Making Key Chains

Ok, I went to the college to see what it was going to take to become a Respitory therapist. $19000 and I’ll be CRT. Yeah for the pelgrant and for student loans. Boo for the fact the student loan doesnt give me enough money to pay for all of school. Boo for scholarships I cant get because of grades… its been awhile since I’ve been in school so Im not even sure what my GPA is. Ok so it’s going to cost me $250 a month for the first 14 months of school. Boo for the fact IM BROKE and Im only going to get $104 Unemployment because of the way MO state does their unemployment, meaning they are not considering the last 12 months before I got laid off, they are considering the last 12 months since the quarter BEFORE I got laid off.. meanign NON Of my IRS income is counting towards my unemployment. Stupid MO.

Yeah for the fact that bi-polar will qualify me for Social Security Disability because I have worked in the past (lots) and I do believe per the paper SS sends you yearly I’ll qualify for over $900 a month. Pft. So Im signing up for that which I hope will come through easily which realistically thinking I know it wont. It’ll be a fight, but hopefully I’ll get it through before I go back to work at the IRS.

Now the great thing about SS disability is not like SS suplimental income.. they have a program where in the 4 year period you are qualified for you can work 9 months and still recieve your SS Dis. money. If you stop working during the nine months you can carry the remaining over until you work again. Say you spend your 9 months.. if you still work you dont get off of SS Dis. but you just dont get your check… Say you stop again though after spending your nine months, your SS Dis. check resumes.

See good way to help people go back to work. Gives me a chance to go to college and afford life. It’ll get me health insurance as well so I can get my med’s.

I’ve been in a down phase recently, enough that even Justin is noticing the personality mood change. Im snappy and grumpy and Im really trying not to be but well I cant help it. Would be nice if when disability sends me to a doctor he’d see me in this stage or a BIG manicy stage…. That way they would see the true extent of this disease.

So Making Key Chains… Im going to be assembling key chains at home for money.. yeah its one of those work at home things, and hopefully it’ll pan out. They reimburse for shipping and handling of sending the key chains back and they reimburse for the supplies they want you to buy at Wal-Mart. Meaning I probably send them reciepts… Now the one thing I forgot to ask them was if the money they give me $130 for a unit of 60 key chains, if that’s the money I get for making them or if it includes the reimbursements… Hrm. Well if I get my six units done in two weeks they’ll refund my registration fee back, so I have to at least get that much done. Its only key chains and I feel I can make 180 in a week, 3 units which is the max they’ll pay a week so it would come up to $390 a week, and would pay for my schooling 🙂

Must find any way possible to make money to get myself back into school. MUST MUST MUST.

I learned a bit about what a RT does… I never knew exactly some of the things they would deal with. Most of us think they would deal with breathing treatments and making sure CPR is done, but what they also deal with is patients who need to be put on “THE” machine… you also help give information to families about taking terminal patients off the machines.. and if they decide to, you are the ones who have to take the patient off the machine.. meaning you have to help someone die… That will be hardest for me I think. BUT there is a good side… you can work in the neonatal unit helping babies breathe too… I think that’s where I think I want to work… 🙂

MUST find a way to get into this school by July…… work my ass off assmbling things that’s for sure… SEND me my keychains and let me put em together. 🙂
