Well, it's been a few days... and although we are not quite as distraught as earlier, it is simply because we are adjusting to the idea that there is little control we have in everything that is about to take place. Ben got paid on Friday, but it was only for one week of working and was barely enough to cover the massive overdraft we had from automatic payments thru the bank, so we still we unable to actually pay anyone. Our cable got shut off a few days ago, which isn't such a big deal, except for that we don't have a converter box or newer tv, so we can't watch it at all anymore... kinda sucks. I spoke with some of our debtors and was told we have until Friday to make a payment on our phones before they will not guarantee services anymore, and also until Friday to pay at least one full payment on my car before they'll consider repossession. Ben doesn't get paid for two more weeks....
I slept for a total of maybe three hours last night and this morning, and have been online applying for jobs since the crack of dawn... but no matter how many applications I put in it just doesn't look hopeful. We sat and talked for quite awhile the other night about what we'd do if they take back our house... and our only conclusion was to leave Utah since there isn't anything left for us here.
My family showed up a bit unexpectedly last night and brought some basic groceries and a gift card for some gas. That was a big relief as we haven't had money for either, and it will help us get by a little longer. Now if we could find a way to get some serious cash so that we could save everything else... but where? I don't know how I can find a job without a phone, or a car, or internet once it is shut off too... but I guess we'll figure that out when we get there. In the mean time we are just plugging along one day into the unknown at a time waiting for answers. Hopefully we'll get a few good ones soon.
