My Thoughts: when the mood strikes.

         I had an in-person interview today at 3pm at a local law firm not five minutes from my apartment.  I pray that is the job for me.  If hired, I'll be playing catch-up with my bills for the first month or two, then I start socking money into savings. 

         Let me get myself in a better position financially so I can begin to ready myself for retirement. 

         I went to a food pantry today and waited for almost two hours to talk to a volunteer and then get some groceries.  They were packed with people.  Unbelievable.  This particular food pantry is supported by many different area churches.  They help you out with staples like canned goods, cornmeal, beans, rice, etc. 

         I faxed my paperwork, lease, etc., to the lady at the Food Stamp office today too.

         Still no word from unemployment as to a date for my appeal hearing.

         Once I get my life back in order, I may check into getting some schooling to be a social worker.  I could even do that when I retire.  I really like the idea of helping people who are down and out, in need of a helping hand.  I've met so many nice people --- a blessing really.
