Day 3 (Monday) D3

Monday, January 30th, 2023

Today we we shocked people were on site when I woke up at 6 AM. We thought no one was there until 7:30 AM. All well. We moved and slept until 8:30 AM. (We heard these people are only here Monday through Wednesday.) Then we went to the YMCA and worked out. When showering I discovered that female nudity in the locker room was very normal.

Then we got some food from Safeway. And hung out at the beach. When it was not raining, we quickly vacuumed out the car (cat was safe in her carrier).

I got told I did not get the administrative assistant job, but that job was in a BAD area in Honolulu. I did get invited to a panel interview for the job I really want (resident assistant) … they get to live for free on the property. This is the job I really need.

I am very tired.

Day 2 … Night 3 (D2 and N3)

Monday, January 30th, 2023

Well … Sunday. I probably slept as much as Dave through church service. The church had its membership meeting afterwards. Dave is a member. The church had tried an imu the night before, but the weather was so bad the members decided to crook pot. So Sunday, I had two HUGE servings of imu and great coffee. (Then, I had my first bowl movement in 3 days.)

We left the meeting early because the YMCA closes early on Sunday– gotta get that shower.

Then we went and did a load of laundry. It was raining sideways through most of it … as mother would say: raining kitty cats amd doggies.

Afterwards, I took Dave to like a Longs. There I found the best travel shampoo containers. This let us add smaller amounts to the YMCA bags and store the bigger products in the drawers.

Living out of the car seems to be 90% prep.

night: I wake up whenever the cats poops. Twice so far tonight. I simply chuck her fecal matter as far as possible away from the vehicle with the litter scoop. But we have had NO ISSUES with her not using the litter box. She was not using one at all in the place where we temporarily re-homed her.

I have only had to pee once tonight so far. Far better than 5 last night.

…. Today, we move the car at 6AM and then … I told Dave… we are going to sleep more before the YMCA. Sleep seems to be our biggest need right now. We are getting it in spurts of a few hours.

Night 2 (N2)

Sunday, January 29th, 2023

So far, so good.

My fever that was earlier broke when I slept for 5 hours. Dave said I slept through fireworks.

Brook (the cat) used her litter box to poop and pee. I am thrilled. I was worried because she was trying to lay in it beforehand.

So far … she hasn’t tried to escape. I’m gonna do something crazy like try to leash and harness train her while she is in the car. ….. hahahaaaaa

I snore. Loudly …

…. oh, I am on Dave’s cell phone plan now (same cell phone number). It has unlimited data.

And I know how to get into the bathroom. Phew …

Day 1 (D1)

Saturday, January 28th, 2023

We were up at 4AM. We went to Target and then worked out at the YMCA.

I have not decoded their shower system yet, but warm hot water was amaxing. We bought storage containers to fut in the car. Then we downsized all out stuff in the car. Now everything is in a bin and reachable. I bought a warm night suit.

Brook (the cat) drank water and is loving being pet.

Jerry told us to text the guy with the emergency housing. We did. No response.

I bought Nyquil … cause yeah.

We cleaned laundry. And we will probably run a dryer load after every YMCA — towel drilling issues.

We are getting shown the spare bathroom key lpckbox tonight. (As the guy with the key is house sitying the next two weeks and is noy going to be around.) That should help me survive …. and not have to repeat last night. Please God … may I never have to repeat last night.

Night 1 (N1)

Saturday, January 28th, 2023

So there are 5 of us in this parking lot.

Bonus: There is a bar across the road behind us, so no cop disturbing. It is also very quiet.

Bad: the guy with the bathroom key is house sitting these next two weeks … and is not here.

other bad … it is 3 AM. I have to pee. YMCA doesn’t open until 8 AM.

Other bad: I am on my ladies time. However, we are on lists for emergency shelters.

Pray for me…

there is a mosquito …
