I know it isn't March yet but I have to put something in here. I will be back in March.
Hi. Holy shit huh? 9 MONTHS since I have been in here. It's a long store and I should explain a little bit about it. I have written allot over the past 2 months but nothing before that and nothing after March.
I did it again. I went on a drinking spree which had landed me into an odd situation. My downstairs neighbor had an electrical fire on August 1. (starters) Before that thought I was just sitting around looking for work and drinking. Times were tough. When the fire happened the Fire Department came and so did the Building Inspector. Even though the fire was a small fir in the bathroom which could have been put out, everyone had to come and deal with it. It was 7:30 AM and I was woken up to smoke and noise, hungover and not sure what was happening. Firemen told me to exit the premises so I got dressed and went out. About an hour later I was allowed back into the apartment and went on with my business. It wasn't too too long after that when I was notified that the building was going to be condemned and I have to move out.
I didn't really care about it that much just as long as I had the money to drink. Silly boy. The landlord and the Red Cross were able to come up with some money and a hotel for a week where I stayed comfortably but all good things come to an end. I then ended up going camping because it was too expensive to stay at the hotel. Go figure that the camp ground was closing down for the season. I had to move on and move out of the apartment by the end of the month anyway so I packed my things and left. I talked to the landlord and they provided a key to the apartment where I said I was going to pack and move my things. I didn't tell them that I would be staying/sleeping there too. That worked out for a couple of weeks. I stayed at the apartment and slowly everything got shut off. The Electricity was out, no cable, no gas, and no heat. Thankfully it was August and it was warm.
One night after a good night of sitting around, talking on the phone in candlelight, I had gone to sleep and was comfortable. One AM the Police show up and apparently I hadn't locked the door. (dumb ass) They came in with flashlights and woke me up and let me leave with no trespassing charges. Now I had no place to go, was drunk and half asleep. I walked around the block and went back to the apartment and slept under the stairs. NICE. In the morning I went and looked for the key to the apartment and it wasn't there. The landlord had it and I didn't know. So.... from that point on I took what belongings I had and went to the woods
where I stayed for many weeks. I drank and hung out until it was time to do something about it.
I went into a detox and then to a holding where I stayed for 2 more months. Sober and willing to get on with my life I left and Went to Marlboro. Now I am sitting around an apartment with no internet and am trying to find work. It's Wednesday and I have nothing to do but this at the moment.
Something I have learned again is that I can't drink and I need to remain grateful that I have friends and family to support me. I have no real complaints and just thought I would share this. I will try to post more but as for now, that is why I haven't been around.
Hi. I am here with nothing to say. I called over to TSS and got the answering machine, it's Friday and they are at dinner. I keep forgetting to call during the day. OH! That reminds me that I have to call my mom. Bye.
