I posted a prayer request yesterday (it's listed under SuzyQue) and just wanted to give an update...
I went to Vocational Rehab to talk to my counselor. Good news! They are able to help me with the rent, electricity, and car insurance. The only downside is that it may take up to three weeks for the rent and car insurance.
I talked to my landlord, and the reaction that I got was “Well, you will still owe us the late fee amount that isn’t included in the amount VR is willing to pay, and what about October’s rent?†Okay, so, VR is paying the $55 I owe for August rent and the $89 I owe for late fees up to today and September’s rent. You would think my landlord would be happy to get what I owe up to today, which is guaranteed money. He will get it. It will just take some time.
I also talked to my sister. I asked if she would be willing to help me out until VR can get me the money, and I would pay her back as soon as I get the money from VR. Well, we had a huge argument. My sister basically told me that she could help me anymore. I needed to get over my depression because it’s just life, and everyone has problems. Yes, I do agree with her that it’s just life and everyone has problems, but the difference between my sister’s life and my life is, first of all, my sister and her husband make about $60,000 a year vs. my $18,000 a year. Second, if my sister were to get sick and put on medical leave, she would still have her husband’s income, which is about $40,000 a year. I was trying to make it on half my pay during my medical leave, and it takes more than half of one of my paychecks just to pay the rent. I was three months behind in rent, so yes, I’m depressed. Third, my sister would have the moral support from her husband. I have nobody but me. My sister said that I wasn’t the only person in the world who isn’t married with financial problems and to just get over it. I told my sister that “yes, I’m not the only person in the world who isn’t married and has dire strait financial problems and only makes enough to get by on, but I would be willing to bet anyone in my situation would be struggling with depression.â€
So, this is where things are right now. I’m not talking to my sister. My internet will be turned off I’m guessing tomorrow. But, my rent and electricity will be paid soon.
