DAY FOUR
Scrambled around most of the day, packing, clearing, stressing out. Sure that any minute now, They were gonna come put a lock on my door. Missed the trip to the id place. Finally I tracked down the mgr, who was very vague and dismissive. Well I'm sorry.. ! I didn't mean to ask you things that would require an answer. Heavens forbid anybody should require you to, you know, actually do your job...
I tried hitting up the website of the Southeastern Louisiana Legal Service. I learned that one cannot contact a human being just to ask them some questions (like, can the owner of a hotel kick out long term residents during an emergency rent freeze situation). One has to actually submit a request for legal assistance, and name names. And then, it still takes between 2-5 days for them to email back. Which would be too late.
On the news, Mayor Cantrell issued a mandatory stay at home order. All nonessential businesses closed, or face fines and risk losing licences. So of course now I'm worried about whether the id place is an essential business or not.
I packed, I cleaned.
I ordered a pizza with Google Pay money.
I booked a reading for Sunday.
And then, my friend Elaina, one of my oldest and dearest, added $200 to my Gofundme. Holy fuckshit! Then I guess she must have shared my Gfm because a woman I don't even know put in $50.. I could actually pay my rent, providing the mgr would wait until Gfm completes the withdrawal process, which now is saying the 28th. Guess I'll try to speak with him again tomorrow.
