I have found my favorite parking spot, now I just have to make sure that I don’t use it too often.

Last night was a little windy, not like the gale the other night, but breezy. My camper was much snugger. The caulking has helped.

Chem class was good. I missed a bit but not too much. Sometimes, for whatever reason, words stop getting translated in my brain and turn into just sounds. I know they’re supposed to have meaning but they don’t. It’s very frustrating because I never know how long it’s going to last. And because I miss whatever the instructor is saying. I’ve had a lot of head injuries so I don’t know why it happens but it’s scary as hell. For that moment, you never know if this time it’ll stick, if it will stay that way and you’ll never be able to understand anyone again.

But class went pretty well. This was the first lab I attended where we had to work with a partner. I had qualms about my partner at first but she settled down and we got a good technique going and we finished in good time. She was very easy to work with and I am very glad. I came out of the lab tired but not frantic.

I tried to find out where the Austin homeless soccer team plays but apparently the Austin team has gone kaput, no sponsors. But the guy I talked to said he’d see if there were any games going on just for fun around town.
It would be nice to be able to be honest with people sometimes (in person) and not get looked at with judgment or pity. And you know what? Just because I’m living in my truck doesn’t mean that I’m always sad and morose. I’m not! I still want to laugh and have fun. I don’t want to be judged by people who think “That is wrong! She’s homeless, she should be in tears; she shouldn’t be having fun! Only people who are lazy or bad are homeless and bad people aren’t allowed to have fun! She should be working 3 jobs and trying to buy a house!”
It sounds stupid, but really, see if you can trap your thoughts the next time you see someone who’s homeless and see what you really think. What you think before you moderate it, before you start saying to yourself “oh.. Well he’s probably mentally ill” or whatever reason pops into your head. You might find it interesting! I know I did when I first did this experiment.

Tomorrow is my chemistry exam. You may not hear from me tomorrow. It depends on if all my grey matter liquifies and drains out of my ears or not.

But I’ll post something on Saturday for sure.
