So Exciting! (but still nerdy)

Husband has just finished reading the 5th book in the Song of Ice and Fire series....OH MY GOSH!!!! He told me the ending, because it wouldn't ruin the rest of the book (I'm only around page 390 something, I really need to get on that) I am just so pumped up to read right now! But I'd have to sit still long enough to get anything read...and that's a problem for me lately.

In other news, heartburn is a bi**h....I hate it, I need some papaya, I've been told that helps. But alas, no money, still so hopefully soon we will get some relief. I should have my unemployment card by Monday, and Tuesday I should have my first payment on there. I've also heard the post office will be hiring soon, in the next couple months. And that is awesome, I've been looking for data entry jobs, and that is perfect for me. I just have to take a written test and then they do the typing test, and lord knows I type fast enough for that, at my peak I was up to 90 words per minute. But I need to find a typing program again, I need to work on my 10 key skills, they're atrocious.

Went to Twist tonight, and had a wonderful time, I swear it's one of my favorite places to just *be* plus the talk was good, and people were pleasant to hang around.

Ouch

As I type, my phone is next to me with the speaker on and I'm waiting to talk to the unemployment people about when they will be sending my card out so we can actually get some money...cause lord knows we have no money right now. We're also going (as soon as Husband gets out of the shower) to the SRS building to file for Healthwave (the state insurance) and food stamps, plus WIC if we can do that there, otherwise I'll be filing for that online when we get home.
All in all a fun day of begging the government for money, I just hope they take us in this time...cause we're really freaking broke.
In other news, we had a wonderful and I mean fan-freaking-tastic weekend. Got to see a special friend, had fun talking to Roommate when she was home, and Husband and I got some quality time together doing nerdy things. Speaking of nerdy things: Actually...nerdy things will be put in a different post, cause there's a lot there...
So today's gonna be pretty full, and oh so much fun, but I'm sincerely hoping everything goes well and according to plan...and that I'm not on hold over an hour, so far it's been, okay it's only been 15 minutes, and that's not horrible yet, Husband was on the phone 45 minutes last time....anywho, I'll talk about nerdy stuff in another post and update about how things went today later.

*Edit* after call a total of 5 times, being hung up on 3 times and dropping the phone once, I was on the phone for a total of almost 3 hours. Finally the 5th time I called in less than 5 minutes I had gotten to talk to a person, changed my address and will get my card by Monday at the latest....
Food stamps we're having to gather information for them from both our jobs, and then after that we will be able to find out within 30 days, I hate the wait, but hopefully we'll qualify this time, cause we really need the food stamps and the health insurance for sure...I can only pray that we make it.

Well, some good news, and some indifferent news

Good news--I was finally convinced by Husband to call the unemployment people because I have had no hours from work for the last three weeks, and *fanfare please* I qualify!!! So very happy day for us! I'll get to start filing on Sunday, but I need to call them tomorrow because the first time I got unemployment, when it was finished I shredded my card...so I need to make sure they're going to send me a new one. I was just so stunned and excited that I was able to get unemployment that I forgot to talk to them about it then.
Indifferent news-- we didn't end up going to the church Sunday, we're going to try for their Saturday night service (especially since we can't afford to go to the monthly get together) but we did make it out to the grandparents for a nice family dinner, and then out to my parents for a little visit (Fun fact, my parents have been married for 30 years as of today!) and when we went to visit, mom gave me my very own bread machine! I'm quite excited, I can't wait till we have some extra money so I can buy supplies and start making our own bread.
Well Husband and I got a fair amount of cleaning done in the baby room/study. Still haven't found out anything about a crib, Husband has someone he needs to call tomorrow that gut be able to get us a free one, which would just be the bee's knees, but we got much more organized. And that makes me feel much better.
Loki is moving right on time tonight, doing summersaults in my belly, kicking my bladder as she rolls around. it still feels very odd, but I do enjoy knowing she's still moving around. Plus it's really nice to know she's a girl...
