Until such a time as we get to some place that has 'net, or access to it, I am off line.. I am at the library at the moment, and limited time at that... Right now, we don't know how much longer we are going to be where we are at, money is the main issue, as it seems that getting a job around the place we are at, is and can take up to a month or more ~RME~ We are "safe" for the current week...
Also, I would like to ask all of my family to add to their thoughts and prayers my dad.. Ray was informed over the phone that my dad has a cyst or something on either his liver or kidney, as my mom wasn't fully coherant about it all.. I still think they don't like to tell me everything as they see me as too young to understand what is going on... ~growls~ I may be the youngest, but... ~sighs~
Going back to Cali isn't going to happen, unless we hit the jackpot, then we don't have to worry about where we live, as the job market out there is really bad, and the trucking company that my parents have been adament about us going to, is currently not taking on any more students, as they are having issues getting enough work for the current class going through and those who just graduated... my niece is one of those not getting work, so that's out of the question, and that is the only way they would have us come back...
I am going to head out, as I said, time is short, and I am surrounded by children and young teens... ~RME~ I really can't wait to get back, as the only things we have been doing is sleeping, watching tv, or playing mindless games on hubby's computer... ~sighs~
Love to you all, if any want my phone number, contact Shoko, as she has access to it... will leave her a note on her phone to tell her it's okay, if she doesn't see this note first...

Hey hon-- you and your family are in my prayers. Do what you need to do to take care of things-- that's the most important thing. We love you, miss you, and want the best for you. Fingers crossed, something comes up soon in the way of work. Will say a prayer-- or fifty, whatever it takes. *W* Love ya! -Hugs-
-
Hang in there sis *Huggers* :'( :'( :-* :-* :-*
-
sends you good thoughts and wishes Mistress...take care
-
Am at the library again, not for long this time either... Nothing on the job front, though we aren't going to stop looking... We got a little bit of help from one of the nearby churches for two days rent on the motel room, but after Wednesday morning, if nothing comes in, we are on the streets... Though something has come about all this stress, I have lost nearly 30 lbs in the past month.. ~wry look~ Will keep in touch with Shoko and kiah as much as possible...
-
my thoughts are with You, Mistresss
-
sighs and hugs you tightly... Mistress.. if good thoughts were money you'd be rich now.. please know my prayers are with you and my heart hurts that i can't be of help to you and yours...i don't know where you live.. but if i could help i would... please take care... i don't know about your area.. but here there are work force groups.. that pick you up take you to differing jobs and bring you back.. and pay daily... this maybe something to look into...
-
Keep the faith honey. Things will turn around. I love you, as do we all. Sinn hit the nail on the head-- work force might be something to check into on a short term basis. It would at least get you through until something more permanent comes along.

Look into LaborReady too...

Okay a little update on what is going on with us... A week ago saturday, we had a 24-ft trailer literally dropped into our laps... It needs a little TLC, but it's in overall excellent condition... Right now we are staying on a friend's property, it's an old abandoned chicken farm, and as Shoko can tell you, as I have told her a few times, the spiders that are living up against those torn apart chicken house walls are HUGE, but they are beautiful, from a distance... ~laughs~ We have a generator for power, for the time being, maybe running water by the end of the week, but not sure on that... but we can't beat the cost, which is nothing...
Though either at the beginning of September or the middle of that month, we will be moving to a park, as by then, it will have gotten a bit cooler, and the one's who put us on the property, are afraid we are going to freeze to death out there, without any heat, as that is one of the things we have to replace, the furnace...
With all things considered, we are doing really well, found a whole new cache of friends that stem from the good housemate in the old place, as it's his family, and they have been allowing us to come over and use their shower and laundry room, along with feeding us, though that last part makes Ray and I squirm, as we feel like we are overstepping our welcome, though we have both been told that won't happen, and at least we aren't like the one idiot who has done so, and still won't leave... ~chuckles~
I had an interesting birthday, thank you all for the good wishes, those gave me a smile, after the news I got told by my mom and sister, nothing bad, just that my sister got herself a new, well almost new Harley... And a few other things we said to me, to the point that from now on, this year was my last year to have a birthday... ~smirks~
I am at the library, and we are about to head out, I just wanted to drop a line to you all, and maybe soon we will have net, though I am not sure about that right now, at least the generator has lots of power to run the computer, and a few other things for at least 13 hours, gotta love 5000W generators, that friends hand over to you, and don't expect anything but to make sure that it stays running... ~laughs~
I will talk to you all soon, I miss you all muchly....

Well, a new update, we aren't on the chicken farm anymore, had the "REAL" owner show up and not be happy that her son is allowing everyone and anyone off the streets to come onto "HER" property and stay on it.. ~RME~ Seems she doesn't even own it anymore, it's going to be auctioned off by the state, since it is in foreclosure... ~chuckles~
Anyways, we are now on someone else's land, we originally thought it was the sweet and lonely old man's property, but it seems that wasn't so... ~sighs~ Have met his soon to be ex-wife, and she was relieved we were there, as then her soon to be ex-husband wouldn't try anything stupid like, oh, setting the rest of the property on fire... See, the house they shared, is being demo'd next week or the week after, as it has been gutted by a fire, back in February... Though right now, and possibly until they come and tear down the house, we have a place to stay, after that, we aren't sure... The old man got into it with Ray yesterday afternoon when he didn't get his way, and threw a temper tantrum that included calling the state troopers on us... When they saw where he was living, found out from two other people, not only his wife, that he was NOT supposed to be living there, they ask him if he needed to be seen by a doctor at the hospital and said yes, and left with the paramedics willingly, as he was thinking he would be out in 15 mins... ~snorts~ Not with Adult Protection Services and the Mental Health people coming in right behind him...
Basically, this old man, he's 78 years old, brilliant until he goes off his medications, for his bi-polar, diabetes, and high blood pressure.. As far as we can tell, between us, his ex-wife, his POA (Power of Attorney), and his LOOOOOOONG health history, he has probably been off his meds since before the fire started, and we all are pretty sure he set the fire that burned down the house... I hated doing this, as did Ray, but it was to the point that he was willing to eat something that had been sitting outside for nearly 3 days, with raw bacon in it, not realizing that there had been no heat set to it since before he started making this "stew", I couldn't take it anymore, and well Ray couldn't go near him without this guy telling him to get away, Devil, and everything else that was related to Satan... ~sighs softly~
It's been a trying week, but now he's in a place he will get the help he needs, they were shocked that he was out, since he apparently was supposed to be in a home under survillance back in May, but he disappeared, which I can attest to, he's really really good at... We are just happy it happened now, since his mania was slipping him into a deeper dementia and things would have just gotten worse, not better in the end... ~smiles softly~
I don't know when I will be around again, right now, we are scrambling to find a place that will allow us to bring the trailer into the site, as it has some issues that they want working before they will let us in... ~grumbles~ So for now, were we are at, is fine, we have the POA's permission, along with the co-owner and neighbors...
Rags, I will try and give you a call soon and tell you what is going on and to discuss a few things... Take care, my family, you are loved and missed muchly... ~looks around one last time as I blow kisses in all directions, as I poof into the shadows once more~

:-* ;)

-Hugs you muchly-
Hang in there, honey. Things will start to look up soon. You're loved!

We are still on the property, though the soon to be ex-wife's attorney says we shouldn't be there, she doesn't want us to end up in a shelter when we have a trailer, so we are safe for now... We are hoping that by the end of the week we will have some idea where we can go with the trailer, as I really want the one place that will cost just over $300 a month, which includes septic, water and electric, the only thing we would have to get is cable/satellite and phone... those last two aren't an issue right now, getting a place to go is... ~sighs~
Right now we don't even have electricity, as the generator we were using has been taken away for a job site, so for right now, we are living rather primatively... ~snickers~ Though wood fires make hot dogs taste that much better, just have to get the stove working in the trailer, and we are set, for anything more than hot dogs...
I am off to the wonderful world of calls, as I have to try and get an appointment for my pain management doc, as there was an "oops" on friday, as they closed 2 1/2 hours before my scheduled appointment, so we are just waiting for the phone lines at their new office to get straightened out and then I can get an appt... I am rambling, due to stress levels being ultra high, due to other things going on, that we aren't sure we are going to be able to fix... And no, still no work for Ray, at least not yet, we are going to pester them down at that one place until they give in and hire him... ~snorts~ but until then, we are stuck in a slowly sinking boat... At least I haven't decided to go run out in traffic, though where we are, there really is no traffic to play in.. ~pouts~
Love to all... ~slips out into the mundane world of stress and more stress, explodes into a ball of fire~
-
at least Your sense of humor (grim as it may be).. is it tack ~ss~
it seems that all good things come with the price tag of new hassles..
slowly, but with certainity.. things will get better.. but like all roads
the way may be slow at times..
he will keep You and Yours in his thoughts and prayers, Mistress
-
Keep swinging sis. Bound to get a hit eventually.

Just another update, we are getting ready for Hanna, the only thing we are missing for her surprise BBQ tonight and tomorrow afternoon is kites... ~snicker snorts~ This is going to be an interesting storm, as they are predicting winds to be like it was back in May, and some of you know how much fun that was while we were still living in the house, just imagine that in a 24' trailer... ~snorts~ If any hear about a trailer in MIlford, DE area flying about as Hanna comes in, that's more than likely us, or the trailer, as we are thinking about partying and welcoming this wonderful woman into the greatest state in the US... ~wry smirk, wipes off the sarcasm from everyone's screen and ducks~ Sorry, forgot the warning on that...
Anyway, when we can get back on line, via the library, I will update all, or send a message through Shoko... the winds are already gusting up in the low 30's, and she's just about to hit the bottom of the Virginia Peninsula, and should be here by midnight or sooner... ~heads off to find other ways of battening down the hatches~
-
cross fingers.. and helps to souble knot those battens
-
Hold on tight and stay safe!!!
-
*ears perk*
If you are gonna fly that trailer around, could you land it somewhere particular?? sayyyyyyyyyy.. ohhhhhhh..
like Dorothy did to my bosses sister?? LOL
*looks at my mini-me anc cracks uP*
-
prism, I will try my hardest, but so far, it's only shaken a bit... We were odd and went out driving in it today, but it was either get out of that clausterphobic place, or kill each other... ~snorts~ Besides, we have a date with a nice hot shower in a few hours... ~grins~ and I do believe there is a bottle of tequila and jagermeister calling my name there as well...
-
Survived Hanna... I might be sooner than I thought to be able to come in and play, though it's mostly going to be on Friday and Saturday nights as that is the only time this place is open til 11pm.. otherwise, I will just pop in when I can...
-
things seem to be getting better.. he hopes the room behaves and stays up when You can get in Mistress
-
glad to see you ok, and hope to see you soon
-
Right now we have access to wi-fi and as long as the area I am sitting in isn't needed, meaning the brats who play Halo 3 on the Xbox 360... but right now, I have full use of the area.. ~grins wickedly~ I won't be in tonight, but friday and saturday is definitely a go...

I completely forgot to post the update on my father... Seems that it's just a normal everyday cyst, nothing serious, as they waited, and wondered why the doctors were allowing it to take so long to get the test results, was that they weren't very worried... ~RME~ They are going to just let it go, instead of trying to drain it, which would be extremely painful, and not needed... So, it's not cancer, and that is what my greatest fear was... His kidneys are working fine, in fact, he is in excellent health, which is wonderful, as my father turns 78 next month... We already know his family lives a long time, at least his sisters are still going strong, and their oldest sister who just went through her second 'bout of cancer is going strong and in remission, and she's in her 80s.. ~smiles~
Just wanted to give you all an update... my thanks for the thoughts and well wishes...
