Just stopping in to say goodbye.
Sep. 27th, 2009 08:25 pmGetting ready to get my stuff together to go home. Hopefully I'll be back soon. If not, I'll be back in almost 2 weeks...

It's D-day
Sep. 13th, 2009 02:50 pmAnd the "D" stands for "Dey is moving". :P
They're actually taking a van full of stuff right this moment. Still a few more things, mostly big things like the fridge, freezer, washer & dryer. Dad told them that since we won't have power for a while, they can use the dryer so they won't have to buy one right away. They're already going to have to buy a kitchen table, a couch, some chairs, beds for the kids...
Anyway, the power gets turned off over here sometime tomorrow. We think we may have an idea for getting it turned on cheaper, but I have to call little brother to see if it's possible first. It'll still be a couple weeks until we can get it on if that works. Gotta wait until dad gets paid again. I'll be going over to brother's at least once a week to check my mail and internet still, so I won't be completely out of the loop.
Oh, and dad has and Alternative Power Source he got from somewhere. He plans on plugging the well pump into it everyday so we can still have some water for (cold!)showers and whatever else for a little bit every day. I'll probably try to find a clean bucket to fill so I can have water to heat and wash dishes with, if I need to. Or anything else I might need water for while he's at work. He'll take it to work to plug in to charge at work.
I have to send out my application for food stamps/medicaid today or tomorrow. Even if I can get temporary medicaid until I get a decision on SSI, that would help immensely. And even $10/month in food stamps would help. I know I can't eat more than $50/month so... Hopefully I'll get an appointment with them soon. I'll have to call my Dr.s office tomorrow and have him write me a letter describing my conditions and why I can't really work so they don't try to put me through Job-find. That program is a CROCK. NO ONE gets hired through Job-find. Anyway...
You know, I think I might make a small solar oven so I can bake some stuff from time to time. Maybe try to make some brownies in it or something. It'll give me something to do anyway. It's not like we won't be able to eat, because we've got a propane camp stove we'll be using for now, but sometimes you want something baked. And then I could make biscuits or something. Okay, I'm getting too excited over some cardboard and foil. :p
Anyway, I'll be on-and-off most of the day today, but after that, no net for a few days. :(
Eh, that's all I can think of for now.

SO mom's went alright. Except that I ended up having to chop all my hair off. I had a knot in my hair that conditioner hadn't gotten out all the way. She handed me some scissors and off it came. GRR! Now it's all short in back, long in front. OH NOEZ! I LOOK LIKE TEH EMO! I really hate short hair. The last time I had short hair was in first grade and it took forever to grow back out. I still have to get to a salon or something to get it fixed up, as it's still the rough cut I gave myself.
Anyway, the living room comp suddenly won't stay on. The charger isn't keeping contact so the battery won't charge. This laptop has a different size plug so it won't fit. I may not really be on much until and unless we can figure out the other one. I'll try to get on to at least check my email every few days.

Well now...
Mar. 2nd, 2008 01:29 amSo, earlier, Robbie accidentally spilled water on the keyboard of brother's 'community' laptop. It is currently drying out. Hopefully it will work, tomorrow or in the next couple days. Until, and unless, it starts working again, I may not really be on much, and if I get to use brother's 'new' laptop, I may not post much, as it has a tendency to type extra letters all on its own and it is a royal. pain in the rear end to erase all the extras before entering any text you type. SXee how bazdc it isx? You have no idea how hard it is to log in to anything.
I know I've just recently come back, but it looks like I'll be gone for a while again. We're extremely behind on our cable/internet bill and unless we can miraculously come up with the past due by tomorrow, it'll be shut off until we can get it all plus a reconnection fee. I'm guessing a few weeks.
Disappearing...
Jun. 7th, 2006 05:59 pmYesterday our electric got shut off and we'll be without it for a while, like 3-4 weeks, at least. Until we get it back I'm going to try to come to brother's house once or twice a week so I can try to stay updated on what's going on. No guarantees, though.
Just wanted to let you all know so no one freaks out if I'm gone for a while.
Also, dad just got a new phone, so I may leave a couple voice posts if I can't get here to brothers.
I'm gonna miss Conan for a month?!? NOOOOO!!!!
At least with no TV I can catch up on my reading. I've already read one whole book since yesterday afternoon. And I started another today.
