It seems too long since my last post. I’ve been striving to find balance when the rest of the world is so imbalanced. I’ve not had much success.

Still, the union agreed upon a new contract offer and we all will get small raises. For me, every little bit will count. Today I had to cash my paycheck at the western union office so I could get money orders and after the fees were paid, I received six cents to live on for the next two weeks. Once upon a time that was enough to live off for a week.

No matter, I have beans and rice for the next few weeks. I can do my laundry at my dad’s boyfriend’s house and I can survive on nothing. I did it for a few months this spring; of course I had credit cards that weren’t maxed out then.

Anyway, it is late and I need to post this before I go to bed. Good night.
