My head's been wet with the midnight dew
Sep. 23rd, 2011 10:41 pmWriter's block is such a crapstain on the face of life. I mean, really. I was doing so well on my fic there for a while, too, making steady progress again & even finally outlining the final bits, but now I'm trapped in another one of those "nothing sounds right!"-phases. Urgh.
Also: I'm bored. Very, very. But nothing sounds interesting. I hate when I get into one of these moods.
SIGH.
Okay, enough complaining. Here's a couple RL updates:
-I had my phone appointment with the SNAP folks today, then swung over there on the bus to drop off a copy of my ID & recent paystubs, and now it's all set. There's no money on the card they gave me yet, but it should be there on Monday. I'll have $80 for September (since the month's almost over already), and if I still have zero income in October then I'll get $200 for more food then. If unemployment does go through, the monthly amount will be $15. Which…isn't a lot, but even fifteen bucks can make a big difference when it comes to being able to eat for a couple more days. So, yeah. Whatever happens, this is at least one good thing.
-When I got home, there was a message on my machine from the unemployment department -- requesting a call back by Tuesday afternoon so they can make their decision. I called back immediately, but also got a voicemail & had to leave a message as well. I'll try again on Monday morning. Here's hoping the decision is made quickly (I didn't even expect a call yet, so maybe it won't take as long overall as I was advised) and in my favor.
-My apartment complex is being overrun by stray cats. Okay, not really OVERRUN, but there's a frakload of 'em. When I went to dump my trash in the dumpster the other night, something like six or more cats popped out of the shadows in unison & made a run for it. I was just like, "Whoa." Heh. Really, though, I feel bad for them. Management sent out a notice warning people not to leave food out--at risk of being fined if they do; if it weren't for that, I'd probably try to put a dish out or something, myself. I definitely can't take any in as pets, either, not just because of finances, but also because I'm allergic (growing up with a cat was good stuffy-nosed times, lemme tell you. Heh). It's just not practical. Poor putty-tats though. (Or Puss 'n Boots, as my family used to say. P.S. I wish these cats really did wear boots, because that'd be awesome.)
Anywhoozle, that's about it. For my VotD, here's some foxy ladies foxying about:
