Thanks Karen, I kinda need those hugs today - I'm feeling a bit vulnerable. (I was really pleased when I found out the reason for my daytime hypersomnia was a med mixup not symptoms worsening thou). I actually sent a formal complaint to the organisation. When the worker contacted me, by text, after the appt'd time I let her know how her inaction had impacted on our situation and I received no reply from her. I would not be prepared to trust her again. Time is of the essence and she seems inately unreliable. I'm not going to pin my hopes on her. There are no houses available and she's meant to be helping keep us from living in our car in four weeks. After waiting weeks for her services - she doesn't even turn up or allow for other alternatives?? Like, I could have gone to her or we could have had a phone appt. She merely wanted to take some time out of her schedule - yet be paid for it. I don't think she's responsible enough to work in a responsible job. My job however is to get us relocated in an affordable rental within the next three weeks. I rang this rent place for people on a low income. She said that I needed to find a house for $210pw. I thanked her for her wisdom and hung up. (There is no "house" available for under $300pw - and I live in the lowest socio-economic area in my city. "Houses" include duplex, townhouses and units). I know it seems outrageous, and it probably is, but I'm planning how we are going to work living out of our car. There are a lot of families who have to do it. I'll join us up at the local pool, so we can have showers. They trust me there and I'll ask them if we can park within the locked grounds for extra security at night. We can get internet connection at macca's and hungryjacks (burger king) on the wifi. I feel like crying because there are no medical services for me, there are no disability services and there are no housing services. I work at maximum capacity and it's still not nearly enough to survive, it seems. Thanks Karen, it's a really difficult time atm. I wanted to be into a new home as soon as possible, but now it just seems I'll stay where I am living to the last possible day I can - the 1st June - that's 30 days time. Four weeks of having a roof over my head and preparing for not having one :( It just sux
