40.

so i had my annual dhs food stamps interview on may 13th. my food stamps for the past year have reloaded on the 5th of every month. the 5th of june came along, and they didnt refill. when they didnt refill the next day on the 6th, i called my case worker to find out why. I hadn't received any notification of a loss, change, or continuation of benefits. unfortunately it takes at least 48hrs for a caseworker to call you back. so i didnt hear from her until this morning.

she called me, i was asleep, and she left a voice mail. i listened to it when i got up.
she told me that my case is one of the cases she didnt finish in a timely manner. she was planning on entering it into the system this morning when she got to work. (27 days after the interview, 4 days after i was supposed to get more stamps) but because of the recent storms, the systems were all down, and she didnt know when she would be able to complete my case update.

which means i dont know when we will get our foodstamps.

this is bad, we have no food in our house. we are down to condiments and random ingredients. nothing to make a full meal, and nothing to really snack on either. why dont we just use our own money to eat out or buy groceries?

because we have $45 to last us until thursday. and since ive already taken nearly $300 out of our savings account to get by with bills and what not, we really technically have -$255 to get us by until thursday. $45 isnt even a full tank of gas.

not to mention we have about $250 in bills due this week that we dont have the money to pay, so we will end up being charged overdue fees.

i REALLY hope i get a call from petsmart. ryan is either flat out leaving or putting in his two weeks on july 14th. hes going to look for a pt job so he can go back to school in the fall. but one pt job isnt going to even come close to paying the bills. especially since our new roommate will be paying $100 less then our current one, and wont owe us rent till august 15th. so we will have about a month of bills with essentially no way to pay for them.

ok im done complaining. or stressing, whichever it is.
gotta figure out something to fill me up.
since i havent eaten yet today.
cause my case worker is stupid and lazy.
