I have bought myself 2 more nights

I only had one more night here at the Crofton Inn meaning I would be homeless at check out time tomorrow. So saying I was feeling terrified was an understatement. But I took out every penny I own and was able to scrape together 2 more nights of security. I have been throwing all my loonies and toonies into my change purse for quite some time now. For any non-Canadians, these are $1 and $2 coins. It had been in my luggage for awhile as it was getting too heavy to carry. No wonder why,.. when I took it out to count I had $97 right there in change. I had another $200 set aside for food but I felt a roof over my head was more important at this point. I was still short until I remembered the man at the Church had given me money and sure enough it was the exact amount I needed. NowI had $300!!! Enough for two more nights of security. At this point in my journey I don't think too far ahead. Right now I have 3 nights total at the motel here so i am ok until Sunday at check out time (11:00am) If I haven't found anything after that,... then I will have to get seriously worried and may have to fly back home to Ontario and just stay someone there. Where?? I have no idea but it's much cheaper to be homeless in Ontario than it is in BC. This is such an expensive province to live for everything.

I have been making a few friends here. One has offered to help send some boxes back to Ontario for safe keeping for me as right now they are all the belongings I own. I can't carry them around town when I am homeless so I would feel much better if I could ship them home to Hayley or Kirk or someone. There are just 4 of them.

It's kind of sad that my whole life has been condensed down to 4 boxes and two suitcases.

I went for yet another walk on the boardwalk tonight. I found a stoner to roll some joints for me. I had weed and rolling papers but I can't roll as I dont' have the use of my right hand still. So they rolled me a few to tide me over for the next few days. I don't smoke a lot but I do need it for pain. I don't smoke it around the Inn just for respect to the two women who run it. I only smoke down on the boardwalk away from everyone. Although I have noticed here that everyone seems to smoke it. It's like a hippie community which is probobly why I fit in so well. I am a hippe - Peace, love and good 1970's music. If and when I finally get a permanant home I will bring out all of my 'hippie' tapestries to hang and my beads for the door. I don't have a lot to my name but what I have does show how much I love my 1970's and music. But right now I feel like I'm never going to be able to bring all that out again. But,... I must have faith,... faith that something will turn up soon.
