Hi all,

Still here, never fear.

Well, Social Security..what can I say? I'm still in their computer as suspended, but, on paper I'm not. So, supposedly, I'll be issued with "emergency" checks, until the US Government's computers catch up to reality--which should be in a few decades, knowing them.

Okay, on to the National Grid bill. NY social services says they can indeed help me, but...I have to wait until I get a final notice. She agrees that National Grid are basta*rds, when it comes to loving to cut human beings off from life-giving heat (it's still winter here). I've NEVER been late with a payment for over a year. I'm 2 DAYS late, and wham! They cut me. "National Grid is a corporate terrorist", someone in the office said, one day. Now I belive it. Anyway, that's on hold for a bit.

And, I just got a notice that I must re-pay the $66.50 that I owe Social Security--they are famous for issuing checks, and then telling people weeks or months after the money has been spent, that the person wasn't actually entitled to it (even tho' the govt. initially said the person WAS entitled), and they expect IMMEDIATE repayment. Lovely. My net worth at the mo', is exactly 121.34. Guess I'll be doing my laundry in the kitchen sink, this week.

I'm still sick, and very tired and wrung out--but managing okay. Actually, I probably should be in hospital, but no way am I going to do that. Not on your life. I'm in enough financial hot water--and besides, who would look after my cats? No one, that's who. Was getting a bit hoarse on the phone today, but, I'm a horsey person, so that's okay I guess, ha-ha.

I'm not in a good mood, still very depressed. But...I'm trying. Sorry, that's the best I can say.

A friend sent me a couple of movies on DVD, and that helped to cheer me up, last night. (thank you).

Well, I suppose I should write notes to my friends, and then schlep on home to lunch.

Outside, the sky is gray, the grass is brown, the snow is white and the wind is raw. March in Glens Falls. Yee-haw.
