I have absolutely no follow-through, so that contest has been postponed.
So my money has been semi-slowly dwindling since I lost my last job. I was down to slightly under $400 yesterday and decided to splurge; I bought insulin. I now have $40. Not even. Isn't it great that the Diabetes Association denied my claim for free insulin because I was making too much money, a notice I got after I became unemployed, and the waiting list for getting on disability is 9 months? At minimum.
There's a program that's supposed to help pay for your medications while you wait to be approved for disability, but every time I call, I end up waiting on hold for 40-50 minutes until I just give up.
I don't have a shot at applying to the Lilly Foundation for more free insulin until May, I've got about 100 resumes out but still no job, and I'm waiting on my income tax return so I can afford toiletries and my phone bill. I'm having almost constant anxiety attacks due to how broke I am, and best of all, the counselling program I was in was canned by the government so I don't have a counsellor anymore.
Free health care is great and all, but the prescription costs are killing me.
Important:
In order to make some money, I'm going to be offering jewellery commissions. Note me what you're interested in and I'll let you know if I've got the materials. Commission prices will be as follows:
Bracelet, single-strand - $15 + shipping
Bracelet, double-strand - $25 + shipping
Necklace, single-strand - $25 + shipping
Necklace, double-strand - $35 + shipping
These prices are not set in stone. They will vary depending on how simple or complicated the design will be. These are here to give you an idea. I only accept payments through PayPal (unless you live in Sault Ste. Marie, and then I can accept cash). If you'd like to donate funds (if you're not into jewellery), note me and I'd be more than happy to discuss it with you.
Thank you for reading, and have a great day!

Support
With dA launching Support, I feel like it's time for a conversation about support itself. As a poet, I often feel neglected and ignored on deviantART. I feel like poetry and other written forms are seen as less important than visual art. Maybe I haven't found the poetry community within the larger dA community. Maybe I haven't reached out enough to connect with other poets. Maybe I haven't put the time into it. But I still have this nagging notion that poetry is seen as juvenile and rudimentary. Like it's not as sophisticated an art form. And I'm sure plenty of other artists have had the same thoughts about the way their mediums are v
Finally
It's been 2 years since I've been working and now I finally have job prospects again. I have an interview on Monday at the Extasy Shop, and I had an impromptu interview on Tuesday at the Walmart Portrait Studio. I'd much rather work at the Extasy Shop, but I'll hear back from Walmart by tomorrow. Wish me luck!
Sarah's Insulin Fund
Hello everyone. It's been a long time since I've posted here. Part of that is due to my health. As most of you know, I suffer from dysthymia, atypical depression, and generalized anxiety disorder in addition to my type 1 diabetes. Lately, my mental health disorders have begun negatively impacting both my blood sugars and my ability to work. As a result, I'm now unable to afford my medications, the most important of which is my insulin.
I've started a GoFundMe page that I've named Sarah's Insulin Fund in the hopes that generous people will help me to raise funds for insulin. There are two ways that you can help, and I greatly appreciate
Devious Journal Entry
It's been a long while, my friends. Much has changed. Sadly, I haven't been as artistically active as I would have liked.
One positive change is that I've got a new puppy! Well, technically she's 4, but she's a puppy at heart. Her name is Daisy and we adopted her from the Humane Society just over a month ago. She's a Boston terrier-chihuahua mix. I've never had a dog before so this is all new to me. She's fantastic. She's a super quiet dog and since she's so small, I can actually keep up with her on our walks. Currently, she's curled up against my leg under a blanket.
I fell in love with this little fur-monster instantly, but I nev

This is absolutely ridiculous. Ontario has a free insulin pump program, doesn't it? (My lovely Alberta is only one of three provinces that doesn't, *HURK*) So what's the point of giving out insulin pumps and the like when a person can't even get insulin? Insulin itself is definitely more important than a pump. I wish you good vibes, I wish I could help, but at the moment I am broke. When my tax return comes in, I shall do what I can.
