Finally - Good news!!

 Finally! Good news! My phone rang a few minutes ago. It came up as 'suspected spam' so I wasn't even going to answer it. But in the end I did. (gut feeling?) It was Service Canada. I have been accepted for the National Disability Benefit! $200.00 a month. When you only get $1408,... an extra $200 is a big bonus. Between now and September is going to be really tight but now I can get better groceries. Meat,... produce,... I'm getting quite sick of the 'beige' diet. People who live in poverty have to a lot of preserved foods as it's much cheaper. I have always thought there is something wrong with that. It's like they encourage people to buy crap rather than good wholesome food. Now I can squeeze a few more luxuries into my kitchen. I have said that I will never starve. I am the queen of budgeting and can stretch a budget like elastic. But theres no 'fun' stuff in that. No chocolate (my addiction ~ KitKat, Mars, Aero bars,...) No cookies,... or Ice Tea. Just the basics. They feed me - but once in awhile I really do dream of hot roast beef dinner with all the trimmings,... a luxury for some people nowadays. I haven't had roast beef in years,.... maybe that will be the first thing I treat myself to after my first payment.

I applied for it two years ago and was denied because I didn't have the back of one of my ID's photo copied. Its difficult for me to get into town to get photo copies so it got shelved. I finally re-applied last month and this time it looks like I got it. And i don't even have to get any photo copies. It's all done ~ accepted ~ just waiting for the deposit into my account,...

I really needed this. Something positive to happen. And this is very positive.

Well done Canada! You came through for me. I know most people are laughing at me being soo excited over $200, but to me its a lot and well really help. 

I am grateful!!! Thank you,... Thank you,... Thank you,...
