Finally There
2006-01-11 00:24:00 Yesterday was the last day in our house. A bunch of people from church came to help us get everything into storage. We are living in a hotel now - until next monday the 15th anyway. If something doesnt happen between now and then we will be 100% homeless.If only the damn disability process went a little faster.

Last Night Here
2006-01-09 06:11:00 This is our last night at this house. We have everything packed and ready to go, so first thing in the morning we have to find a storage shed to put everything in. We at least know that we have secured a hotel for 1 week so that took a little burden off our shoulders.Our new found inventor friend took us to dinner and we talked about some business and manufacturing ideas.

My wife just got a call about a job she put her resume in for but now we have to be out of this house and wont have access to our phone# so even if she did get the "Your Hired" phone call we dont have anyway to know.This really sucks - I've been waiting forever for my disability claim but that antiquated system may as well be running on square wheels.All I ever wanted out of life was to be a good carpenter, but my back went to hell and I just cant work anymore, what the hell does a person do while they wait for disability benefits?Went to have coffee with a friend of ours today an... 1, 2 |
