Good news, better news and GREAT news
My electrician was telling me about this elderly woman he knew that was in a terrible place. She was renting a room from a lady who's son also lived in the same house. Well, he and his friends are junkies and apparently these people were robbing this woman blind. She couldn't even go to the bathroom without them stealing her wallet and even though she would put her medication (she has terrible arthritis and has to use a walker and she takes pain medication) in her pajama pockets she would wake up in the middle of the night with someone trying to take her medication OUT OF HER PAJAMA POCKETS. I just couldn't stomach that so I moved her into my house. The first thing she did was lay on her bed and sleep for about 14 hours. When she woke up she looked so much better, it made me feel good that I was able to make such a difference that she would feel so comfortable in my home she could actually sleep.
Now I have 3 adults who are helping me with the bills. It's a bit tight (four adults in a three bedroom house) but we will work it out. My daughter was supposed to move out at the end of the month but she can't get into her new apartment for some time (she's on a waiting list) so I told her if she wanted to stay here she had to pay me rent and she agreed. So getting help with the bills is the good news.
The better news is that I have been approved to receive a scholarship!! I don't know yet how much the scholarship will pay but anything is going to be welcome!! I just enrolled for my first classes that begin in June and I'm a bit excited about going back to school. It is a little overwhelming because the school is huge and it's not like it was in WA, where everyone I was going to school with were my age and even older. I will truly be one of the oldest students in my classes this time but I'm not going to let that get to me. I will try to use it to my advantage.
And the GREAT news is that I will get to see the First Lady next week! I have been volunteering for President Obama and the lady I have been working with just called me to let me know she got me a ticket to go see Mrs. Obama. I'm very excited....well, I don't know if I will get to meet her face to face (and me without a camera, darn it!!) but I will at least be able to see her speak in person and that is just as good to me. I have been volunteering with Women for Obama here in Las Vegas since I moved here. It keeps me busy but it also is important to me to re-elect the President (even more important now that we know who the GOP running against him is, don't get me started, HA!). I have never done anything like this before but I do enjoy it. Volunteering, at the very least, gets me out of the house once in awhile and boy, I NEED that sometimes!
No, I still don't have a job but now that I have enrolled in school I know what my schedule will be like and I am trying to get a job at the school (I've given them my resume, plus I'm on a waiting list for the work study program). I am still, however, going on interviews and putting my resume out there. I really think the fact that I was a Manager in my last job, that may be what is holding me back. So today I am going to redo my resume and just put that I was a cashier. It wouldn't be a lie, the only problem is when they ask me how much I made should I down play that too?? I think I should, then again, I think I should get some advice from someone first. Well, that's what I'm doing today. That and waiting for the AC man to come get my AC working, it's gonna be needed this weekend.
