I hate America

That's right, I said it. I hope whatever right wing nut cases show up here read that and have a stroke.

I'm on unemployment, and because Sam didn't get a paycheck from November until... March? We're behind on bills. They shut off our phones today and we are $543 short on rent. What are we going to do? You tell me and we'll both know.

The unemployment isn't helping. I've applied for other services, but they haven't come through yet.

Honestly? I'm... so beyond frustrated. I want something to go right!

No bites at the job search so nothing there to look forward to. Submitted a story to an anthology, but not sure how well it'll be received. The worst that can happen is I get rejected, right?

Just... ARGH. Never mind that next week's check has to go to take Scotty to the vet to remove his stitches. See, my cat got an anal gland abscess, which had to be opened up, drained and then stitched back together. Monday the 13th, we take Scotty in to have them removed. So, ya know, yet another expense we can't afford. Sigh.

I just want good news? Can I have that?

I'm so sorry. I have a plethora of WFH resources links. Most aren't glamorous. I keep an updated list b/c with law firms, you never know. Except when I was young and didn't know any better, I don't think I've ever felt genuine job security with lawyers. Anyway, I'd be happy to share. Just let me know.

But yay! on the submission! What kind of story is it?

I saw your recent post about writing, which was timely, as I just started a writing challenge, something I've never done. https://www.100dayswritingchallenge.com But it's 250 words/day or 30 minutes of editing/planning for 100 days. I'd like to see if I can do that.
