LUCKY LITTLE DUCKY
things have been working out in my favor recently. first off, i got a job. a real job!!! and it was so fast and easy. and i didn't have to sell my soul. and i'm keeping true to my morals and ideas. it's in a halfway house. it's perfect for me. it's not part of the system. i'm in the community. and it's run by a non profit organization. not the government!! the place is run in a manner that works perfect for me. my job title is a residential support worker. i am the only staff on at a time and i hangout in the office. i make detailed observations throughout the day and talk with the guys. i start training tomorrow. it took about a week before i could get in there because i've been working 40 hours at wonderbucks. i was hoping to get full-time right away so i could quit my other job, but no go as of yet. in time. and i start at $14 buckaroos an hour. i also know one of the residents from my volunteer group in mission. i wonder how many more guys i'll come across. so stoked.
i left my subleted room yesterday. johnny is back in town, so i'm out. i won't miss that house. but i'll miss my boys ronnie and sean. it works out because with all my training this week in surrey, i'm just going to live rent free with my mom. my dad is hunting so i get his room. it's fucking glorious. i have my own room!!! with an actual bed!! not a piece of foam on the floor. and my own tv!! with cable!!! i'm fucking excited. i'll be here in white rock until the weekend when i have to go back to vancouver for my other job. i may be able to sleep in a friends bed for a week while he is away on a trip. then it will be back to whiterock for a final week. but i'll be saving so much money here. no rent. not much to do where i would normally piss my money away. get to drive my mom's car out to work. today we spent the day in langley together. strange. she took me to old navy and bought me clothes. she spent $210 of her own money on me. then we went grocery shopping and she bought all my groceries. then we had lunch together. maybe she loves me afterall.
i found a place for november 1st. a real place. i will finally be able to set up shop. i have been living in transit and out of a backpack for 5 months. that blows my mind. it is in a cute yellow house. there were three rooms opening up. i've taken one. if all the others are filled, my rent will be $225. fuck yah. that's in vancouver. in an entire house. with two kitchens. the room i'm taking is huuuuge. so i can fit a lot of shit in it. the goal is to take as much as i can fit to make it more like a mini house. because if all rooms are filled, it means there won't be a living room. so i need to make my room as liveable as i can. i will definately be able to fit one of my couches in it. party.
