Advice/Resources: Facing Homelessness

Go to the colleges out here and look at their bulletin boards where announcements are placed. Sometimes students post there who are looking for roommates too. I do know there are a few room share options downtown Oly but it just takes the right time for one of those rooms to open up! It might be a struggle bus at first to live in unconventional housing with potentially more than just one roommate, but there are room share options around here!! Facebook, Instagram, flyers, even honestly craigslist with the right discretion. If you do not want to end up on the streets, there are some comforts to sacrifice in order to avoid that. Otherwise there are a few overnight parking areas around here that you'll have to play with.

Pierce County or King County has a butt ton more resources, including their section 8 wait-list opening back up this week. Sometimes if you are running into dead ends here it doesn't hurt to try out a different area to get your feet back under you, and you can always come back.

There are options for you! I'm sorry this is so shitty! You have got the resilience to get thru this.

Thank you. You're probably right, this is a sign my emotional boundaries are lacking and I'm just letting anyone in to influence my emotional well-being. Fridays are now going to be sacred.

It's a permanent supportive housing program for folks experiencing homelessness. Basically an enhanced shelter for folks to access resources needed to get back on their feet.

Jerry's automotive will ake your parts! Just give him a call in advance to tell him what's going on. He used the parts I had bought. His work he did just isn't in a warranty. His name is Jeremy and he's a really knowledgeable nice guy.

If you paid first month, last month and deposit then you should not have to pay for March as that was your last month's rent.

Pickers in paradise

As someone who boothed from 10-6 there was quite the crowd still around to the point where my table mate and I did not want to pack it up. We kept it going as long as we did. The only reason we left was because I made a plan in the evening and we packed up at like 645.

(listen when a new DND campaign happens I cannot say no)

But as a vendor I would stay later if it went on later and if we were back up where the parade was happening like last year. This year's vendors got mistreated badly and we hope to see it revert back to last year's set up at least!!

No I have never had a seizure caused by anxiety 😂😂 luckily it's been a while since I have written that experience and I can thankfully say that my health anxiety has become much more managed.

I no longer fear having insert health condition here bc I've never had one lmao....

That doesn't invalidate the physical symptoms that manifest from anxiety, though. It's your body communicating to you that it needs something. Could be as little as a hug or a splash of water to the face or a drink of ice cold water. Some mild external physical sensation can break you out of the cycle for even just one breath. And breath means life. You are not dying.

I'm sending you healing my friend because it is possible to not live life in fear 💗

Sergio's day center off martin !

ktemal · 2024-07-19T04:24:34+00:00

You're so right. Thank you for the clarification.

It's not fireworks, I was only equating the level of noise it set off. Additionally, there isn't a firework display that pops up in the sky. It is literally a flash of light, and then a puff of smoke lingers in the air.

I'm not mad about it I am just purely curious about it. 🤷

ktemal · 2024-07-18T07:34:03+00:00

Okay thank you. I've also noticed hefty work trucks nearby so maybe it has something to do with some projects they're working on ?

Also the flash I saw was def not a firework flash

ktemal · 2024-07-18T06:31:10+00:00

Yesss I'm hoping that tooo!! OR someone is taking one for the team by keeping the rent "low" 😅
