11/1/2014 4 Comments A Great Two Days Of ChangeYesterday (Friday) I received my first paycheck! I do not care for bills but it's nice to pay one. (how ever late) I was in desperate need of socks. I went to Modells near Fulton street to but boots and socks. I didn't see the boots I needed but I was so happy to have socks. I only bought one pair because I know I had so much more to do. I stopped at a local bar near the shelter to get a burger and fries and map out my plans for Saturday.
After two failed attempts at finding one with available outlets to charge my phone I ran into a small bar on Jackson Blvd. Mind you, I worked 12 hours with only 3 breaks and none of them were over 30 minutes. I still stretched out my usual turkey sandwich on a roll, cheetos, 2 granola bars and water for my meal of the day. I was ravenous when I looked at the menu. I don't think clearly when I'm that hungry. I only saw soups, beers and appetizers. I orders cheese fries and fish tacos. The fries were ok but it was a small portion. It had a light sprinkling of cheese but was topped with a nice Pico de Galo sauce. (spelled right?) The 3 fish tacos were ok. Mine are better. Theirs could have used a sauce or at least sour cream. It wasn't until I finished eating and asked to see the menu again that I noticed that there was a back end. lol I hadn't even thought to flip the damn thing over. I just went for the first things I saw. I was barely satisfied but decidec I could live with it. Upon checking into the shelter for the night I informed the manager to that I would need boxes to move. 3 hours later I had to have security radio her because I hadn't received them yet. (so irritated). I lightly packed some bags and went to bed. SATURDAY Moving day! I am now living in a room a totally different part of Queens! Did little crap happen to piss me off before I left? Yes. Didnt care though. IM LEAVING THESE BITCHES! I was promised linen for my new bed and bed bug covers by the housing coordinator manager but I only got half of that. I got a sheets for a twin bed but it's a full size. The blanket they gave me is worse than the ones the issue, it's thin enough that light goes through it and I didn't get the bed bug covers. That last part irritated my landlord since she specifically asked that I have that. We made it work. I took the mattress cover off of the bed in the empty room and fit the bed almost halfway with sheets. lol It looks a mess. lol but im safe and warm. I spent too much money for the little food stuffs that I bought. At breast my food stamps kick back in next couple of days. I will definitely run out of this little stuff by then. I am SHELTER FREE!!!!!! I WOULD add pics but Weebly is tripping.
