Seriously? No, really...

So...I thought things were shitty before.

Turns out, things COULD get worse.

Monday I get a call from my Workman's Comp caseworker because she just realized that very day that my temporary disability was going to be discontinued. There's a law that just changed this month that they could only pay out temporary disability on an injury for two years from the date of the first check. There may have been a gap between the original accident and the relapse of my injury, but that doesn't matter. The first check was technically 2 years ago at the beginning of January, so even though the law has been rewritten to 5 years, my case falls under old jurisdiction and my temporary disability benefits have ended.

She didn't even realize this until she was preparing my check, so she called me and now I have to fill out the paperwork through the EDD (Employment Development Department to try to get some kind of financing throughout this ordeal. It looks like it shouldn't be a problem, but I have to fill out a million pages of paperwork, get new notices from my Orthopedist, mail it out, and then it will still take at least 2 weeks from them to process the forms. All of this time without me receiving any kind of income.

ON TOP OF THAT, my backup plan fell through. I was okay with this whole canceling my money thing because I knew I would have my financial aid coming in this week and even though I got screwed this semester financial aid-wise (thank you o glorious state of california) it would still be enough to help cover me while the paperwork for the EDD got processed so I would technically be okay. Well guess what, they're having trouble processing my financial aid and they aren't sure when it will be coming through and deposited to my account. They said they may know something by the end of the month.

So in the meantime I'm fucking broke, have bill to be paid, have to pull 144 dollars out of my ass to pay for a campus parking permit, and I'm ready to pull my hair out. I get my last check coming this tomorrow, but it wont be the full amount and and I'm not sure how much it will cover, or even if I can pay David the rest of the rent for this month.

And what's really fucking shitty was I may not be able to afford David's birthday present now. And that's really fucking pissing me off.

So, between crying, pulling my hair out, and wanting to throw things, its been a pretty fucking craptastic week.

But I have managed to lose 2 lbs. Oh fucking joy. Yay for being able to walk on a treadmill without messing up my already fucked up shoulder.

Seriously, life...cut me a damn break, eh?
