On Being Homeless
I'll back-date and post the details another time, but I got back into my apartment last night after about 4 days of fire-related homelessness. It probably could have come at a better time.
The whole ordeal made me realize I'm woefully under-staffed in the friends department. I remember standing outside at 1:30 a.m. Thursday night with my dog and my laptop - and having no clue who to call or where to go. And I was on foot, even.
Fortunately, my ex-girlfriend is a saint, and kept me for a few days while I waited on getting my apartment back.
So I have decided to make a concerted effort to start meeting people. As many people as I can. As many ways as I can. I don't want to find myself in future situations with no place to go, and nobody to call.
