It is 11pm and I’m at work

The shelter house was doing some kind of haunted plumbing acting n with sludge in the tubs and toilets. I strongly believe everyone deserves a clean place to pee and shower so we went to meet the Root Rooter guy at 8pm. He arrived at 9:15 pm. Dudes, I’m tired. I did 9 hours at […]

Look at my orchid, is it toxic?

Now, a zoom in close for a better look… Thank you. This orchid is so demanding and I feel like I can never keep it happy. If you have friends that you want to check in with, please ask them to examine my orchid also. Call 1-800- 799-7233 for the name of a really good […]

Thank you

Even the best of us who are happy healthy and will adjusted are feeling stressed out right now.

It is hard to socially isolate while homeless.

Partial payment of rent does not prevent you from being evicted unless you get a written agreement from your landlord or property manager. State and local eviction moratoriums do not prevent rent from being […]

Drama …

I had somebody knowingly expose me to COVID this week and so now I am on self isolation. Let me tell you how hard this is with a 9-year-old in the house who just is a love bug and she likes to hug and cuddle and kiss and I love it. Except now we can’t […]
