And This Is What It's Come To . . .

Mom wrote me a check yesterday. I won't say for how much.

On the "For" line she wrote this: food, shelter, survival.

Yeah.

Anyway, I went down to the unemployment office and was glad to discover that things weren't quite as screwed up as I thought they were. Got home, certified for the past two weeks and we'll see how it all shakes out.

I want to do some proper sorting and purging so I can find things more easily and think more clearly. I should probably eat something first, though.

Today I took pleasure in quietly listening to my iPod while I waited for my name to get called.

Today I learned I still qualify for benefits, as long as I keep certifying.
