New Apartment

Me and my niece got moved into our new apartment finally. We don't have any furniture in our living room to sit on yet. We have every thing else we need though. We will not be getting our Internet hooked up until next Wednesday though, so I will not be able to post again until then.
The good thing is that the weather for the past 2 days has been beautiful. The sun has been shining and the temperature has been mild. I can't wait for spring. This winter has been so bad. I know people who live in the north would probably laugh. But I get cold easy. I freeze when my niece is complaining of being too hot. I moved down to Kentucky to get away from bad winters. It worked pretty well until this winter. The Lupus has been doing something freaky. My feet , and especially my toes get really cold. Sometimes i have to put on anywhere from 2-7 pairs of socks on. My dad and step-mom brought me an electric blanket yesterday. That helps at night.

Apartment

My back hurts and I feel crappy today. It may take a few more days to get the apartment. See, I have custody of one of my nieces. Her mother, my sister, got child support awarded to her by court order in the state of Indiana. After I got custody in
the state of Kentucky, I had to go to Indiana to the judge who issued the original support order to get it changed into my name. They didn't give me any document showing that I get child support, because they sent checks every week with receipts. Those were sufficient to show at the food stamp medicaid office in Kentucky. Then the state of Indiana went to debit cards for child support and unemployment. And I didn't think anything about it. Now all I have is that card and the number on the back to call to check my balance. Well, the apartment manager has to have proof of my income, and right now, that's all I've got. 75.00 a week. But I don't have any proof, nothing to show I get it. So the manager called the court clerk yesterday in Indiana where the support was awarded to my sister to try and get something. He called and left a message on the machine here saying it could take as much as a week to get it, and he can't give me a key and let me move in until he has proof of my income. I have my custody papers but that's not enough. Tell you what, I'll be getting me a copy of that paper when he finally gets it and keeping it for my records, because the food stamp office has been asking for it too.

What time is it when the clock chimes 13?
Time to fix the clock?

Groundhog DAy

I was supposed to write yesterday but I couldn't because I was looking at a subsidized apartment. Turns out it took even longer today to go through the paperwork, but since I am living with my Dad and stepmom right now I have to get my computer time when its available.
Question: Doesn't the sun have to be shining in order for there to be a shadow? They said on the radio that the groundhog saw his shadow today so there would be 6 more weeks of winter. I don't know where the groundhog was, but he sure wasn't anywhere around me. I'm in Allons Tennessee, and we had snow over the weekend, and rain today. The fog was so thick that when I was coming home I passed up my road I was supposed to turn on. There was no sun shining here.
So, are you ready for 6 more weeks of winter? I'm sure not. I hate winter!!!!! Besides the fact that it makes me feel worse, I don't like driving in snow and on ice. I know how; I came from Indiana. I just don't like to. In fact, I would like to move a little farther south than what I am right now. If I do, though, I'll have to wait until circumstances allow. I'll write more on my situation when I am in my apartment and can spend more time typing. I don't type very fast right now.

Why doesn't a crow ever get hit by a car?
Because there's another crow saying, "Caw! Caw!"LOL

For what its worth to you, HAPPY GROUNDHOG DAY!
