I reacted rather than responded to the situation, I panicked due to the wording in the notice I got. For whatever reason I got my full check this month but unless it gets straightened out it may be short next month. I am thankful for help from friends, it helps us in small steps but it is help that means a lot. I really am very thankful even though I don't say it enough.
I have forms filled out for MediCal/EBT to show that I indeed have nothing to my name, no stocks, bonds, real estate, or other things that are considered 'assets'. Those get sent off tomorrow.
I have $23 left until next months check because Jon's check will be eaten by his bills, he might have about the same amount left over. We need $20 for wet food for Rocky tomorrow to last until next month, $71 car insurance has been postponed to the 19th but won't have that by then either (still no confirmation someone got my faxed in form to lower my premium). We still need a few groceries, staples like meat (freezer and fridge are devoid of anything like that), some canned goods and sodas. So yeah... Might get some left overs from the food donation on Wednesday but unknown what will be in that.
This is what we're dealing with on a regular basis. Still have to contact Medicare/SSA and get that untangled as well.
This is our life right now and I hate not being able to have and do what makes our living a bit brighter. My bright shining stars are Jon and Rocky.
I hate not being able to provide for them to the best possible life we can have. Jon feels the same way but all the things we could possibly do to ease our budget or create more income is not feasible.
Just wanted to post an update. Still not good, we're always hanging by a thread and I have been for most of my adult life since coming to San Diego. Was it the right move? It was the only move I had available and wouldn't change it if I could. A lot of other things I would change for sure, given what I know now.
But that is another wish fulfillment that is 20/20 hindsight.
