We are behind on rent again. Still short 300 from last month, haven't got enough to pay this month by a long shot. Jon is broke after paying me half the rent and his bills so I have enough money in the bank to pay SDGE, my phone and other sundry small bills and my credit card which I have to check on and see what it's at. I keep forgetting to change the payment method on my phone so it's going through my credit card every month darnit. So that's a constant 'finger in the dike' with my card, I want to pay that down so it's not over half the balance all the time.
We need an extra 1000 a month just to cover rent and everything else will be gravy. I'm actually looking at grocery delivery companies as a side job since I have the car and can shop for things at Target or Walmart lightning fast. Of course can't make too much money or it dings my SSI but that's not likely. Wish I could sell some of my art or jewelry to bring in some cash, because that's not worth much and won't count against income.
Oh I tried to reapply to EDD and they wanted the income records from HD from the last year and a half. Well bad thing about that is, it's online in their system I could have sworn I had that saved and written down or something. I tried logging in, they gave me my log in but when i went to do a new password it said if my email was in the system they would email me with a new password. Never got it. The only income left on that is maybe three months between January and March when they fired me, that may not be enough money to get unemployment. Oh and since Jon's been out of work so long he's not eligible for that either. I tried to get my medical changed over to MediCal so it didn't cost me anything but they wanted to make sure I wasn't getting anything from my retirement account that I closed..which I couldn't find any of the info or contact name to give them.
Other than that just hanging in there. I keep telling him the point is to have money left over so it starts building up but we needed printer ink and groceries since that money hasn't come in yet and of course that's only good for food items not bills. No prospective jobs either even part time being a Walmart greeter would be fine. I've seen older people than me doing that job.
It's always money issues with me ever since I can remember. Is it just me being unobservant? Lazy? Apathetic? It's like a perpetual motion machine that if you stop turning the crank it runs down.
On the bright side, a hummingbird in the Jacaranda tree outside our kitchen window.
