Tomorrow morning I move in with someone in South Pasadena ending my sojourn in the valley. But I still have things to process so I will continue to post until I think I'm done. As I continue to work with the homeless, I doubt the insights will end. I will probably also take a deeper look into topics I've already brought up. This is in keeping with the sense that I'm not really creating another home as much as I've reached a point where I can afford to pay for a place to lay my head at night - and that only through favorable circumstances as i will be paying well under market for my room & utilities. I've not really found a home as much as taken steps towards rejoining society, albeit a bit wiser. Call it the end of season one.
The past two weeks sleeping in my car have been interesting. If I still had the Miata I don't know if I could have dealt with it. The mercedes has been quite comfortable. But it's taken a bit of scrounging around to maintain things like wifi-access, maintaining a regular restroom schedule, etc. One of my future posts will detail a week and what it takes to survive in one's car.
For now, I expect to decompress a bit; spend some time reacquainting myself with my desktop computer, finally getting a chance to fix my main laptop, etc. and sleeping in just because I can. But not for too long; season two is just around the corner.
