Whew, Finally An Update!
18 years ago
So much has happened in the past month, inside and out. This will be another long one, folks.
Early last month our phone was disconnected and our DSL was turned off. We were REALLY struggling...3 people living on less than 5$ a day, including smokes. I had been days at a time without food because we just didn't have enough money to get by, and was starting to get very ill. My hair was coming out in clumps when I washed it, I'd lost about 35 lbs since December (From just over 200.) I just didn't know what to do...
So, on Valentine's day, I had oral surgery. 3 wisdom teeth cut out, one which was wrapped around the bone...They gave me 3x the sedative typically given to patients (via IV, no pills here...) and couldn't anesthetize me. The Novacaine didn't completely numb me, either, so I was feeling every single rip and tear in there. (Talk about your dental nightmares...)
When I left, I just hopped in the car, drove back to the apartment, got a few things together, and left. I drove up to Kentucky, to the little rural mining community where I grew up. I've not been here for anything other than a quick visit in about ten years.
My aunt Trula gave me a house (My own house!) and there's FOOD. And I got to keep my SSI check this month for shopping! I got new clothes! w00t!
my cat, Jada, as well as my dog Ruggs came up here with me.
Oh! I forgot to mention my dog...
Remember a few months ago when I said that I wanted a dog? Well, when Eb wouldnt let me have one, I said that one would show up at our apartment...And I said it would be black and white. And that's how I knew it would be mine...
One day, I went outside, and there was this lilttle black and white Shi-tzu just sitting behind my car! He had been sitting out there all day, my roommates said. I asked all around the apartment complex and nobody knew where he came from! So I named him Rugby. (For a stupid reason...Don't wanna go there right now.)
Anyway, there's so much more...I'll post part 2 of this journal later tonight.

well, you can eat, and have some place to stay. so it can go only up from here. *Hugs* stay clean, lady.
Sounds like things are finally settling down a bit for you.
If any income tax was deducted from any of your pay checks within the past three years, you can probably get almost all of it back - even if you never filed a tax return. It could be several hundred dollars. I can prepare the EITC refund returns for you; all I need are your W-2s for the past three years.
