Wednesday, July 18, 1984

I mailed my unemployment form today to start my unemployment benefits rolling again, since tomorrow will be my last day of work.  I hope that my unemployment benefits hold out until I go back to work. 

 I'm waiting for last week's paycheck to come in the mail, to be able to pay the Great Gas God and the phone company.

 The pool is in pretty good shape, and I have had the necessary money to buy the chemicals to keep it that way so far this year.  I've picked up enough pool chemicals to last until the eleventh of August.  Even with the twenty-five percent discount I got for writing the manager a complaint, stating the store always runs out of pool chemicals, I am broke.

 Tonight I finished buying most of the things that I'll need for my trip. 

 Steve went to the Township Supervisor's office to see if he could get the $144.00 a month welfare amount, even though he has to work twenty hours a month for the township in order to receive it, because the unemployment office hasn't determined whether he is eligible for unemployment benefits.  The federal government hasn't forwarded his military record to the unemployment office yet.  More bureaucracy!

 Sonny still hasn't finished my roof and I am getting disgusted with him.  I can't get anyone else to finish it now.  I'll never let him do a big project for me again.  If I have the money in August , I'd like to paint the outside trim on both houses, but I probably won't have it.  It's also possible I won't have the time, if I'm hired for work somewhere.
