I wish that knock would come on my door!!
Also, if you have a smartphone, look at square. Then you can get payment by CC....even easier to get paid. No more "gee, we said $20, but I only have $15 on me...".
All Of My Equipment Seems To Be Going Bad At Once....

Yup!
Also consider using Intuit (the quickbooks folks). I have CC processing and payroll integrated right into my QB program on my work laptop. Costs me like $35 a month for both and they have a free card processing iphone app and card reader.
Just keep in mind that not only do they charge a small monthly fee but they take a small percentage of each card transaction. Also there is a small lag time while funds are processed .
Frosting-
First off: HUGS for you.
Next:
I have been very far down financially. Here's something I would like you to consider. Your health is quite important right now & what lots of folks do is eat junk food when they are down. So I would encourage you to go to the grocery store & buy these items. You can eat on this all week & it will cost very little.
1 box old fashioned oatmeal. $4
1 bag brown rice $2
1 bag dried beans $1-2
If you have money left, get an onion too.
Now you have breakfast lunch & dinner. Protein + fiber + lots of vitamins.
I know I know... Bullette the Cowdog is just weird.
Good luck my friend

Sorry to rain on your already bad times but if your charger is getting insanely hot at times you need to stop using it immediately. You are flirting with real disaster by continuing to use it.
Sorry about your luck. I can offer a job hunting tip though. Apply at all of the local temp agencies - Even if they can't find you a permanent position, they can help with your resume and get money coming in while you search for a permanent job.
So many responses... Thank you to everything with their support.
Supergerbil.... That's fantastic advice. The flyers and such I will most likley put that advice into action more with the babysitting/pet sitting/ house watching avenue only because I'm better at that. I have my own vegetable garden that's about 14 by 12 and an hour weeding in my little patch of vitamins wears me out. I have quite a few years of childcare experience under my belt. Flyers in my area would defiantly be a stepping stone of getting work in my area.
I'm also considering stopping by all the big box stores with can returns and taking the bottles & cans others can't return to the local redemption center that can. Until I land something.... ya know that that's my gas money to get to the possible interviews, small jobs, ect.
Bullette the Cowdog- I found that quite sweet yet funny. When I was buying food for the times I'm facing right now I actually bought two boxes of brown rice, and a huge cylinder of Quick Oats. I meant to get dry beans and probably will because they're cheap and a good idea. I could probably pick up a bag in my spare change. You're right. I have been eating too much junk food and need to cut it out.
Sadly I do not have a smart phone. I could never justify the cost and my over-all rate of losing cell phones lol. That is a great idea though even in other avenues.
grandmato-- Thank you for the heads up even if it's something I don't want to hear it sounds like a detail I need to know.
Mirra-- Thanks, I am and I plan to apply to more. Its difficult because although I've been working a long time I don't have many desirable skills places look for around here. Its mostly trade, manufacturing, and retail. Retail yes the other two not so much.
Sorry if I missed anyone to those I did, thank you.

Hehe Summer & Acorn Squash, Golden Wax Beans, Cauliflower, Broccoli, tomatoes, basil, Mustard Greens(my favorite), sugar baby watermelons and more. I'm pretty proud of my garden. Maybe I can mail you some vegetables?
When food is getting difficult to afford there's great comfort in a garden.....
