Oh, Brokensrestartbutton, I'm so sorry you're having frustrating problems at the moment. It sounds like your town was hit especially hard with the economic woes of the last couple years; sounds like they've got problems of their own with lots of people needing their help.

Glad you found your cat; I have two and worry about them frequently. Did you start the red tape to get the medical coupon? Sorry you can't do school until winter either; that would have been nice to have to focus on while you work on all the other nit picking things and hoops to jump through one needs to do to survive. Any indication when your job might come back?
