I paid the phone bill in the night depository and put $5.00 worth of gas in the car. I wrote a 'thank you' note to Star and wrote one of Mom's relatives a letter.
Sonny finished my roof. Hooray! He said he'd be back to pick up the old shingles, plywood and tar paper, but knowing Sonny, I won't see him again until I go to collect rent and I'll pick up the roofing mess. He told me he is working in a city that is a one and one-half hour drive one way, and thinks he will be laid-off this week. Felicia is working for an auto parts distributor locally, and is making minimum wage, $3.35 an hour.
I'm going to have to skip another house payment this month. My unemployment check hasn't come yet, nor have I been sent a regular form to fill out. Once the unemployment office completely lost any record of me and another time everything was two weeks later than normal. It makes me wonder if they have any money in the bank to pay anyone or are the employees just paid to shuffle papers from one pile of papers to another and back again.
Greg is going to get thirty-five hours work this week, because the other stock boy at the grocery store will be going back to school.
