whole lotta shakin goin on...

yup, had a seizure early tuesday morning (around 3am), then had some more weirdness happen during the day tuesday - fun fun fun. not sure how this'll effect the testing/surgery evaluation - damn, i shoulda just gone right to the hospital and got hooked up to an EEG. it's possible that the birth control pills i take for PCOS are interfering with the lamictal that dr. mohan's prescribed - i'd been off of them for a few months cuz my rx ran out and just recently started em back up again - so i need to give the gyn a call. also need to talk to the shrink about getting a better pill to help me sleep - the sonata is helping me GET to sleep, but i'm still waking up numerous times throughout the night...

ugh, it's all so frustrating. and while the seizure itself wasn't that bad, the aftereffects seem to be hanging around a lot more than usual - still feeling kinda squirrelly.

information on food stamps in indiana...

seems i was given a bit of misinformation when told about the food stamps program in indiana, so here's a bit of a clarification for those that may be interested...

from the Hoosier Works Card FAQ:


not everybody gets their food stamp benefits on the first of the month - just so happens that i do cuz my last name starts with a B:

Food Stamp benefits will be available on one of the first five days of the month, according to the first letter of your last name:

A - B 1st
C - D 2nd
E - G 3rd
H - I 4th
J - L 5th
M - N 6th
O - R 7th
S 8th
T - V 9th
W - Z 10th

All benefits will be available at 8:00 a.m. Central Time on the benefit date.

waitaminute - it says they're available in the 1st 5 days of the month, but then lists 10 days? not a clue what that means, but that's what i copy/pasted from the link - i just hope your last name starts with a letter between A and L, cuz if you're an M through Z, i dunno what to tell ya...



and apparently the balance can roll over, tho i was told it would not and to spend the amount i had before the end of the month:

Q: What if I only receive a small amount of food stamp benefits; can I let the amount increase over a few months before I use them?
A: Yes. You may let them accumulate. Food stamp benefits will be available for 365 days from issuance

i think those are the major questions people have once they get the card...there's my public service announcement for today. *8-)
