I Waited A Long Time. 16 Days.

8:37 a.m. I haven't written in 16 days. I really only have information about the ten days following my last entry....up to my birthday. I really put things off. Not a whole lot of memory to go on. 

I made what I call 'brain dump notes' up until the 29th or so. Today is December 4th. These give me an idea of what happened on that day, as well as web search and shopping history. I haven't gone anywhere except home, work, and church though...except for one trip to the post office. More later.

All these big things are happening and I haven't been writing them down! God is opening doors.

Basically, recently, I have made another go of laying off the credit cards...trying to make a go off the few remaining dollars I had left after paying off the last credit cards...and Gopd has been very providential.

I got a new heater, spoken of below, that I otherwise couldn't afford. Grandpa even gave me $10 instead of the $5 I asked to borrow last night, because my money had run out. Anna and Dad sent me a sketchbook I wanted for my birthday, though they were coy about it. 

It kinda shows that I've been blocking opportunities for God to bless me in these surprise ways because I was using what I sometimes call the 'get what I want when I want it' card.

Some undated highlights of late:

- Grandpa bought me a new heater, the one I turned down buying myself on credit card, listening to a whisper from God. The last one they had. 

- I'm approved for food stamps, at $89 a month.

- They recently cut my hours to only 17 hours a week at $9.25 an hour. But I get to come in if someone can't make it, presenting an opportunity to make some extra hours, as I did last night.

- Pastor invited me to bible study next week, something the Lord had been imploring me to do but thus far had been refusing. This was the extra nudge, and from an important place, so now I really do have to go. 9:45 a.m. on Sunday mornings.

- Mom arrived in town yesterday, bringing Aaliyah her first car, which she promptly cleaned herself. She'll be here on and off throughout Christmas and I'm very pleased to hear of it. 

Here we go.

Tuesday, November 21st

Work with Bob.

My new 4K mini cam arrived and Harmony and I took to playing with it outside, doing a lot of filming outdoors including nature, each other, and the dogs. 

My heated blanket also arrived, but I was concerned that it wasn't an official Maxkare product like my old one, and I left a review pertaining to that as well as an email to the store owner.

I did another drawing tutorial on my website.

Experienced trouble logging into my employee website, which was a little disheartening considering I'd need paystubs in the future.

I did some more browsing on Amazon, though that's not commendable.

I wound up buying Harmony a mini pink camera of her own, very excitedly, which I was confident she would enjoy. It was even sort of kawaii, and she likes that sort of thing. Paid for in cash, with CashApp. Not credit.

I ALSO bought an electric eraser.

This was on credit, of course, which I shouldn't have been doing, but I did it anyway. Not commendable, but yeah I have a sin problem to work on.

I looked up old job reviews for fun.

Wednesday, November 22nd

Off work.

I took the leap on a black friday sale and got the blurb book, part Vingt-Six on sale for $35. Saving about $9. Yes, it was done on credit. I also took the time to get most of the new one updated.

I played some more with Harmony with the new camera I got, called the AKASA EK7000, by the way. That was fun, but being just limited to this yard, we were out of new things to explore with it.

I decided, secretly, to buy her the Echo Pop which was on sale for $17. :) It's coming.

I'm still keeping an eye out for the status of my food stamps application.

At night, I had a sort of 'solo party' where I blared music at top volume, Trap Christmas Remix music, and cleaned. I tried to match up the sound on the projector and my computer speakers, but that was a bit tricky at times, especially if it randomly went to a commercial and lost sync.

I was prepping for guests, because Aunt steff, Uncle J, and the kids were coming up from a long drive from Florida the next day.

Thursday, November 23rd. Thanksgiving.

Off work.

Jen was not in a good mood, to start that morning.

I spent some time in 1 Chronicles.

I got my annual photo of the Wimpy Kid, which is a private tradition of mine. It was a miracle, because I didn't have NBC on my t.v. and it took some searching, until I found it was on Peacock, (Praise Jesus! I was so excited) which I share under Dad and Anna's paid subscription. I really need to get an antennae one of these days though.

I also did yet more cleaning.

We didn't leave for my cousin Jodi's until around 1 p.m. She as a big field for her two horses and converted the shed/home conversion into an area to eat.

Kids played. 

We ate real good. And Jodi gathered everyone's attention and we prayed together as a family before the meal.

People took turns horse riding and getting mini lessons from Cousin Jodi, though Aaliyah and I opted out for fear. I rode a horse when I was a child and did not like it, and I've resisted it since. Even later viewing it from Harmony's perspective via the mini camera made it seem daunting. Oh, and Star wouldn't stand even sitting on the horse, let alone riding.

I made one dessert plate and two to-go plates...because others got theirs and I could use the extra food.

Praise and thank Jesus.

At one point, God wanted me to go sit alone in the truck and read scripture, but Jen shortly came over thereafter with a confused look on her face...wondering why I was sitting in the truck..as though something were wrong.

I came home and moved my leftovers into big ziploc bags because I was low on clean tupperware and it saved space.

We did meet up with Aunt Steff and Uncle J, and even my great cousin Mike and his family stopped over, and I got to give the gifts to Aunt Steff and Uncle J...and the kids. And we all stood around talking, but the more memorable conversations are not the ordinary ones you would expect.

I had asked, kinda out of the blue, if Zackary was susceptible to the same diseases that killed Aunt Heather, his mother. She was only around 37 when she died. 

One said no, he didn't, while others argued that yes...he tested positive. He has Crohn's Disease, which is uncurable. A very painful and lifelong disease.

I'm equally concerned that it passes on to his children as well. May it not be so. I even asked last Christmas and I believe, if I recall right, apparently his little son tested well. So thank God for that.

Some said Magettes (I don't know how it's spelled, that's how it's pronounced) killed her, while others said it was a blood clot in her leg...and she died because she refused to have it amputated.

And Joe died because he refused to have his wounded leg amputated. I was told growing up though that it was pneumonia that killed him.

And on that subject, my cousin Brian also has an injured leg and also refuses, thus far it seems, amputation...and they say that that decision (to refuse) is also life-threatening. Gangrene? I think?

So it was ultimately these combined stores where a person would choose to risk passing away or choose to have a limb amputated.

Even makes you question a little to yourself if you would give up a limb if it meant you would live.

Also, I was told by Della's husband that the results from his recent colonoscopy came back pre-cancerous, and I was very sorry to hear it. I was talking with them about a week or so earlier as I tried to aide them in finding the laxatives needed before his colonoscopy took place.

As for him, he was at peace with news, and decided if God was ready to take him, he would be ready.

Friday, November 24th.

Work day. Morning shift. Hard work day. Lots of stocking.

This was the beginning of a FOUR DAY straight work week.

Spent some time in 1 Chronicales again...a little.

My Paypal business card came in, and I got to activate it. I haven't used it or loaded it yet, though.

My little camera for harmony arrived, but she was less than enthused. She'd hoped it had been as high quality as that more expensive little camera I got...eep. She said she'd want to use it at Christmas at least.

My electric eraser also arrived. But I didn't try it out right away.

I talked with Anna about the Christmas gifts, and she said she was getting Harmony an Echo Dot for kids (remember I bought the Echo Pop for her, which arrived this very day) so I ultimately kept the dot...and she doesn't know she's getting a better and more expensive model for Christmas. It looks like a little blue-green owl.

We arranged for the presents that were Jen's to be sent in my name, and the ones for me sent in Jen's name. 

Anna and Dad unfortunately cannot make it this year, financially, to come up from Florida, so she is shipping the presents directly here. 

Saturday, November 25th

Went to work in the morning. Another day with a heavy amount of stocking.

I got an email saying one of the games on my Steam wishlist was on sale. A normally $50 game for $6. Out came the credit card again. not wanting to miss this limited time opportunity. I also got the Barbie car I wanted for $0.49 and later spent a further $8.99 to get all the paid cars in the game.

Anna's and Dad's gifts were on the way. We got some wrapping paper and decided to start wrapping up the gifts we did have...Aaliyah did..but Harmony got to help put labels on some of them. I didn't stay for the whole thing, though.

9:50 a.m. I've been at this updated for over an hour and need a break now. For a few minutes.

Sunday, November 26th

I went to work in the morning until 2:30 p.m. An easier day, for once. Worked with Kim and learned the proper way to set up sales advertisements.

1 Chronicles Bible commentary, somewhere around 18-19.

I bought a slice of my favorite pie ahead of my birthday, as well as some candles and a birthday card. A Disney one. It said '5' on the front, but a '3' could be added...though I did have a bit of a somber message to write inside of it when the time came. 

I had a toothache most of the day and came home and had a nap.

While it was on sale, I also bought the light up tracing pad I'd been thinking of for weeks, for only $10 after using $6 in credit card points. It was still, however, all purchased on the credit card.

Monday, November 27th

I did a lot of chores...a lot of dishes and getting the laundry done. Other than that, the day was pretty chill before work.

I spent some time watching a Norman Rockwell documentary, which I enjoyed.

The slippers that never got sent....I got contacted customer service after waiting a few days, like it said, and they resent them. Praise Jesus.

Harmony has a new diet beginning soon, less sweets and carbs, because it's p[art of why she's so prone to seizures.

Grandpa's slippers arrived, they sent the original and new pairs, but both were the wrong size...according to Aaliyah. So she was in a predicament about who to give two pairs of slippers to. We guessed a pair for DJ, but who knows about the second pair?

Work at 4 p.m. with Bob and Becky. It wasn't the easiest day, as I did some things here and there I ought not to have done.

I wasn't supposed to allow a person to do cashback...and there was a drunk customer (I don't perceive drunkenness well, but he was, according to Bob) who insisted on moving a u-boat I was asked to move (but couldn't presently do because I was at the register) but I didn't do anything to stop him either...so I got rebuked over it. And necessarily so.

I was prayerful to God and that tends to get me weepy at work, especially when the enemy taunts at how alone I am.

Last day of the four day work week. A list was growing on needs and my credit card bill was already too high to keep adding more...lest I not be able to afford paying them off.

I did however, decide to get the oral rinse on credit that day.

Tuesday, November 28th. My 35th Birthday.

I had requested this to be a day off from work weeks earlier.

It was mostly a chill, or lazy, day.

It was a sad birthday. I was very alone, convicted over some things, and I wrote a very tearful note in the birthday card (after decorating it pleasantly) about the unhappy state of my life.

I'm alone. And I acknowledged that I've been alone for the greater majority of my life so far. I don't go anywhere nowadays except three places, or have the opportunity to explore or gain those new experiences.

I'm cloistered in.

It was a very lonely first half of the birthday.

I did, however, have that enjoyable pie...my favorite...but even though I asked a few times, my God felt it better I save the candles for someone to share it with me.

Mom gave me $40 as a gift, which I spent.

I gave some to charity, for a first, to give clean water to some poor children in another country.

I got an art book I wanted, of Holbein's art, my favorite artist. I would like to do master drawings again of some more of his works. It seems to be a little rare, too. I was fortunate to get it for $11.30, praise Jesus, but the price has since jumped to over $30. And $30-$40 seems to be its average price on the internet. So I am looking forward to it arriving. (As of the time of writing this entry, December 4th, it is supposed to be arriving today. God willing.)

It's the second book of Holbein art I'd ordered. On the 20th, I re-ordered one I had long ago featuring art reflecting the Tudor court.

I also ordered an E-book on Holbein works, but the art inside was not of the resolution I was hoping to recreate in drawing. However, they do show details and it had a lovely picture I found intriguing. I made a mental check that I might like to copy this one day.

Of course, I just found a complete version here:

One thing I also like of Holbein is he didn't have a tendency to draw nude people. 

People assume because it is centuries old that nudity in art is no harm to even put before children's eyes, but that's not how God perceives a public display of nudity...whether in painting or statue. Time doesn't make it less sin. 

Paintings from centuries ago of nude people are as much pornography as nude photography or paintings or drawings are today, and are not art. 

Nor should any God fearing Christian (blessed and endowed with the spirit of skill for art) deem those paintings of old to be clean, or worse, try to recreate it. (and abuse the gift.) And worse still, for others to see.

And to the rest of the story...

With the last of the birthday money, I ordered a Christmas gift for Harmony. A 'How to Draw' book of cute things. I keep buying things I want to be Christmas gifts, but by the time it gets here, I can't wait to give it to her and just give it early. lol.

I did fall into a trap of getting caught up in Amazon shopping, though. I did go further spending on credit. I bought a leather sketchbook with brown binder pages.

And I asked for yet a second one, with binder rings, from Dad and Anna as a birthday gift, lol. Rather than going further to buy it for myself.

I also made a thorough search for poseable barbies...because I may have a better time drawing those than the standard poseable wooden dolls (been there, tried that.) but I stopped short of buying them and instead put them on a wishlist.

Also, I later saw family posted a number of birthday wishes on Facebook and it really was a touching and kind gesture, especially considering those less pleasant circumstances earlier that day.

Anyway, later toward evening, the two girls got together and sang Happy Birthday with me over that birthday pie, and we shared pie and ice cream, and it was the best part of the whole day. 

Also, yesterday the church prayed and blessed those whose birthdays had passed and we did a collective Happy Birthday, especially in honor of the pastor's wife's birthday. Amen, in Jesus name.

Wednesday, November 29th.

I got yet one more day off.

1 Chronicles 16

Chill day.

I worked on my site yet again.

I clipped the pets nails. I accidentally clipped Jasmine's too far and drew blood...poor baby. She barely reacted and could walk fine, but I did apologize to Harmony later.

I tried to get my Dino sketch going again, but I was not pleased with it, so I didn't finish.

I spent some time in the Word again, while listening to nice calming music. That was nice.

However, I was later pulled down the Amazon rabbit hole, looking at yet more poseable barbies, which again I didn't buy and ultimately turned down.

I got in mind to pick out a particular DSLR camera and though a whopping $1,600, I decided to try and save or it...or a better one. God only knows. I'd have to save $100 16 times. 

Every two weeks. For 32 weeks, OR seven months and 11 days. Yikes.

BUT saving beats trying to obligate myself in monthly payments...not knowing if I'd even have a job for that long.

Another rabbit whole was looking up handmade paper to sketch on, but it was too pricey in the end. I would not go on using the credit card.

I did however find a guillotine paper trimmer, which is something I 'very' low-key wanted for a long time...since the days I used one in art class back in high school.

My leather, or rather, fake leather, journal came in. I did spend some time doodling in it.

So here is where the brain dump notes end, where I chronicled my journey. From November 30th to now, five days, I have to rely mostly on the internet and a paper trail. My memory can be pretty weak.

Thursday, November 30th.

Went to work way early. Arriving around 3:15 and waiting in the car parking lot until closer to 4 p.m. before going in.

Worked with David.

Bible Commentary 1 Chronicles 18...switched to Matthew 1.

My direct deposit change went through successfully this time, and I now get direct deposits on CashApp, INCLUDING overdraft coverage. I thought I had arranged some to go to a second account in savings, but I didn't...and rather glad. I would not be able to afford savings with all the credit card payoffs I needed to make.

I got paid $428. didn't tithe and aside from $125 rent, it took all I had except a little over $7 to fully pay off all my credit card damage.

I was locked out of Nelnet, so I can't tell how bad the interest right there is now.

I finally got the Thanksgiving photos to upload to Google. The files were so large it took days to accomplish.

I went looking for free stock of water running down the face, or even good Ai photos, especially from Dall-E. I eventually settled on one and later printed it out...and traced it on the projector. However, it didn't please me and it was trashed.

I also tried to speed-draw it, but my phone died.

I requested to go to work early so I could run by the post office to mail out the Christmas gift cards to Dad and Anna. I can't post pictures here for obvious reasons, the address, but Grandpa was willing. We had to work together to find it on a GPS that wasn't live, but it wasn't hard.

The postmaster was a nice guy, who I later had as a customer at work. I also saw one of my regulars in there. Small town. It only cost $0.69 each to mail the letter. I brought my credit card in case it was more, but it was not needed,.

...and it was not far from work, so I got there quite early. 

I sat in the car for a bit until almost 4, went to work, and that was the day.

I asked Mom if she could send some money, even though she already sent $40 for my birthday, so I could get the last heater the store had. My boss David offered that I could put it aside to buy, but I didn't want to use my credit card. 

Alas, she didn't have the money, and so I made the decision to put it back on the sales floor. (Not set aside for myself, as sugggested.) God was guiding.

I did have my credit card with me that day, but opted out of using it. After paying it off, it was yet another chance to try and put it down and stick with cash. I cleaned the slate that day, and wasn't in a hurry to muddy it up again already.

Friday, December 1st

Off work.

Grandpa, Uncle Mike, and I chatted up the postal lady. She's really struggling but she was very friendly and polite.

My tracing pad arrived, and God was nudging that this was for Harmony. But I was asking if it could be mine, and we could 'share' it. I ultimately wound up agreeing that it would be fully hers, but she said she'd let me borrow it from time to time.  She really enjoyed using it, too, so it made me all the more glad.

Also, my Henry VIII Holbein Art book arrived! I really enjoyed reviewing it. My blurb book also arrived, and it was very high quality. I was very pleased for the price. I reviewed them both.

The sketchbook I asked from Dad and Anna arrived, although Dad was displeased at first I had opened it. He thought it was supposed to be a combined Christmas/Birthday gift. Anna said otherwise. 

It's already got doodles in it now. :D I tried doodling my Ai collection and it was very relaxing. A relief from the rigors of trying to perfectionately draw realism.

I also looked up more mega-journals on Amazon.

I wishlisted a giant leather one with stones on the front. I seen it in a shop once in a mall and wanted it then, and was glad to find it on amazon. Very huge. Considering it might have mostly a pagan audience, having stones on the front some might use as idols, I figure if I buy it the review may be an opportunity for the gospel as well.

Saturday, December 2nd

Work Day. Morning shift.

Worked with David and helped with training a new girl, Jazz. She's young and this was her first job. She might be alright. 

I also had to take down them sales signs I put up with Kim the other day.

AFTER THERE WERE TWO NEW HIRES, MY HOURS WERE PROMPTLY DROPPED TO 17 HOURS A WEEK. MY SNAP MINIMUM IS 20. DAVID SIAD THAT WAS ALL THE HOURS HE COULD GIVE ME RIGHT NOW.

This, on a low income as it was before...it was deemed a good thing the credit card was put down, because I can't afford to be playing with it now. And I'm also glad I didn't simply pay one off and leave the other alone, putting me in 'that' bind, as I initially felt tempted to do.

I might make $275 every two weeks after taxes on that. $125 of which is rent. So I get $150 (less, after tithes) per two weeks. Yikes. 

Anyway.

Anna sent $10 to get wrapping paper, and I did, but I learned at the end of the shift that I didn't even need to buy it. Bob was shocked I bought it, and David said when he sold it, he didn't know the free ones were initially back there.

Someone had some free ones aside (a lady for a church, some story like that) and anyway, they gave some away to me, so we got multiplied there. Jen hasn't even finished Christmas shopping yet, so this would prove very useful to her. 

Another way God is being generous.

My dealings with Amazon shopping go way on pause as I make it yet another day without swiping on the credit card. Every day is a small victory in that area, so far.

I got a free Ebook from Amazon, but doubtful I might read it. I honestly just liked the cover:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BZF1M9QG?ref_=pe_undef

I played the 'A Story About My Uncle' game I'd been playing with Harmony over the past week or so. We also enjoyed taking turns playing the Hot Wheels game.

There was Youtube in the evening, and not much else to mention.

Sunday, December 3rd.

Day off...or it would have been.

I got locked out of DailyPay and it won't let me back in. It's a good thing I never made transfers with them, I only used them to track what would be on my check, but I hope this won't mean there is some connection that will prevent them from delivering my paycheck to me.

It's good I never connected a bank account with them, since they are found wanting in their customer service department. And the BBB has all those horror stories.

If I don't get paid, like Checkers, I will have to quit.

Mom showed up after church and it was a great surprise. I was pleased to hear she'd be here off and off until Christmas. That's helpful. Bella is here, and she loves her dog, but she can be a handful at times.

I was there to see Aaliyah get her first car and clean it.

Harmony and I got to play 'A Story of my Uncle' after chores with me, until I suddenly had to go to work and try to beat the parade at 2 - 2:30 p.m.

I was called into work in the afternoon (A coworker had an incident with her mother and needs prayer for healing) and went, glad to earn more hours. We had to detour to get past the parade, and I got a pedestrian police escort across the road to get to work. I watched a little of the parade too.

I was asked to stock up some Christmas stuff and was happy to do so. I don't decorate, but it low key felt like decorating, so it was a little bit of a happy feeling.

I got a jug of water and jelly. Buying on the last $5 I had left.

Worked with Bob, and it was nice shift. There are some tensions going on in the store I'd rather not be involved with, but did hear about. Sometimes something happens and while at the time, I regard it as nothing, others heard about it and it was somehow made into a big deal. There was also a lot of political talk, and some uncomfortable visuals Bob showed me, and that's never easy. I forgive, though.

As an example, when I recently worked with Becky and Kim, one day I asked permission to put on Christmas music. Becky seemed okay with it, but Kim did let me know she didn't care for Christmas music, and if we worked together, I can't put it on.

I was okay with that. I had no problem respecting that wish. I didn't really think much of it since.

When I worked with her the other day, I saw she had a ring on her finger with a pentacle. Mind you I never brought religion up with her, but I took this to assume she might not be a Christian and said nothing.

Last night, Bob came and told me that she said that, (about the Christmas music) because she was an atheist...and he found it offensive that she might have refused me on those grounds (though I didn't know or hear her say so at the time.) In the sense that perhaps that he deemed it oppressive to me as a Christian.

I did make the mistake of mentioning the ring, which bothered him, and once it bothered him I realized made a serious error in mentioning that...because it was not my business to mention what she was wearing or suggesting about her beliefs behind her back...and if it comes back to bite me...now you'll know why. 

But I'm being plain that it was my error now, before I see the full consequences.

There are plenty of instances in the Bible where a momentary error or transgression wielded longer term consequences.

What I did perceive is that small meaningless matters were being discussed about me when I was not present, and were now being escalated beyond my notice....until the point where it was brought up to me directly.

For another example, the last incident about the flowers and Bob expressed he felt Kim might have mistreated me about the matter, in feeling I did it wrong, but I didn't think anything like that at the time. Nor do I now. And the matter came out with relief.

The deeper issue, along with rampant gossip and mutterings, being Bob and Kim are at unfortunate odds with each other, the details of which is no matter of mine, but I am finding it unfortunate to witness.

I do pray for her. I just am a sad witness that while they get along, or even seem to outwardly, in each other's presence, they whisper and murmur against her to me when she's gone.

I sympathize with her for this reason, (and for my part, must discipline my tongue in wisdom to keep quiet, a thing I'm not always perfect at) and as for her being an unbeliever I openly made it clear to Bob that I do not condemn her. 

Without wood a fire goes out; without a gossip a quarrel dies down. Proverbs 26:20

I'm not offended over the matter of her declining my wish to play Christmas music, if it displeases her. 

If someone doesn't prefer jazz, or heavy metal, I won't force them to listen to it or be offended if they prefer not to hear it...whatever the reason. 

And it's not Christmas music that saves you.

It's not a big matter. In fact, I am surprised that little matters I took no notice of were being treated as big matters.

I will, however, pray for her. She'll go on a list of unbelievers in my heart I hope to come to saving faith in Christ. :)

On a more positive note, I got to listen to some remixes of Christmas music, after listening to Bob's own Alabama and other renditions. I even danced a little.

It was over a $1,000 in the drawer...I was short 3 dollars and I know why. Bob asked for three and I gave it, early on in the shift, confusing the change...and he said it was owed anyway. Not an honest move on my part.

I also did CashApp on my own when I wasn't supposed to, and I was worried I double-gave over $40 but the case was not so, thank God. Still it was a warning to be more cautious.

So for these things it was a blight on my part.

After work, I came home and eventually found some rest after watching my usual Jesus docu-series. Drive Thru History with David Stotts.

Monday, December 4th TODAY

I can't believed I got it covered! FOUR hours later! To cover 16 days. I remembered more than I expected and it helps to keep a record, so when big things happen, you can see there was a trail leading up to it.

Such as: 

Mom couldn't afford to send me a heater, and I am putting down the credit cards, so I put it back on the sales floor. The last one. A few days ago, Grandpa surprised me and bought it for me, and last night it kept the house temperate during a 30 degree morning.

Also when I let go of the credit cards, and use the little cash I have for things I really need, rather than my wants, He's showing me that it opens up more room for God to surprise me with blessing. And patience is key.

I started the day with taking the dogs out and read a little in the Word. I said hi to mom and got the entry done.

I go to work today with Bob, and a new guy I haven't met yet, Alex, at 4, and then I'm supposed to have the day off tomorrow, God willing. 

This morning until now I mostly got this entry updated and making room on my whiteboard to record more of the coming days. lol. I ran out of room.

Expecting my rare Holbein book I bought on my birthday today, God willing.

I need a shower.

I wrote an unhappy email, an unpleasant one of all things, to DailyPay since they had gotten my issue wrong and asked for the same information I'd already given...things backed by my distrust of them from all those BBB horror stories...but it was not right to God...so I had to follow up with an apology email and bless them. So I did.

I am hoping they do not somehow withhold my pay on account of being locked out due to a phone number issue, but time would tell. Again, if I can't get paid, then I can no longer work there.

All glory, praise, thanks, and all things be to God on the highest forever and ever in Jesus mighty and wonderful name, amen. P.S. I love you and Jesus does, too. God bless.
