For anyone reading this...
Switching over to Dreamwidth. I realized that I haven't posted here since July 2015, so there really is no reason to keep this Livejournal going. -
status is not quo
My husband's new job puts us just over the poverty guideline, which means we no longer qualify for food stamps or medicaid. Housing covers $100 of the rent right now, before calculating the loss of benefits, so the amount we pay may change. I enrolled in a new health plan for folks in transition like us; we'll pay $93 a month for medical and dental ( Read more... ) -
Graduation
My daughter graduates tomorrow at 4pm. I want to be happy and supportive, but right now I am just plain tired and have to deep-clean. Because my mom was going to a hotel, I wasn't worried about cleaning, because my husband was going to pick her up in the morning, bring her to our place until graduation, then going to dinner and drop her off at the ( Read more... ) -
Breaking through writer's block
I haven't updated in quite some time, and the last few posts have been rushed. Too much Facebook time, to be honest. But I've decided to start updating fics and original stories and to make them easier to find. My archived stuff here: http://luna-s-dreams.livejournal.com/Partly due to a rather traumatic and depressing few years, plus fluctuating ( Read more... ) -
Work
Since I haven't heard back from anyone about a second part-time job yet, I think I should ask if the sanctuary needs more volunteer help during the week, even if it is helping Marianne with the yard sale items. I just have to get out of the apartment each morning, at least for a little while, or else I'll ( Read more... ) -
back to school update
Found out Sat that I am not scheduled until Fri and Sat, which is quite a drastic change from working 5-6 days a week. I asked for Tues. off for appointment, and then found this out. Don't know if this is going to be my new schedule for a while. Trying not to get paranoid about this; I mean, it could be temporary but I need consistent hours in ( Read more... ) -
got my own computer!
Had a good weekend, kids had a sleepover. Neon nails, fun times. -
work and life
Because of the holiday, I have a little bit more income to work with. Which is a good thing, since, thanks to Bryan's ex-boss, we were unable to get the required termination of employment notice in order to continue receiving food stamps. Six months of trying to get him to cooperate. I'm trying to remain calm about this, but I had expected the ( Read more... ) -
Interview
*deep breath* Meeting with Petco managers today after working the bake sale, so I hope that I make a good first impression. I know that once I can demonstrate my good work ethic and customer service skills that they will see that I would be an asset to their team. I just need to keep my responses brief and relevant, you know? Avoid rambling and ( Read more... ) -
The Perks of Being a Wallflower
So far, The Perks of Being a Wallflower is proving to be my favorite book ever. Consider, if you will, the facts that I read at least a hundred books per year and that I have a wide taste in books, and you will "get" that this isn't an exaggeration. I identify only too well with the main character and much of what he writes could have been lifted ( Read more... )
