I am made of epic fail

The good news is, the only thing wrong with the laptop is, it needs a new keyboard. R_Happy plugged it in with a USB keyboard and says it worked fine. I *thought* I could use my folding Palm keyboard, but realized after a half-hour of fruitless mumbling that there's no way to connect the two. So, either I get a USB keyboard or a SB adapter for a "normal" keyboard---I do have spare kicking around---or I cough up $30-50 to have the one in the laptop replaced, which I'll probably end up doing anyway. Eventually.

Did a little bit of clean-up in the front yard while I was wating for R to arrive. I've determined, regretfully, that my ceramic dragon is too severely shattered (by hail a while back) to be repaired. Alas!

And then there's the really bad news: I paid both insurance companies AND my car tag, which seemed my most pressing problems, only to find a final notice from the power company in today's mail. They won't grant an extension; I tried that right off.

At this point, I think I WOULD sell a kidney if I could get any takers.

Oh, shit is right! Around here, there's all kinds of penalties -- late payment fee and reconnection fee -- slapped on top of the bill people already can't pay. (We refer to the local electric cooperative as the Uncooperative because of their unwillingness to work with anyone. They basically give St. P's the finger every time we try to help anyone out.)

Now may be the time to turn to that organization that helps working folks in a tight with one utility bill. I would think you'd qualify, since car repairs knocked a Titanic-size hole in your budget.

That's the first thng I did this morning. One organization is out of funding, which leaves the Salvation Army---THEY have funding, but---they will only pay one month (I owe two) and they can't get me in until next week.

OH DEAR!!! That's just a whole not of not-goodness to absorb at one time.
