I finally got it

The third time the phone rang, the young lady on the other end finally got through. She explained to me that the other two times there had been something wrong with her headset. While I've never used a headset, I can sympathize with electronics that decide not to work when they don't want to. She asked me the questions that would have been on the papers ("Packet" she called it) that I would have received. Most of them I was pretty sure of the answers to--a few I had to think about 'cause my brain doesn't let me know information when I want to know it quite often. Anyway, thanking the Lord that I am re-certified for my EBT, which I still need to use the rest of before the month ends--I've just been running around doing other stuff or being too tired to do anything else this week. Once that was done, I went for a 2,000 step walk; currently I have 2,630. When the phone call came, I was starting with my going through a bag of stuff from my "catch all" table, so after I post this, I'll continue that--cutting off a couple of minutes for the timer that I already started. I hope that you are doing well today in your part of myLot land!

I forget what it stands for, but it's basically a card that works like food stamps.

I think it stands for Electronic Benefit Transfer... but I'm guessing.

Yeah, I have a few flat surfaces that need to be cleared, too. Isn't it amazing how quickly they accumulate stuff?

Remember, you don’t have to spend all of it by the end of the month if you don’t want to. It rolls over to the next month.

? I'm pretty sure the money disappears at the end of the month here. Wait--I just looked it up and it says it doesn't. I haven't used it in a while, though, so I do want to make sure they don't think it's "inactive".
