I am past the three month mark on becoming homeless and it’s been an interesting time for me on many levels. Overall, I good learning experience and one full of information that I can use in my writings when I finally get a chance to write again. I’ve meet many interesting people along the way, homeless and not homeless that have taught me a few things as well.
Today, I meet a fellow storage unit renter who lost her home in the Bastrop fires last September. What she has left is in three storage units here and she is working hard to reduce it down to two units to help save money. Most of what she has was given to her after the fire through donations; she has very little left of personal items. I know her feeling of lost as I have been there once before.
The only concern I have is that she ‘believes’ that I am living in my storage unit and she does know that I run the extension cord out my door. She too wants to do the same so that she can use her PC and try to get her life back on track. I’m concerned that she will say something or be careless about using the electricity during business hours, the time that I make a point not to. I just don’t want any additional reason or suspicion to come down on me and my use of the unit. Right now, I just can’t lose the use of it. I also can’t deny her the use of what I am using for she too needs it to some extent, though she has a motel room that she is calling home for now that FEMA is paying for. I wish I had that…lol
All I can do is sit back and watch what happens, and trust that it will all work out for both of us.
Life goes on…I go on
