Not to press you but as a general clarification, I can (probably; TSA may eat me because of my expired license 😅) fly again if it’ll get me a chance I can actually use. Anxing just thinking about trying to manage that but whatever, right? 😅 A hope’s a hope, reason and reality can just stay out of it.

There is a program that will cut like $10 off of a landline bill and another that I think does $9 off of an Internet connection or bundle including that (which I believe is the one that can apply to cell service). Looks like that could get me down to like $40 per month 😅 Alternatives include services like TextNow, which will mail me a SIM for like $5 that I can use to provide them with all of my communications and in exchange I get ads and some level of service, assuming they don’t ban me for no reason (which is apparently a thing they do? Hmm.)

[Rantyramble] Everything feels like a huge mess when one’s life (well, what I had of one anyway) just gets spontaneously knocked over. Like, even phone service maybe sounds simple but there’s more to it just because of the mess I’m in. Waiting for mail may be a no-go if I have to go somewhere else before it arrives. Alternatively, I could “just” go to a carrier’s shop and sign up for $50+ (skipping the shenans I may have to go through to get the $9 off or whatever) but that requires that I find one (easy enough, GMaps that up) and get to it (could be hours on multiple buses and/or trains with transfers and no ability to track any of it because of my lack of connectivity) and hope my phone’s not locked up to the biofam account they’re using to screw me over or some other kinda crap I’ll have to/be unable to deal with. Bonus points for readers who remember that I’ve got nasty anxiety problems and can barely make a phone call without a days-long struggle and so even the one little issue may be impossible to resolve right now 🙃
