STRESS BEING PLAYED AS AN APPETITE INHIBITOR

I woke up yesterday morning fairly certain I would be devoting most of my morning into contacting the Department of Economic Security (don't you love what they call welfare assistance in the state of Arizona?).

I got a live person on the second attempt, and on the third attempt, actually talked to someone who could answer my questions about my daughter's not-being-fired-but-also-not-being-scheduled-any-work-hours situation.

I then spent an hour or so at the public library trying to not make too many corrections to Joy's cover letter(s) to go with job applications. Which meant literally biting my lips until they bleed and only making grammatical suggests (Joy actually spells much better than I do).

The next step was going to my local office supply store, where they did not have the model of printer which I trying to replace - after being told on Wednesday that the truck coming in Thursday would deliver it. The sales manager assured me that I could pay for and order one that would be delivered to the store next week - whereas I retorted a tad sharply that I could order it from amazon.com, get it cheaper, and have it delivered to my door.

But hey, I really didn't a chance to eat much of anything!
