A Month of Blogs Bonus Prompt (Today)

Today I'm tired as heck, as I slept very little last night. I have a lot on my mind, and the chronic insomnia is kicking in the last while. I've has insomnia since I was 10 years old, and it full on sucks.

There is a heat advisory as it's going to top out at 34C - and that is rather hot. There is also an air quality advisory with smoke being thick in the air from wildfires. It's not a good day to be outside. I can smell the smoke in my apartment, so it must be terrible outside. I wanted to walk to the park, but I think I'll wait for another day.

I'm a bit to scattered for a decent movie, so I'm going to put on some fluff that won't make me need to think too much.

I've done a tone of puzzles in the very early hours of the day, and I might do some more later on, but I'm not sure, I'm just not feeling it right now. I may end up just listening to a lot of music today.

I'm also hoping someone will FINALLY contact me about a matter I need resolving. It's been a while and there is no call from anyone or email or letter in the mail. I'm kind of tired of dealing with this kind of thing, but it's out of my control, so I have to just deal with it.

The pain level is up, but not very up, it's a 7 I'd say. My chronic fatigue syndrome is much worse the last two days, so I'm dragging my but to say the least, and It's a great effort to even sit here and type this out. I want to get some stuff done in the apartment, but I don't think I'll be able to do that. I need to rest as I literally will run out of energy and that can be dangerous if you push it too far.

It's not the best day I've had, but It's also better than other days, so I will count my blessings and roll with it.

Saskatchewan Assured Income for Disability (SAID) And Why I Almost Died Last Night

Image
Saskatchewan Assured Income for Disability (SAID) is the program that is supposed to be helping me as a disabled person to survive. Yesterday (Aug 29, 2024) I was supposed to get paid by them directly into my bank account. It never showed up and I have literally no idea on earth why this is happening to me. I emailed the minster of social services and asked them to get someone to call me and explain so I can fix this. This was at 3 AM give or take and  I got a reply that someone would phone me. Well, no one phoned me yesterday and right not it's 10:45 am and no call at all from them. I have no idea if I'm cut off and facing homelessness or I just need to give them some information they want to continue my benefits. Meanwhile, I have 21 cents in the bank and a maxed out credit card. I can't buy food to feed myself, and no one in the government gives a darn about this at all. We are faceless numbers to manipulate to them and nothing else. Don't fool yourself, the governme

I Rarely Get What I Want, But I Always Get What I Need (AKA I'm Blessed)

Image
Well I am going to be VERY broke next month (Sep 2024). So on a video on YouTube I asked if anyone would like to help me out and get 3 items from my Amazon Wishlist. Well so far, no takers on that. But I did not expect there would be. The people who are usually generous are broke as hell right now. So I though, I guess next month I don't have all my supplements and enough coffee for the month. Then along comes the power of the creator it seems - as it always does. I get an email and it's the organization I do surveys for. Well I needed 40 points to get to the threshold of 2500 and be able to get a $25 Amazon gift card. Well they will give me 60 points for a 5 minute survey. So I fill it out and I check my account and, yup, I got enough points. I submit the request to cash them in. Now, here is the good part. Normally it takes about a week to get back from them that you can go ahead and pick a gift card. Well, this time it was 2 hours (give or take a few minutes). So I went and

A Good Day For a Change (AKA Coffee Outing)

Image
The usual Thursday event yesterday, we went out on the north service road for coffee. It's a truck stop, but it's a big sized restaurant. I don't go out there any other day or time, so I don't have any idea if it has a time when there are a lot of people in it. But when we go, there is almost no one else in there. I have to say $3.85 for a Pop (Pepsi) is nuts, but coffee is the same price, and their coffee makes me ill - everyone else is fine with it, just not me. However the pop only gets one refill, not unlimited like the coffee does. I'll talk about the strange bill below. In any event, there was a new face at coffee when I got there. I'd met the fellow before, and he is nice to talk to. The one guy who has been going for years has not been there the last 2 times, and I'm totally OK with this. He was super aggressive, and very rude the last time he was there. We let him know this is NOT acceptable behavior at all. I think he needs a medication review if
