Well, its been two weeks since he got back. We spent our second wedding anniversary (June 22nd) at the local No. 1 Chinese Buffet. Thanks to Mom for the $20 for that, and the movie we rented (I am #4) before I had to leave because I couldn't afford the $10 to stay with him that night.
He is still in the seedy motel they put him in to start with. Of course, he has to be re-evaluated every week to make sure he still has a place to stay because they want to know that he is looking for a new place, even though he isn't allowed to have a job. And Workforce NY is insisting he apply for jobs in order to keep his food stamps, even though he isn't allowed to hold a job. He is not allowed to be around anyone with a criminal record, unless it is approved, and most of the guys who stay in the motel are there for the same reason.
I quit my job so I could move out there to be with him and help. I am withdrawing part of my 401k to find a place to live. But because the 401k withdrawal takes time, I have spent the last 4 days in Auburn, no gas in my car, food from a local food pantry (I never thought I would have to do that), and two dollars in my pocket. My cats a pissed at me because their food is awful, since I can only afford Aldi's and Alley Cat. My husband only has a prepaid phone, so of course, his minutes ran out two days ago. I barely get to talk to him, and I worry constantly about him getting to his appointments on time, and the people he hangs out with at that motel. I don't trust a one of them.
The check is supposed to come tomorrow. I am hoping I will be able to cash it at Key, through their check cashing service. If not, I have to deposit it in my bank, and I probably won't have money until Wednesday or Thursday, and they might kick him out of the motel Tuesday morning if we can't pay rent. We also need to get phones with unlimited minutes (yesterday), but they cost money too. My electric, cable, and car insurance will be cancelled or shut off in the next week if I don 't pay them. My bank keeps calling me because my account is overdrawn, and I have no money to put in it. For some reason there is some new fee they have implemented. I think it is $5 everyday it is overdrawn. I think I will be doing some screaming about that tomorrow. I might even cancel my bloody account there if they keep pulling this shit.
This is all the shit that has to run through my head while I sit here, writing my resume, applying for work, looking for a place to live out there, with no money to get the place with until it comes. I am tired. And I can't wait to see him again.
Ugh, and stuff.
