30 Days in the Hole

 I doubt that I can pull off a Grays Anatomy and give every episode a song title...

Desperate measures.  I finally decided that my only option here is to take out a loan so I tried today AND I WAS DENIED.  I'm just stunned.  Lost.  Every time I have mentioned it to Jami for the last 3 months she has said not to worry,  that she can fix it,  but then it has been just nothing.  She hasn't even been able to pay her way here. I thought she really had an idea that might work a couple of times.  When she said she was doing that Phrendly thing I actually told everyone that Jami had a solution.  When she said she had valuable things she was selling to pay the MUD bill I actually told everyone Jami had a way to fix it. I don't say anything now.  None of her big plans for Tomorrow have been anything.  I have No One to save us. Except Jeanette. Maybe Jeanette could but Jami and her basement full of stuff blocks that.  Right now. I may have to change that. I've told her to get rid of everything and get ready to have a bed in my room so I can rent Jeanette the basement but, so far, Jami is still bringing more and more stuff in this house and has even had us feeding an extra person again. She'll take 2 cups of coffee down in the morning and extra food down to the basement. She says we need to have a meeting about the thermostat settings saying that costs too much money while she has us housing and feeding her friend Mike.  Always someone bring secretly housed back to having people sneak in and out thru the window of her room like a teenager pulling off shit at the last house. She can't ever be confronted because it's just deny deny deny and gets more ugly that it is worth. Probably intentionally?? I don't know. 

I just know ALL OF THESE GAMES HAVE TO STOP.  AND, moving Jeanette in has become my only option if she will do it. Phillip has mentioned it,  too.  I worry a LOT about combining households with them,  they are still Newlyweds!! but they might need it, too,  but a lot world need to be done to become Baby Ready. I would seal off the living room and make it a little room for them. Might have to do that to give Jeanette decent space,  too. This basement is so trashed!!! The photos of it before we moved in just make me want to cry!!!  At least the space Dave was using is fairly cleared.  I give him credit for that.  Zero for laying down there,  fiddling while Rome burned.

I just asked Jami if she really has a plan to save us.  She said that she alrady told me. I asked her to remind me and she said,  "With my disability!" That ofen has been declared all year.  DHHS says she hasn't even really filled.  She swears she has but I Know that can take years even if she did.   I remember now,  she has been saying that she will get it right away because of her deaf ear,  which could still take as long as any,  and I think she did say something about it not being a viable plan if she doesn't qualify for the cochlear implant.  

I have 1300 car insurance,  1100 MID, 1300 house tax,  and 900 house insurance ALL OVER DUE TO BE CANCELLED ANY DAY. PLUS repairing or replacing Kira's car. House repair and upkeep. And just living expense while I do all of that.  Nova and Gabby desperately need shots and Novs needs groomed. (Must have shots first!) I just had to spend $50 on their flea treatments because Jami forgot to treat her cat when the rest of the animals were treated.  She treated Gregory 2 weeks too late and her fleas came upstairs to the pets up here.  My car tags expired last April and I've needed an oil change for Months and there is an issue with spark plug #2 and probably that ignition coil,  too, things that had needed done for almost a year. Oh, and the van needs a new universal joint before I ruin this new transmission.  These are all things that should have been done YESTERDAY. I told Jami and Dave all of this at the beginning of summer.  Dave gave me $70. Jami buys a few things with her food stamps.  I've asked her to use hers to have pork or something on hand because Jess had to cook a lot of chicken meals - it's the cheapest meat! Jami acts offended when Jess keeps making chicken.  We would love to have beef more!! But even cheap hamburger is now  $5 to $6 a pound!! With Jess getting about $250 and me getting $140 in food stamps I really don't know how we eat all month!! Wait.  Yes I do. I have to spend cash for food at the end of the month.  I know Jami must get about the same as Jess but it never seems like she contributes nearly as much as Jess. Does she still get food stamps?? I have no idea.  I know she has no income. I think she has guys buy her cigarettes sometimes,  maybe give her some money.  Sometimes she says Hupp or Toby pay her for helping them.  But No. She is not going to save us except by making room for me to move in people who can and will pay rent.
