Job applications, mom gave me dryer :), job applications in Misadventures of West Virginia Woman

Ollies the store gave me a whole 10 hours for next week. They are looking to hire more in order to cut hours more. I plan to put in job applications see who is interested in me. Surely i can find a job who gives me enough hours to afford my bills. I am to the point i am debating whether signing up for foodstamps is a good idea. I been having a hard time affording food to get by. We try not to sign up unless we hit rock bottom. I need a better job i am tired of going without.

My mom called to inform me she bought herself a dryer at a yard sale and offered to give me her old one. That is a great relief to me considering mine is broke and we been hanging our clothes up to dry for several months. Most people probably wonder why didnt i buy a dryer.. Um no money!

Ollies was selling dryers, washers, fridges and freezers 75% off my boss mentioned i should get one because he heard me mention previously mine is tore up. I casually mention in order to afford it Ollies would need to give me more hours to afford it. My boss rolled his eyes said credit card? I smiled and told him if i cant afford it i go without. I dont have any credit cards.. Do people use credit a lot? My parents taught me not to. I could get one but i would rather not. I don’t intentionally create more bills i cant afford to pay.

I often dream of owning property but i know i cant afford it. I rent my lot. Rent is cheap i am grateful. I hope someday hope to live in an off grid home with solar panels and a garden. My husband sees it as to much effort. I say anything worth anything must take work.

My ankle still hurts where i fell. I still walk on it. It is against my beliefs to call into work if i can prevent it. I am having miserable pms and bad mood swings. I have been avoiding people i have an increased likelihood of cussing out. I get irritable easily during this time so i stay by myself.

I am going take a nap start putting out job applications again. I hate a job that cuts hours. They know you cant afford to feed yourself and smile and say hey it’s only business. I know they are there for only the business no wonder why so many quit. Starving is not a way to live.
