I have 9 weeks before I leave for vacation for 2 weeks. I have been unemployed for over a year and am going stir crazy.
(I did apply for SSDI what was not approved. Lawyer said my appeal will most likely not be approved but that is another story)

I can't decide if I should get a part-time job before I leave for vacation and have no pay for 2 weeks? Or should I wait until I get back from vacation to get a job?

( I currently get housing assistance, cash assistance and food stamps)

That's a tough question. I don't know exactly what I would do if I was in your shoes.

One thing I do with regard to tough decisions is write out a list of pros and cons of various actions. Then I rank them in importance in terms of my value system and what is most important to me personally. I find it helpful to write out the list and then look at it a day or so later so things can settle in my mind.

Sometimes this approach helps. Sometimes not so much. Hopefully others here will have more helpful ideas for you. Best of luck on whatever you decide!

So change of plans. I'm not going to Arizona but I have to move now. I have 5 months to find a place within my poverty level budget

I do this too, but not always. Also I've found out that I don't have to do everything in one day or decide right that minute; it can help to wait a day and see if I feel differently then. Lately I've had to pace myself on stuff because there's so much to do. No deadlines, just in my head because I want to get it done.

Anything that overwhelms me I use in little steps. But it doesn't always work.

Here waiting lists for low income housing is years long and the requirements to even GET on the list are daunting. There's age restrictions, minimum and maximum income requirements, etc. And they wonder why there's so many tents out there.

DeeeSchmeee I really feel for you. I hope something works out.

It helps to know others feel the same way
