May 2016

I got a job that pays more than two of my part time jobs so quit those. I now have a few extra bucks per payday to put toward the loan my brother gave me to bail me out of a collection situation and a few extra bucks to get some better food.

I'm not out of the woods, but the prognosis is good.

Thanks for asking and sorry for the time to get back to you.
