Well, she has been on unemployment for longer than I've been moved in. With the latest decision by congress to cut off unemployment extensions, she's screwed.
She's been trying to find a job, no one is hiring! She has a wide range of abilities but the issue is the pay scale. She needs nothing less than $10/hour in order to afford rent.
Good news is she just got a job babysitting for $300/week starting next week but that will only last for July/August. The hope would be it would continue after that, but if it doesn't.... she has to find a place to live for free. I can't afford this place on my own, so that puts me out as well. Again.
Crossing our fingers, scouring Craig's list and other sources for any kind of opening in two months. PLEASE! I just changed my address again! this is getting frustrating and a sign of the times. What about all those people who truly are on the edge and if they lose unemployment they are literally on the street?
Someone had better do something with this economy or thousands of people are going to be on the street. Homelessness will be the new second life for many people.
Other than that Mrs. Lincoln....
I got a call from the radiology lab to do a retake on my mammogram. Nothing really concerning, I have what they called a 'water cyst' on my right side, they confirmed it with a sonogram. So in this case it may be that they didn't get a good enough shot of it.
As for my other problems... still need to see what else the doctor wants in the way of tests etc. other than the C-R cancer screening test.
On a lighter note, tomorrow night (Tuesday) myself and two friends from work are going to see A-Team. I haven't seen a movie in the theaters since.... the first Narnia movie came out I think.
It should be loads of fun!
So... going to go out to knitting tonight and see if there's anyone with job prospects for Katie.
(Notice the new background? Blogger finally heard my fervent plea to be able to have a photo in the background. This is one of theirs, which is fine by me!)
