I finally socialized!

Well, this past weekend, I finally went out and saw some friends. It was the first time I'd done that since the eviction and let me tell ya, it felt GOOD! I truly saw how much of a friend I am to people and how much they enjoy my company. I wish my sister had gotten out, since she turned 21 but that was her choice. But I truly found favor: I got to eat and got my car filled with gas plus more people are praying for me and my family. I sincerely hope that I can repay the favors one day. I'm also optimistic in the fact that I'm going to apply in person to a job on campus. No one is checking the email and I don't want that position to pass me by. My sister is in school now and I'm praying that she can stay and it would mean so much if she completes her degree and I gain employment at the university. I have alot of hope and that's due to the people that are truly my friends. They have been a true blessing for me and I understand now what the homily I heard in Mass was about. Sometimes you have to be humbled to rise.

So I had an interview...

So, about 12hrs ago I had a job interview. This is the first interview that I've had in over a year! I've had about two other interviews scheduled but when I researched the companies (which I should have done prior to scheduling the interviews), I found out that they were hacks. So you can imagine that I was nervous. I'm not sure how well I did on the skills test but I feel confident about the interview itself. I'm going to send out a thank-you note as soon as I can. I hope and pray that I get hired and if I don't, I pray that God gives me the strength to move forward. I truly want to help my family and get myself back into my own apartment. I found a nice place I want to move to and everything about it is great: makes my previous residence seem like a dump! But everything has a place...
...And so does everyone. I feel that I've outgrown one of my intimate guy friends. He was fun but I don't think I'll be getting naked with him again anytime soon...I don't like him like I like Brown. Now Brown and I haven't spoken since my birthday but hopefully we'll reconnect. I know he's going through his own issues but I hope he hasn't found anyone new. I miss him but I don't want him to know about my present hardship. I can wait until I'm back on my feet. But I'm leaving Dread alone. I'll pay him and Baldy their money back of course, but I'm not interested in casual sex or dating someone I'm not serious about. It's time I grow up.

So I have an interview

Well, I'm still homeless but there is hope. I have a job interview this upcoming Monday. Now its with a company that I barely understand what it is that they do, and I'm not sure if I can do the work, but they did call me and set up an interview, so I won't question things. If its for me to do, I'm sure I'll be anointed and learn on the job. I want to help my family get back on its feet but seriously, my ultimate goal is to get my own place again. But I'll wait until everyone is settled. Thankfully, I didn't have to go the route I was planning on, but that job is still an option but its at the bottom of my list.

I want my family to be happy again and I really, really, really want my privacy and independence back. It will happen, by the grace of God and my own determination.

I can't remember

Ok, I'm not sure how many days it has been but it is nearing a month that my family and I have been homeless. I just don't understand this...We got a hotel room for a few days, then went to live with my uncle for about 2.5 weeks. It was ok, except that he lives way out in nowhere, he has roaches, we had to sleep on the floor, and his dog kept scratching. Now we're in an extended-stay hotel but I hear we don't have enough money for another week....I don't know what to do...we'll, I have an idea but I hope it pans out in enough time. I don't want to jinx it by speaking (or typing) it, so I'll just keep my mouth closed...wish me luck!
