xindigosaberxI don't have much to write today. Just grinding each day, making my best effort to keep improving my situation and work toward being self sufficient. Hitting one roadblock after another. For some reason my financial aid profile never existed even though my FAFSA was approved. I'm not sure how that happened and neither are they, just one more very weird and seemingly random hiccup in me achieving ANYTHING. It's like I keep having to prove I EXIST over and over again in a dozen different ways.
Every time I get my birth certificate, it goes missing when I move. Every time I get a copy of my social security card, within a week it's just gone from the envelope I keep it in, no matter where I keep it. I've gone through three since my husband died. Two birth certificate copies since my husband died, the box with my past taxes and my kids birth certificates got stolen from the moving truck in Chandler when we moved into that apartment and the fireproof zip bag holding their newly acquired documents got stolen when we moved to Pinal county. I don't even know what to do anymore. I can't seem to protect my documents myself. I've tried everything and somehow they go missing every time even though I know exactly where I put them. This time I thought I had it because I kept the documents with me no matter where I went, but one of them is just gone. AGAIN.
It's idiotic of whoever is taking them because it doesn't do anything but cause a mild inconvenience, while making themselves guilty of a major crime. The government issues a receipt letter for your request and if you can't get new ones, they have a letter your employer accepts. It doesn't stop anything. It doesn't prevent the government from proving my identity or citizenship. There's literally no payoff here other than showing me they can and that I STILL have no privacy or safety.
