until May 13th, 2019; I'm going to temporarily suspend poetics and dedicate 2 more hours towards financial independence. this is because (as of now) I won't have any food resources after the 13th, and if I wait until the 13th to suspend my poetics, then it would be too late to secure food. Time is one of my only valuable resources; so in the event of a temporary emergency concerning resources, time becomes an optional resource to wager.

I'm going to re-apply for government food benefits. Then I'm going to focus on applying for the job at a local company. I would apply for the job first, but I'm not confident in my ability to secure a job in 10 days: even if I was immediately hired, I don't think I'd get a paycheck within 10 days. I will get mom, my landlord, to sign necessary papers for the food benefits. If she refuses, I'll reasonably deduct food expenses from my rent until she signs the papers.
