going to go lay down.
