"Days like this should be always with Autumn."

"Days like this should be always with Autumn."

I was about to make a photoalbum of nice self made Autumn pictures, but I could not find a nice spot to take these pictures. The last three days the weather was just awesome, awesome Autumn weather. Sun was shinning, not cold and a clear blue sky, perfect! Next week the weather forecast forespelled frost in the morning, just like the last three days it was cold in the morning aswell. I had to go to Hengelo (City) for a appointment with Sahayo, my new counselor. For a change I had to go to him, I didn't mind. Sahayo and I (mostly Sahayo) were planning to buy a TV in Hengelo, there's a huge electronic store where you can buy anything what has to do with electronic. This store is huge, and it's only a half a kilometer from Ikea. It's been a while since I was in Hengelo, I kinda looked forward to seeing it again. I had to be at Sahayo's place at 10:30,  I arrived in Hengelo at 9:45.

It was a short ride with the train, guess it was only a 15 minute ride. The train station was huge, that sure changed alot. It went from small to enormous, I really like the pink neon light walls. I headed to Sahayo, I had a small clue where to go but other then that, no. I knew the street and the number, I used Google maps yesterday and that helpled me. I had to go to Humanitas in Hengelo, Sahayo works there. I found the place in ten minutes. (Hooray for Google maps!) I walked in towards the Humanitas office and told the lady behind the desk that I had a appointment with Sahayo, the lady told me I had to be across the street from here, he will be there. The lady walked with me outside and pointed out where I had to be. It was an old store and once I was there, I looked out my eyes. It was a kind of a place where homeless people can do a 'day activity,' painting,  making stuff, cooking, you name it.

The place felt comfy and warm, it's a nice place to be. Sahayo was there aswell and showed me around, I liked the old furniture what the homeless people prepaired and make it kinda arty. It made me think off the time I lived on my own, and the time where I'm living now. I saw so many things and qent trough so many things the last three years,although some things were though and difficult, it makes me happy and aware aswell that sitting at home and let life just come over me isn't a good thing. I need to get out and explore things, go out and see people. It was time to go to the electronic store, Sahayo and I took off and we arrived at the store in ten minutes, while driving we talked about what all happened this week. Me having a new job, me being locked out of my house, etc, etc. It was a bit of a hectic week. Sahajo has been busy to with things for me. 

He has been investigating on my monthly income, he called Gak, that's the place where I get my monthly income from and he asked them all kind of questions. I was happy with that, cause in my head it was a bit of a mess with Gak,it felt like a  like a maze or a puzzle. But it's all straighten out now, every month I will just get my money where I have my right on. That will not change till I'm 65, even when I work with a contract this company still will pay me out every month. Ofcource I will get more money when I work with a contract then now without a contract, that's the law in Holland. Where I'm happy with is when I heared that everything with Gak is all settled now, they pay me out every month, and they pay me out on my ING account, I feel relieved! The electronic store wasn't so busy, and that's a good thing. All the way in the end of the store I could already see a waterfall of TV's, big ones small ones, every kind of TV was present.

I saw already a TV what I liked, but I looked around a bit more. There was one TV that costed 25000 Euro!! Not in 25000 years I would buy such a TV, that TV was enormous, I bet it was even bigger then my front door. I think it's a waste of money buying such a TV, but okay. I went back to the TV I saw first and asked some information about this TV, I liked it, and it wasn't that expensive. I already had a price in my head what the TV may cost when I buy one. I didn't wanna go higher then 350 Euro, below that price is fine with me. The TV I liked costed 345 Euro, and In bought it. I signed some papers, warrenty, I payed the store, and Sahayo and I carried the box into the car. I got a TV!!! Woot! I was happy with it! Driving back to my house Sahayo told me that the weather was so nice, and it was. Arrived at my house we both drank a coffee, and went trough some things what still needed to be done. My weekly homework, lol.

When I first picked up my house keys from the housing corporation I recieved a free membership for the libary in Almelo aswell . That has been almost a month now, I almost forgot about that though, Sahayo ordered me (with a smile) to go to the libary and look and sniff around there. Further... in every resedential area there's always something to do for the citizens in that area. Every resedential area has a sort of a social club or a meeting club. Where the citizens in that area can do something, like a activity, a cursus or a sport, anything. I told Sahayo a few weeks ago that here in this area where I live has to be such a thing too, Sahayo and I decided that I will have a look where that is this comming week. Yeah and further, further not that much, everythings seems fine. Oh wait let me correct that, everything GOES fine. I'm doing fine aswell, here and there a litte bit worries about my job and still a bit afraid of not comming around with my money.

I'm aware of how fast it can go you can become homeless, I sure have such a different look on homeless people now aswell. It can overcome everyone, everyone! I was homeless, can I imagine that myself? When I think of it, no! But I was, wow! I don't know what to say. I must say it could have been badder, right? I don't know... I have seen people living on the streets though many of them, and all with there own stories. Also people who lived on the streets for almost ten years. It's very difficult to put such people again in houses, cause they don't know anything else then being homeless. Anyway, I can be proud of myself!
