A power surge took my computer out a couple days ago and we won't be able to repair or buy a new one for weeks!!!
We found out about an hour before it died that Social Security had sent us forms to fill out...but we don't receive mail here in Colombia and didn't receive them. Well....since they didn't get them back from us - they've suspended our benefits...which is half of what we live on!
So...we have to conserve the money we have for incientals like eating and electric and that kind of mundane thing.
I hate it, because I love my online community and will be out of commission for a few weeks...possibly months from what the SS office told us.
I'm staying positive and will use this time to make art. LoTs of art.
I already miss you SO much!!!
Create Your Life,
annie!
