Update: I'm **STILL** waiting for the car funds to happen! NO vehicle and utilities due! [View all]

Well I got the damn car sold, but they made the check in HER name of course...left the check with her Saturday.

She emailed my lawyer today saying she had to open a new bank account and it would be NEXT WEEK before she can send me a check for my half! (which now is already SPENT...not to mention the lawyer upcharges now @ $2800!)

Found a car for 5000, dont know what tax and registration will be. AND It's in Sacramento, so I either need to figure out another rental to get there, or take the greyhound and uber to the dealership... I wish I had friends who would drive me there. But they have lives.

Owe about $600 in utilities, gonna call all fo them and ask for extentions...

My Acupuncturist was gonna give me her office space to start seeing clients, but I can't DRIVE to the damn office until I get a new car... Uber is like 40 or more...not feasible. So I'm using this week to continue to get my ducks in a roow. Get client forms ready, etc.

Gonna sell some more of her crap she bought with MY money Got an AC portable unti worth $400, probably sell for $300... Got some useless stuff but it can get me a few bucks cash in the meantime. Gonna have to do Instacart for groceries, unfortunately that always costs more.

I'm SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO tired of being patient and handling this "well"... I'm now struggling not to just be angry and defeated about everything...even though I know it's moving behind the scenes. ugh

Here's the Go Fund Me link - PLEASE share to your socials and tell other strangers I'm a good person who is just trying to get stable!
