For real, this is very hard for me to do because I don't like asking for help, at all.

Apart from a few random pointless journals or whatever, I haven't talked about myself much at all in much depth or detail. I'm not going to start doing that now, hopefully this will be short, quick, and to the point. I've been struggling, majorly, financially. I don't get paid enough for what I do, our hours keep getting cut at work, and my parents haven't had much of a paycheck for a while now so I can't rely on them without feeling like a leech.

For those of you that don't know, I pretty much live alone. Fortunately, the only thing I have to worry about is paying my & sister's phone bill, my credit card bill, and whatever I have left is for gas and groceries. Which was totally manageable, until my old boss was forced to quit, and our new boss has completely changed everything and does exactly the opposite of what she promised to do.

End of sob story.

I haven't been able to go grocery shopping in about three months. I am out of almost everything, and I don't get paid until either Tuesday or Wednesday.

I'm fine, but my main concern is my dog: I ran out of dog food today, and what she has in her bowl right now isn't going to last until Tuesday or Wednesday. I'll be lucky if it can somehow stretch out until tomorrow afternoon.

I don't need much, just enough to get a small bag on my way home from work tomorrow, to tide her over until I get paid again. I'm going to be doing really simple & cheap commissions, maybe $2-$3 icons/busts. I know my art isn't the greatest and I'm not the fastest in the world, but I really don't know what else to do.

Thank you for reading, if you are.
