I'm so close. I really need to pay my rent tonight. Also I'm waiting on shipping boxes to get here so I can ship off paintings. I don't know why it's taking so long. The post office usually gets it here faster than this.

I can't drive. In between all this I try and do art and beading to make some kind of income because SSI thinks I can live on $95 a month. Whatever I get helps me get what I need that insurance won't cover and whatever bills need covered. If I could work a regular job I would in a heartbeat but no one wants someone like me. Why would anyone hire someone who needs a ton of accommodations to maybe work 2 hours a day. So I do the best I can. This is my life now.

Being disabled is my full time job. I'm at a dr office once or twice a week, sometimes 3. I wake up every day and even though I'm awake it takes me at least an hour to get out of bed. I have a lot of joint and muscle issues. Depending on my energy level I may or may not get much done. I do self care, which varies depending on energy. I have to elevate my legs a lot because of lymphedema and diabetes. I have to take breaks every 20 to 30 min. Some days I am down all day. I need aids to walk.

I am so tired from staying up so late due to my low sugars. Basically spent most of the day taking various naps to function. That and my daughters car broke down in my driveway. Going to be like 300 for her to get it fixed. She spent all her extra money on her apartment deposit and a new car battery. She's stressing and in turn stressing us all out. No one can help her. It's just perfect timing cause she's in the middle of moving out. It's all just frustrating.

RE: https://mastodon.art/@mahtheyzhawey/116562517052327724 Boosting this. Trying to reach my goal so I can buy medical supplies and equipment my insurance won't cover. I need compression garments and certain aids for home for physical and occupational therapy exercises. Raised 260/1500 so far. Anything is appreciated. 🤞🏾❤️

Wound care went well. Everything is fine. I'm still paranoid about any small paper cut but I'm good. Daughter finally found her own place. She's doing better. I'm tired. This heat is wrecking my regulation. I am however back to beading. The occupational therapy is working. Overall I'm doing much better than I was.

Electric company says I still owe them 130. Wont let me make an arrangement. 😮‍💨

Starting week 2 being in hospital. Looks like I'll be able to get the wheelchair and some other things through insurance. However I need a ramp to even get into my house and that is not covered. They aren't cheap either. I hopefully can either raise enough or make some sales to get one along with just funds to pay rent since I've been in here so long and so often it's been difficult to work on stuff. Say some prayers and keeping fingers crossed.

RE: @mahtheyzhawey@mastodon.art

Well I won't be getting that payment for another month apparently. I need to pay my wifi and water bills which are due tomorrow. $250 should cover them. I was hoping to use that payment to pay these but now that's not going to happen. I also have updated my shop recently. Any help is appreciated. ❤️❤️
