[Thank you!]

So basically here's the story:

Last week I broke my wrist and now I'm in a cast for ~8 weeks. I've been on shaky financial footing for a while, but that set me back even more. Had to spend money on Ubers and extra food, copays, etc. I'm okay and back to work on light duty.

I'm going to talk to my apartment complex today to see if I can pay late this month without the late fees, because that's about the only way I can afford it. I'll be behind for next, but I have more time to adjust for that. There's two paychecks between now and the 9th that will total just shy of 800, which is just enough to pay rent plus a few essentials. Then there's three more checks after that in October, so hopefully I can actually get caught up this time. This treadmill is really starting to beat me down.

On top of that, I've got little to no food currently. I got a little help here the other day, but unfortunately I'm a hungry boy and even just buying chicken legs and rice and a couple veggies doesn't go very far.

So this one is a bit open-ended, I suppose. I am most likely going to need more help coming up, as I can't even do lawn work on the side. But for the moment, I need some food and a thing of toilet paper. I ate the last of my chicken and rice last night, and my stomach is starting to grumble. I should have posted then but thought I might have something else in the works. That didn't pan out.

Thank all of you so much for the help you give - not just to me but to everyone here. I am amazed at the things this community has been able to accomplish, just watching the requests being fulfilled. You all are fucking amazing.

For anyone interested, it's a minimally displaced scaphoid fracture. I just took a little tumble off my bike. Nothing dramatic or exciting; honestly it was kind of embarrassing.
