[QUOTE="Lil, post: 643327, member: 17309"] So, tonight was another night of near chaos. He wanted a blanket and to "talk". Turns out he had left all his clothes etc., at the shelter when he went to the place he's staying, said there hadn't been room. I guess he meant in the car. So I go get him, take him to the shelter to get his stuff, bring him to our house (I'm trying to stop referring to it as "home" when I talk to him, using "our house" instead.) He had the big suitcase and a big bag so I suggested he consolidate and just take his warm clothes and leave the other things here for now and he can get them later when he's more settled. He asked if he could do some laundry this weekend and just kind of hang out one day. I figure that would be acceptable...on a limited basis. Mostly though, he sat and sadly looked at his suitcase and made a few noises about how he has nothing. I simply said, "Well, when you get paid, you can find a place to rent and then you can have stuff." I must admit to again being worried about that. I doubt his check will be big enough for first and last months rent and utility deposits. With really no time to lose, he finally is ready to go and can't find his badge for work. He left it at the house he's staying at. I rush (breaking several speed limits) and get him there and to work maybe 1-2 minutes late. He says he was 1/2 hour late last night and the woman wants to fire him. I finally told him, "For heaven's sake you wouldn't be the only person to be fired." Of course, everything is worst case scenario with him...we have that in common. If he gets fired his life is over...he can't stay where he's staying without a job. He'll be on the streets. Blah, blah, blah. Breathe... In and out. Why did I quit smoking? I'm glad I haven't stopped drinking. [/QUOTE]
