I finally got tired of friends providing me and my dog with shelter.
There was just no way I could accept it anymore. Not that there's a ungrateful bone in my body! Without the few friends in my life these last few weeks would have been impossable to get through. But during a conversation with a friend today I came to realize that having my own space (tempoary or otherwise) is my greatest need.
Sometimes Evil Geoffrey has managed to inflict a great deal of hurt on me, my life and my dog. But the most hurtful act has been that he took away any sense of stability and grounding I might have thought I had. What makes it worse is that he is fully aware of my great need to have a place to call home. Music also suffers because she has had to go everywhere with me and can't get comfy for too long.
Well, for the next week the both of us can get a little more comfortable because I've rented a room in the North Beach area of SF.
I am not sure where we will land this time next week but for now I've got a small room in the North Beach Hotel. The room is cute, clean and cheap. It also has cable tv and comes with a wireless internet connection.
So for now i've got some breathing room and by tomorrow it will be time to start looking for work and the filling up of my small but efficant riefridgerator.
So much to do and only I can do it.
BUT...
I shall get it done.
