Ok, ok, ok, so Frito, guess what? I got let go today. OMGosh I hated the job anyway and I was so scared when driving into some gang related areas(I actually cried my eyes out after I got to a safe area) I thank God I am alive. Anyway, I went to unemployment office and got papers to fill out. I would have done it there but in my anguish, I forgot to take along my purse with my ID. Duh! I went to the college area in the unemployment area. She told me to go to school at night or I would lose my unemployment benefits. I have an interview set up for a job on Thursday. I had been looking all along cause I hated this job and they called me last Friday, can you believe it. I hope your ok. I know it's tough. Right now there is not much out there, and what there is, ain't much. This little company had me doing the job of three sales people. I drove approximately 560 miles a week. I always felt like I was on a weekly trip to Ohio. Don't expect too much from these little companies. They are mostly wanna be's. Just take something and keep looking. Eventually you will land something decent. Hang in there. ChicagoBonnie.

I wanted to thank each one of you for all your kind words.
I am okay today. Saturday was rough. My son left for the day, so I was alone.
Today was productive in my own home. It needed a good cleaning in the nooks and cranny's. Rearranged my room and the living room. Must of run the vacum for hours.
I will go to the unemployment office in the next few days. I think you can also apply online?
Barb,
My dear, I can't thank you enough for your response while you are not feeling so well. I think you may have the wrong impression. I was not employed in the hospital, but a restaurant. I was a waitress. It was something I took because I had to make ends meet in this job atmosphere or lack there of. I haven't been employed in my field since 2007. Many reasons why. It took me that long to come to grips with just how I feel about it all. I could do it now since I have worked out some of my resentment and fears.
Unfortunately, I still remain unemployed because I have still have that damned lesion right on my forehead. The question is always "am I contagious", and I never mention morgellons to any of them. I have endured quite a bit of scarring and haven't found a good excuse to cover that avenue. I have nothing on paper to back up my claims.
All.
Again, I am okay today. Its the fear of not being able to provide. I will be homeless again next month if I can't find anything. I have enough saved to pay my rent coming the first and one months bills. I will have nothing left after.
If I don't think about that part, then I remain okay. I am trying to be positive. Getting together the necessary items to go hunting again.
Thank you.
Frito

Frito and I have cussed, discussed and re-discussed this situation, and until tonight I just didn't have the "heart" to post in this thread. Losing a job when you're the PROVIDER has to be beyond terrifying. I suppose like other life-altering events, the outcome is based in part on how you, me, we, handle the situation. Right now I'm not handling anything too well, so I have relied on my friends at Google to provide some sunlight on this dark and dismal subject. I'm not a Polyanna, so it's not possible for me to say when life hands you lemons make lemonade....That just ain't me, but I do know there are many strong people here Frito, and they're cheering you, C.B. and every single one of us on. They're praying, cheering, sending us love and making sure that when we're down and out someone will be here to jerk us back to our feet and force us to hold our head up and keep trudging whether we want to, think we can't, and would prefer to just go to bed and cover up our head. We all know we can't do the latter no matter how tempting it is. So, to each of you, thanks for the hugs, the tender words and the kick in the butt as needed. You're all the greatest. Frito, here's a few tips from our helpful friends at Google: www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/article-29761.htmlLosing a Job: Ten Things You Can Do to Make It Less Painful www.first30days.com/losing-your-jobLosing Your Job Get our very best tips about Losing Your Job daily for 30 days.

If there's anything at all I can do to help you frito all you have to do is ask. I don't have much money being on SSI but I'd be more than happy to send you a little cash to help you thru. I can't bear the thought of you being homeless, so PLEASE just send me your address ok? Also... get to the unemployment ofc. cuz that should see you thru until you can find a job!
I love you ~~ bannanny

Frito, before i go to bed tonight, I am going to ask God to give you the desires of your heart. I am so sorry that you might be homeless. However, I know God will take care of you. I wish I could help you. There are some great programs out there. Can you go to the township in your area? They can help you with money. Another thing, and I hate to say this but it will take your landlord 3 months to evict you. Hang in there. Can you get more work? I am praying for more work for you.
Dear Jesus, please be merciful to Frito and give her good courage, and give her strength. She needs you and she needs your love. Be to her like a big teddy bear and wrap your loving arms around her. I know she is sick with worry. Please God help her and give her a way to pay her rent and give her a way to have food on her table and gas in her car. Please Lord be merciful. We don't choose this path, it is heaped upon us and we are ill and we are weak and we need you to be our strong hold.
Help Frito get a job and give her a way to live. I ask that you Lord will expedite this in her life now and that she will not have to worry. I ask these things in your precious name, Jesus. Amen.
Good night Frito and I am praying for you each evening. Blessings to you my friend. We all love you. ChicagoBonnie
