LESS money, mo problems. duh.

*waiting to hear from social security about what I need to do next. I had my physical on saturday, and it was kinda crappy. I mean, it was good that the doc was a woman, so yay! but other than that it wasn't good. because it's rly hard to tell where you hurt or how far you can bend when you're not hurting at that moment. I was pretty close to pain-free (omg, can you believe that?) for two weeks before my appt, so I didn't even have the ghost of pain to go on. and then two days after my appt, it started to rain, and now I've been in pain for 5-6 days, but whatever. :P the worst part of my appt was when she asked me to count back from 50 by 7 and I froze and maybe started crying a little. ha! /o\ so fucking embarrassing. no idea what that was about, but yeah. in the end I did it, slowly, but it was really nerve-wracking.

*toothache. under my gums. way up high above my teeth, actually. it's swollen, too. it only really hurts if I press on it, so I figure I have time before I have to scrape up money to go to the dentist, but yeah. that's weighing on my mind.

*my food stamps are running out (after today I'll be out completely) and I haven't been approved for more yet. funny story. not gonna repeat it. mostly Florida's fault, but I did have one vague warning. but when I checked to see what to do about it, I was told in two separate places that I didn't need to worry about it until February. unfortunately that was a lie, and I did have to worry, and I ended up losing SNAP benefits. so now I have no money for food! I have since jumped through all the hoops to get them back, but I still have to turn in one more thing, but yesterday I was on hold for 40 minutes on the phone to know that much, and THEN after I got off the phone realized that I needed my case number in order to do this one last thing. I don't have my case number. I do not have ONE SINGLE scrap of paper with my case number on it, and now I'm going to have to call back and probably stay on hold for another 40-60 minutes just to get it. >:(

SO YEAH. being poor sucks. I have this secret list in my head of things I can do/buy/stop worrying about if I get SSI disability. *dreams*

(((hugs))) that gums thing sounds like an abscess - the child had one and he had to get antibiotics and then have the tooth pulled (that might not be necessary for you but his was a baby tooth, so no loss) ffffffuck teeth /o\ I have to get on getting my wisdom teeth out asap :/ :/

Fingers crossed for the SSI disability. Being poor is exhausting and stressful.

I hope an abscess is not what it is, but ugh. hoping doesn't rly help. :(

*hugs* thanks.

Ugh, that food stamps thing is the WORST. It took months for mine to get back. Luckily, it happened in the fat of my year.

I know how bad it can get! and also the guilt that comes from getting frustrated and/or angry about it, because it's free, right? I mean, we shouldn't complain about free food at alllll. at least that's how I feel. it's this stupid thing where I feel the steam coming out of my ears over it and then I feel horrid guilt about it. :\

ugh, idek :(

YES YES THAT'S IT EXACTLY. They cut mine by 40 bucks because I had more summer hours, but I haven't called to correct it because: well, do I really need it?

I have 24 bucks in my bank account (given by my parents!) and 8 dollars in SNAP. SO.
