It's been a maddening, stressful week especially since my self imposed deadline of getting out of Estelle's* house.
I've sent out about 17 resumes. I took the Income Maintenance Specialist test so that I can work as a food stamp caseworker but I failed miserably.
I met a guy who goes by "Ice Man" who works at the Information Desk of the State Office Building. He asked me out. I also met a guy named mr. almoni he told me to call him Mr. All Money! He lives 3 dorrs down from me on Keswick Road in the Hampden section of Baltimore city and is 98 years old! Remarkably he has lived at this same address since 1918!
After the security guard at the State ofc. building helped me with directions he gave me a hug. I talked to him while waiting on bus 27/he's very intelligent, fascinating great conversationalist.
On Thursday, I went to Raven Bookstore hoping to find some of my friends hanging out there and see if any of them can give me a ride to the Oregon Ridge Nature center but I had no luck.
I am literally jumping out of my skin, I can't concentrate and there is always some sort of obstacle to me finding work. I have just 70 bucks to my name and not a penny in food stamps
Henry from the Raven had me come over to his place so that I would listen to his poetry. He's a nice guy but intense. He dropped me at the Rotunda afterwards where I killed 7 hours! Hard to believe how much time I kill in that place.
Made a friend named "mark" who lives on Chestnut/just as sweet as can be. He took in a family once that is a tempting offer however I'm afraid to ask because I have already been in 2 very dangerous living situations and don't need any more trauma.
