[Blindtlk] traveling

    Thanks, I'm all set with my check and everything though. I've been in 
charge my own money now for about nine years, since I first got it.

I'm not sure about being able to live in a section 8 apartment without some 
extra assistance though. There's rent, which isn't bad, but then I would 
need a phone and some form of entertainment; internet I guess. So then I'd 
have maybe $300 to spend on food a month, and what the heck would I be able 
to save? I don't like having no money at all.

So I contacted my Social Worker about getting extra assistance with that 
stuff. She is coming Friday to talk about whether or not I'm eligible for a 
waver or something. I'll just have to wait and see what she says.
