A Christmas Present from the State of Washington
I got a notice from the state: based on my knee and foot problems, they're reinstating my short-term disability benefits!
YAY!
This means three very important things can now happen: 1.) The monthly benefit is just barely more than my rent, so going forward I will be able to meet my rent! 2.) I can now go to the Opportunity Council with proof of income and plead for help from their eviction prevention programme to cover the back rent and late fees, and 3.) I get a breather in the stress of worry about eviction while I look for suitable sedentary work.
This is SUCH a load off my shoulders. For the time being, I don't have to fret about paying rent while job-hunting, or worry about being evicted.
Thank you, DSHS!

I've been pondering your situation a lot, because I like to help people out, but months worth of rent is too much to take on. Now that you've got that, if you need any stop-gap funds (especially if it helps you find employment) let me know and I can probably lend a hand.
