Wasting My Time
Okay, so I've spent the day, in between working my zillion hours, updating and adding to the websites. I'm probably wasting time better spent actually working, but I figure I gotta try to see if I can try to get some help with getting this stuff paid. I've been watching the news all about the tsunami victims, tsunami aid, this and that..and I feel so bad for the victims. I can't imagine the devastation over there, and the 150+ thousand lives lost, so far. Unspeakable sadness, it's too huge to think about the number of lives and the property lost. Those people probably don't have much of a life to start with, and now they've got even less. I know we've all gotta do our part to help, but at the same time, I can't help thinking that there are people here in the US still living in trailers and tents, and trying to recover from the damages of the hurricanes we just suffered. People..I don't know.. like me, for instance. I applied for help from FEMA and every other place I could think of, and I can't get help paying off a measly $1500.00. Yet, we're sending billions of government aid, and another untold millions to billions from private donations to other countries to save these people. Is it too much to ask that they could funnel just a teeny tiny piece of that money going there to help people like me. Not even necessarily me, but what about those who are even worse off than me and getting nothing. People who lost their homes, lost people they loved, lost businesses. The sad part for me too, is that because of the timing of these problems I'm having, with Christmas being just over, and people being broke from that, and now everyone with money to give far more likely to send it over to help the tsunami victims than to give it to a girl who still has a home and needs so little by comparison, I'm probably not likely to find many, if any, people who will be willing to donate or loan me money. I'm gonna keep trying, but I'm not holding out much hope for my prospects.
