Woah - 06.08.14 in Your Face

My GoFundMe page has been amazingly successful. I was mortified at the idea of posting it on my Facebook page, and letting people I haven't seen in years know that I am broke and asking for help for airfares. But, I am desperate, so I just did it.

And holy shit, guys, there's over $500 in there after about 8 hours. I have cried about 5 times today, after people I haven't spoken to in a long time have chipped in. My Heslop put in $300 on his own, which knocked the wind out of me.

This morning I went to the unemployment office, tail between legs, and asked if I might qualify for a payment. I am embarrassed about it, because I had a job. And I quit it of my own volition. But, I quit it because I thought I was about to move, and not about to get knocked about by the visa office.

I got my name in the system, and was given a bunch of passwords to help me fill out an online form. There was a line for the computers, but the assistant said that I could fill it out from a home computer if I didn't want to wait. I went home and did that, and they will call me tomorrow to interview about it. Mike's considered to not be earning much, so who knows. I might be lucky. I'd only want one or two payments, that would be plenty to get me by, and I am still working on selling my car. I borrowed money to put another six months of registration on it (it only had a month left) so hopefully that is the ticket to a sale.

Not much else going on. Dad just called, I asked about my crazy step-mother and told him that I care about her, despite our recent differences, and I just want her to be happy, and for him to be happy. He wanted to fob off the conversation, but I was able to say all that I wanted to say, and that has helped me settle it all in my mind.
