"Just another manic Monday."
I had a appointment today at a housing corporation in Almelo, I had to be there at 10:45. Usually Paula would go with me but her schedule was full, another staff member was comming with me, her name is Melissa. I know Melissa, she was the one who opened the door for me and guided me around when I first came here. The rain came down like crazy this morning when we had to go, we decided to take the bus, Melissa's idea. The appointment was for to see what more options I have for living in Almelo and what more chances there are for me, the searching for houses here is going to slow. The lady where I had the appointment with told me that the house market is very poor at the moment.
She asked me what the reason was why I lived at Humanitas, and I told her why, she wanted to know me a bit more I guess. I told her aswell that I payed all my bills and guilts, and that I'm all settled to live on my own. The house market was locked, everything is full, I will have to wait said the lady, she explained why. The most chance I have is to just get a room, or a flat, for a flat without central heating I will have to wait a half year, and a flat with central heating a year. A half year isn't that long but I can't wait a half year, the limit of staying at Humanitas is nine months.You can get some extra time for a few months but hmm, in my case, I don't know. I need a bit of luck aswell.
I need to get out of here, the municipality of Almelo wants me to move out of Humanitas, cause I'm doing to well in there eyes. And you know what? I want to get out of here aswell, I'm done here too in my eyes, the people here are not my kinda people. Even the staff of Humanitas is telling me this, my time is almost up anyway. Three more months then I'm here already nine months. What will happen after the nine months? I don't know, I'm just a tiny bit worried of that. I need to find more options for searching for houses, perhaps searching in other citties aswell. I will discus this in my next appointment with Paula tomorrow at 2:00pm.
I think it's not healty to stay long here at Humanitas, you might get attached to much. That's the way I see it. I have been trough so many things here, and that does something to you. I do my daily stuff here aswell, cooking, laundry, washing and cleaing, etc, etc, but it's just so different when you do the same things when you have a living for yourself. Anyway,time to get to work, search for a house, and prepair of saying goodbye. The situation here is a bit slightly different here, I get along with everyone well, but sometimes I feel there's a little argue comming up with Ina. At the moment I kinda dislike her cause of the way she pays attention on all the things I say or do, it's annoying. She has a eleven year old Daughter aswell, I still have to have her first kind word towards me.
Yeah, it's time to go... Being on myself is what I want, I'm ready. Time for the next step towards happiness! It will be way better to live on my own and have my own things, I will be nervous for my next step though. I guess I will be fine.

Hopefully things will work out as far as housing goes. You are probably the least troublesome person they have ever had there!
I know what you mean about the people there. I've deal with people like that in homeless shelters I've lived in. I got attacked by a woman in one in NJ! And almost had my son attacked by a kid at the one I lived in here.
You have friends all over the world now, don't forget!
I'm sure you will get your life on track soon. You have come a long way Sjon!
Hugs!

I get the hear this almost every month from the Humanitas staff that I'm the least troublesome person around here, and that's nice to hear. Yeah shelters aren't a nice place to stay when your homeless, but it's better then living on the street. Sometimes there are bad moments but aswell good moments.
It's good to have friends Anisah, I hope we can meet one day, (who knows) Thanks for the comment, I precieed it. Hugs back!
