Default Sigh, here we go again

*Sigh*.

I know the recession is hitting everyone, but I'm digging my trench even deeper than normal.

In a matter of days I'll have to say goodbye for a while for a couple of reasons.

One being that my home communications will be cut off due to lack of payment. I'll be lucky to use a computer at the library, if I have time.

The other reason is that I have to move. I can't afford to though. I have to go see an apartment in 2 hours, and I'll be lucky if I can secure it with a measly $200.

If I do get the apartment, I'll be offline for about a month, waiting for a computer donation. This one is screwed up, and I need a wireless connection at the new apartment(if I even get it). This crappy computer wont support a wireless card.

So, I don't know how long I'd be offline for. I've been trying desperately to raise the money I need for the apartment and to move, but none of my online ventures, nor online income has been enough.

Now I have someone graciously trying to raise funds for me, but it's not going so well.

Well, here's hoping that I still have an internet connection tomorrow and a little more raised then too.

And here's to trying to keep positive throughout the whole ordeal.

Sorry to hear about your good bye.

Isn't there any way that we can put together a fundraiser to help horselover? I, myself, thoroughly enjoy his posts.

Thanks. I don't know how to deal with this quickly enough, as it takes days for money to transfer to my bank account.

I've got $100 heading out and should be in the bank next week.

We are definitely moving, secured the apartment last night. It's smaller than it looks in the pictures that I'd seen, but it's still doable. We just have to get rid of almost everything we have, and possibly use the living room as our bedroom, lol.

It's extremely quiet and very warm, a drastic change from what I'm used to, so I'm pleased.

A 10 minute drive from my boss's house, so that's even better, I save a 70km round trip and 2 hours a day in travel.

I'm hoping things work out, so far we're still keeping our home communications and we're happy about that.

The new place has satellite and internet included. So that's a bonus.

I hope things work well, and I'm praying every night that it does.

Well so far so good, still have home connections, and we're definitely moving.

Grin and bear it, we're on welfare for a while, and that will help us with the move.

That $100 came in quickly, and now I'm waiting for another $132 to transfer over to the bank.

I may make a quick $100 tomorrow, not sure though and wont find out until later on this morning. It would help though.

Still trying to find movers that will work cheap, it's not easy to find though.

If somehow I have enough money, I'll be buying a laptop(wifi) so I can get online, as it doesn't look like the donation will be coming in anytime soon.

Don't recall if I updated anything anywhere since that post on the 27th, but if not, here's an update.

We did move, on Wednesday, and so far so good. We're financially tapped out again, but have our bills taken care of for now.

I should be working tomorrow, so that's a good thing.

How is it going Horselover? have you settled in properly now? Hope the financial situation has improved a little since your last post!

Did you ever get paid by that online thing you were doing a while back?

We're still floundering, barely keeping afloat, but we're trying.

We're switching next month from Satelite to cable, not sure what the internet will be though.

I still need to come up with $1900 for rent and other bills, I'm so sick of bills.

Work will be plentiful next month, and I can't wait until then.

Online work has been lacking as well, but I'm still searching.
