Almost every day I took off walking looking for work, I found a few places and put in a application in about six places, a few asked me to come in a few days later for a interview, after a few hours of walking around i kindof got lost went some back street and just was going in circles.lol. so i just called a uber and got me a ride back to my apartment, there was nothing to do for a few days, so i mostly stayed im my room watching netflix. at times i would go out to make lunch or the woman would just want to chat a bit ,telling me how her life was great a long time ago until her crash, she lived in another state made good money , had her own place, then she lost it all when she after the crash , she wasnt the same after that, then she moved here to start over but was still having a hard time. a few times she even told me she was wanting to end it. that is one reason i didnt want to be around her the way she was always depressed, though i did talk to her and tried to help her at times ,going to the story with her, help her with some bills she could not pay at that time, different things like that, The next few days i went to my interview but they told me that ,they aready hired someone a day be fore me. but i will be next . so i left and was getting hungry at that time and went to a place called big boy , and got me something to eat there. then went back to my place , told the woman what happened and said i will go out tomorrow and look more. then went back to my room and started to search online for new places to live, i knew that i didnt have much more time to live there.
Month: January 2020
Part 3
The next day at the motel, I decided to start not only looking for a job but a new place to live even if it was with someone and on Facebook, I found a page called Roomster it was people that were either looking for roommates in your area and price range, so I started to look and got a few replies and found this one that the pic of the woman wasn’t that bad looking and even though it was a little much, I thought if I get the place for a month I should have a job by then, the area was maybe 5 miles from me, the woman and me set up to meet at her place and when I saw her I thought it was her grandmom, nope it was her not the woman in the pic, lol. but I knew I could not be too picky so we talked for a bit and decided that she wanted me as a roommate I just needed to pay her upfront and a little deposit I think, it has been an about two years now but anyways, she showed me my room and it had its own bathroom the place was beautiful and large, her rent was due and she was short half the money but I could not move in until I got some info for the front office but I went ahead and gave her the money to help her with the rent, a few days later I got the info I needed for the front off and then my last day at the motel I left a few days before my end day and they gave me half my money back because I didn’t stay the whole week, with all that has happened to me until this point I put my faith into Gods’ hand, I wasn’t all that worried I knew he would help me and he did. I had a large duffle bag and backpack that had all my stuff if I had to guess all of it was about 50 pounds I carried with me. so I got a uber driver and they took me to the woman’s address. When I got there she invited me in and showed me my room again, I didn’t unpack but put my stuff in the corner. went into the front room where she was and we chat for a bit, she was telling me a bit about herself. then shortly I said to her I need to shower and do my clothes. when I got done with all of that I went to my room and relaxed the rest of the day, I also locked my door, just in case. I started to watch some shows on my iPad until I fell asleep.
Part 3
The next morning , I got a cab to take me to the shelter. once I got there the place was large , I went into the place and the person at the front desk asked me how he can help, I told him that I need a place to sleep that I have no place ,he gave me some papers to to fill out , after about half an hour I gave it to him and I had to let him go through my stuff and the only thing he kepted was after shaving lotion. He then told me that I would have my own person to help me but she was on break but in the mean time he told me that , I can not ever leave my stuff there I have to take it with me all the time and when I sleep I had to sleep with my shoes on, after he told me a few more thing like when to be there at night before I was locked out, jobs to do everyday different things like that. then the woman came in and I meet up with her she asked me a few questions to put into her computer, things like what I want there if I was sick or need medical help after about an hour it was lunch time she told me to go to another building and where to go, Then I went there to have some lunch then back to the place I was going to stay . a few people was sitting around ,I found a place to sit and was listen to a few people talking to each other about just getting out of prison and some was wanting to try and get some drugs from others there. after I heard talks like this for a while I knew this place wasn’t for me. I wanted to a place I could feel safe and be able to rest with no worries, So I called a cab again and had then take me to a place called extended stay motel, where I could pay by the week , I got there and paid for a week. after I signed in and dropped my stuff off I went out to explore the area a bit and went to two temp services to get a job but they had nothing at the time ,then I went out to eat before I went back to my room for the night.
New Start part 2
When I got to Kentucky it was late so I got a cab to the closest motel and stayed a night or two, checking things out like where the storage area was ,the shelter was from me. the first day I went to the storage area and my storage pod was there for me to unload , the got it as close to my storage unit as they could but it was still a few hundred feet away. I know it don’t seem like that far but with some of my items I had I felt like a long trip back and forth, but one of my items was a table with wheels on it and I just stacked what It as next to mine it seem like he was just looking at his stuff but he had a hand cart and said I could us it to get my stuff , so that helped a lot about two hour of getting my stuff in to my unit , I thank the older man and asked if he needed any help , he did not. Then I went to the office and bought a lock for my unit and paid a month ahead, called the cab and when back to my motel room, to shower and relax. My plans for the next day was to sign out of the room and go to the shelter to stay for a bit , but for the rest of the day I went and got me something to eat and just relaxed rest of the day and night.
