I have called 211 & am sending paperwork to various agencies for help. My husband is working 12 hours per day everyday to make money for our family to survive on. He swears that he'll work all summer long to make sure we have a furnace by the time winter comes. He works outside in a rail yard loading & unloading cargo containers. It is exhausting work & leaves him no time for a life outside of work.

I see my therapist on Monday but she doesn't do medication changes. I would have to see my the nurse who takes care of my meds. I have a feeling I need an adjustment.

It is hard to tell my step-daughter who lives with us that she can't even have six bucks to go ice skating because we can't afford it. I used to have a job that paid $19.00 an hour, paid taxes, & felt productive. One day at work a week before Christmas in 2008 the company laid off 240, including me.

I am trying my best to do what I can.
