I am not sure what I’m doing, but hope it turns out well…
Thanks for the help!! Me and the girls are having a great time. ❤️

Well folks,
I have to move out of this shelter by June 1st.
The other shelters in this city are dangerous. Rife with drug use and crime. Just this week there was a multiple victim stabbing at one of them.

Elaine and her sweet little nephew spoiled me tonight with this awesome cake that Bill picked out. He sang Happy Birthday to me and helped blow out the candles. Him and I got the biggest, corner pieces...lol.
This was a healing moment for me.

The mentality that I’m a burden is roooted in the idea that “I’m not your problem to have to solve, I have to sort things out for myself by myself.”

You’re not a burden because you’re not a problem. You’re a human being going through things as a human being. And the right ones will walk it with you

Hi y'all.
I have a birthday coming up.
On Thursday.
It's bittersweet. I've made it through another year. And fought hard to do so.
It cost me in loss of strength and mobility.
If you are feeling generous, or would like to bless me as a group, here's a wish...

Her mother tried really hard to keep me away, but she continually underestimates my commitment to my children.
This kid turned 5 on Saturday.
Elaine and I picked her up today to celebrate. A trip to Costco for an Easter dress and iced cream cone and an afternoon of cuddles on the couch with her dad!

Here's something positive.
For about two months now, Elaine and I have been hosting "dysfunctional family dinner".
Armand and Kris, friends I made at the shelter who have found permanent housing, come over each Saturday or Sunday evening and the four of us eat together and hang out. It's really nice

It's my daughter's birthday today. I've been trying all morning to get her mother to have her video chat with me.
Her mother keeps making up excuses to prevent this.
I know this is intentional. Trying to manipulate a five year old.
Her mother will prevent this interaction and then blame me.
😡🤬😥😢

Think Canada is a socialist utopia of universal health care and government assistance?
Think again...
The third floor social worker here at the shelter told me yesterday that I can't have a mobility scooter in the building.
Although our government will help pay for one, they won't let me use it...+

It's my baby girls birthday tomorrow. She'll be 5.
Her mother has taken the kids phone away, called the police to get them to tell me I am not allowed to enter their house, and made plans to take my daughter bowling to celebrate my dad's birthday and hers. He won't acknowledge my existence.
I am +

So....I gave my kids a phone so that they could keep in contact with me. I spoke with them last week about the changes to my health and mobility. They are concerned.
But their mother took their phone away from them.
She told me it became a problem...
The problem is that she and my family and their +

Life can be hard some days.
If you are feeling this way, turn up the sound to full, and play this a few times.
It sure helps me feel a bit better.
I hope it helps you too.

Here's something positive to add to my previous post.
I've been made to feel like a burden and complainer by people close to me.
I'm used to figuring stuff out on my own and was prepared to take a long bus trip to my doctor's appointment in another city. Until Elaine took a day off work so that she+

A side effect of having to cut ties with my family of origin has been loneliness. I have 5 siblings still alive and living locally. Plus both of my parents.
And right now I am very worried about my health and future and just wish I could share that with them.
A pain flare has lasted too long and +
March 17, 2025 at 6:49 PM
Day two of this pain flare. I am getting pretty tired of this tiny room!!
I'm also out of money and could use some more help getting through the rest of this month.
Please help if you are able.

This morning I woke up in extreme pain. The type where it's hard to breathe.
I've been basically stuck in my bed in this tiny room and it kinda sucks.
And is making me feel very alone.
Why is my stupid body trying to take me out??!!
March 14, 2025 at 5:48 PM
It's been a long winter for me. Full of darkness.
But with spring on its way comes new growth.
For the earth. And for me.
I've survived my worst days so far.
They can only get better. Right?
March 12, 2025 at 7:40 PM
I could really use your help this month. I had some bills to pay and have used up my monthly income from welfare.
I have a negative bank balance currently.
Even a few dollars will go a long way. Please help if you can.

It feels really good knowing that I will get out of this shelter soon.
It might be a couple of weeks or more.
In the meantime...
I'm all out of money. And still homeless.
Here's my PayPal link if you'd like to help for a bus pass and other essentials.

Guess what?
I met with the intake coordinator at the YMCA yesterday.
We spoke a bit about the facilities and supports available and she got to know me a little.
And then told me that I will be getting a room there!!
I'm meeting my housing worker later today to get the paperwork started!

Empathy isn’t harmful.

I went to my daughter's school play this evening. It was at the church that recently excommunicated me.
My youngest was sitting with her mom and her mom's friend. I went to say hello. My daughter tried to get out of her seat to hug me and this friend grabbed her and held her telling me I can't have+

Out of curiosity, I added up the days that I have been sober.
December 15, 2012 was the day I had my last drink.
I'm at the end of day 4,457.
Homeless.
Poor.
Depressed.
Still sober!
February 28, 2025 at 2:57 AM
I'd like to share some hopeful news. I haven't been able to hope for anything better lately, but this is something with a real possibility of actually happening.
I've been able to secure an application for housing at the YMCA in our downtown core.
They provide men's rooms with access to their+
