i've been looking for work. i'm so broke. i'd be starving if it weren't for food stamps. i'm not really sure how i'm going to pay my bills.
i'm a little worried, yeah. but you can only do the best you can. there's not much more that i can do other than apply for work, because welfare or "temporary assistance for needy families" is a fucking joke. i tried to get some of that temporary assistance last summer and they told me that i would have to go to their "job training" thirty hours a week and find daycare for my daughter (and pay for it... they would pay some small part) and THEN they would give me 400 bucks a month which basically doesn't pay for anything except maybe the daycare. hahhaaa, thanks... yeah that sure would be a lot of help *scrunches face disapprovingly*
i'd like to sell some prints of my artwork at all of the many places and times that there is available to do that in portland but i can't even afford the initial investment. shit i'd like to sell the originals, most of them need either frames or some simple prepping that would take just a few minutes to be ready to mount. anyone want to buy a painting? how about a portrait? i could draw or paint portraits from pictures or from live peoples? maybe i should do that. just go to those places where i could sell my prints if i could afford to make them and then offer to do portraits?
today i am going to clean my apartment.
*sigh*
