moving out

Damn.  I have been WAAAAY too lazy w/ me bloggin
OK.  Me and my mom found a place outside of my sister&her-husband's 2 bedroom apartment to live, at least until our SSI (Supplemental Security Income aka welfare) runs dry due to whatever is causing the dissolving of the trustfund that the gov't set up many years ago.
It's a 45 minutes to an hour drive from the residence of my sister & my nephew.  And another 45/60 minutes back.  I like the feel of the place.  It's very rugged and outdoorsy.  The place was a pigsty when we looked at it, but the trailer park manager assured my mother that they would be cleaning it before we move in.  They don't know how long it'll take, but we're planning on moving in no later than the 8th of March.  My sister & her husband bought my mother a recliner from LA-Z-BOY.  It is scheduled for delivery on March 8th.  So if we're not moved in by then...maybe they'll reschedule, provided someone remembers to call them and ask...*maybe*....
Not much has gone on with me otherwise.  Me mum & I finished applying for food stamps and Medicaid over two weeks ago.  Now we're waiting to see if we're approved.  My mom has ran out of at least 3 medications totaling over $100.  And that's just for 3.  She takes almost a dozen total.  My sister's not bad off, but she's not well off enough to pay for my mother's medical bills.
My sister's been generously supplying grocery items.  We eat some kind of meat dish almost every dinner.  Not to mention the sandwich meat, which I myself don't normally buy.  The price of groceries is about the same in this part of the U.S. as it was in southeast Missouri.  The price of gas is not an exercise in redundancy like it was in SEMO.  In Cape Girardeau, gas prices were pretty much one flat rate.  Here, they've been varying between $1.44 and $1.65 depending on who you shop with and where you shop with them.  The Shell stations, for instance, don't all have the same prices -- nor are they all on the higher end of the spectrum.  The QT and RaceTrac locations do generally stick to the same range, differing by one or two cents.  The electric company is one and only one, just as it was where we had lived before.  Not sure if that's the case nationwide or not.
