Just me again...
I am a bit scared...
I have a letter waiting for me at the post office from the mortgage company which may mean they are foreclosing. I don't have anywhere to go and I'm not sure what I'll do if they are.
But I'm sure I'm not getting kicked out of here within days or anything, so at least there's that.
And I hope the post office lets me pick it up because it's addressed to Estate of [My Dad's Name] but I imagine they will.
(It's been there for a little bit but I thought it was addressed to my dad personally and I didn't realize it was for me. That was... not smart of me.)
I'm not sure what to do about the $500 I owe the hospital. They called me today and asked if I wanted to set up a payment plan, and I told them I still wanted to try to apply for financial aid. But I need stuff like paycheck stubs and my bank statements -- I don't even get paper statements and I don't have a printer so it will be a big deal to have to print them out.
Also as of this week, things look financially OK for me, because I'm not paying any rent and I'm still getting paid by my roommate. (Which I can't lie about because they'll have my bank statements.) About the only large expense I have is the utility bills, which I'll admit are pretty large. (Oh, and that's another thing I'd have to go print out and I'm not even sure how.)
I'm really tempted to just give them $500 and make the whole thing go away. But that is a huge chunk of my savings and I know I really shouldn't. The more savings I have, the longer I can afford a place to live.
Maybe I could set up a payment plan and apply for financial aid when my financial crash hits... but I'm not sure they'll allow that. And if I am going to pay it off I'm just going to pay it all because I do not want to pay interest.
I thought of appealing online for money, since people do that for medical bills and I really am in trouble, but I'm not sure I want it all over the public internet that I had to go the mental hospital. I mean, if someone really dug into my background they could find it out easily, but still. Plus I'd have to appeal for financial aid first if I did that, it wouldn't be right otherwise.
I wish I hadn't called the helpline. I didn't have the nerve to really do it and now I'm out $500.
I did do one good thing today and went out and bought actual nutritious food. I've been living on junk for days. (Slight exaggeration, but not by much.) I'm going to set up some lentil soup in the crock-pot tonight I think, and cook a rice dish tomorrow.
I wanted to go to the L.A. County Museum of art tomorrow evening, since it will be open late for Friday and most of the exhibits will be free. I'm not sure that will work out but I'll probably still try.
