Finding new things to fret about

Now that I've put my thesis on submission and it is someone else's problem for a while, my brain has found a new-old thing to fret about: money, and the fact I don't have any.
(Cake and beer was a grand achievement in the food shopping yesterday. Nearly didn't happen, and if I hadn't got some freelance money today the bank would be dunning me about overdrawing my overdraft.)
I don't even know if I'm eligible to apply for Jobseeker's Allowance in my present in-between state. I need to find out, because without it the lights probably don't get to stay on in April.
Sigh. Life would be so much easier with a working printer. And a light box. And a job, if my brain weren't so broken right now that thinking is hard.
Or maybe patronage.
Talking about money is crass. But good lord, it's frustrating. And anxious-making.
