Janice. Song. God.
My aunt Janice just sent me such a beautiful song / testimony. Tamala Mann is singing the song and I think it's called God provides. I totally relate to the lyrics. God does provide. Just in time. There are times I wish God would come through sooner but it's my job to that God is always there. It is my job to trust. I trust and believe.
Granny. Dietra's. San Diego.
Tuesday, November 13, 2018 Inglewood. Dietra's house.
I'm taking care of Dietra's grandmother this morning because D is not feeling well. I don't go in to work until 4 so I have time. So far I'm just scheduled to work today but I hope that changes because I want to get the money for the Airbnb I want to take Uraeus to. It will be a better place than we have been plus it will be cheaper than any hotel we have stayed in. And I want something really nice for his birthday. The Airbnb will be available to us on the 16th for a week. I'm hoping.
My uncle Therman left this morning haeaded back to Vegas. I miss him already. We always have the best conversations and he and Uraeus are also close.
I take my aunt Bobbie back to San Diego tonight when I get off. That's a lot of driving. We will have a good conversation on the way down there and I'll get some good thinking in on the way back by myself.
Grandma is resting now so I'm going to also.
Love yourselves.

Long Beach. Bakersfield. Prayer request.
8:52pm. Long Beach. Sister's house.
It's been a long weekend. My mom's birthday party on Sunday went well. Then Red Stories that night went really well. I'm happy about both of those things. Michelle surprised me by being there then V surprised me. It was a great crowd. Big Arch was a great feature.
Today my mom and my aunt Bobbie, my uncle Therman and I went to Bakersfield to see the model of the house my mom is going to buy next year. It was my first time seeing it, I loved it.
But back to this year and what's going on right now, Uraeus and I are still hotel hopping. A friend of mine owns an Airbnb and we plan to be there next week but I still have to come up with some more money. This life is getting tiring but we are surviving.
Tonight we will be at my sister's house because I have to pick up my aunt from her friend's house in Long Beach. I'm taking her to San Diego after I get off work tomorrow night.
I request your prayers. Coming up with hotel money week to week is draining and managing to stay sane and not fall into a depressive episode is miracle. I thank God so much though. Every night we eat. Every night we have shelter. We have each other. We have the love of family and friends. I believe with all my heart that this phase will pass soon. God is faithful.
I have to be up early so I'm going to get some sleep.
Love yourselves.

Move. Hollywood. Plan.
It's been a while since my last entry. When I left off we were moving. We moved. We stayed with my friend Dietra and her son for about a week. Well Uraeus was there for a week I went to Ohio to perform at the installation service of Valerie Bridgeman. It was lovely. I came back and Uraeus and I left the next day for a hotel. We stayed at a place in Hollywood. A nice place thankfully. I had to work every day but I enjoyed the time I was there. I'm being quick here because I lost the power cord to my computer so I am borrowing my mom's right now. We are in Long Beach. After we left Hollywood we went to a place in L.A. near USC. That was a nice place too. God is faithful. Today we are going back to the place in Hollywood until Sunday. My mother's birthday party is Sunday and so is Red Stories. The plan is still to get Uraeus a room for rent by the end of the month. God willing, that will happen. Until then, keep us in your prayers.
Love yourselves.

Gratitude
I give thanks for this day. For packing and throwing things away and loading things in storage. I am thankful to be on this journey with my son. I am thankful for shelter and food and cool drinks. For being almost finished I give thanks. For the workout. For being tired. For having the storage space. I am thankful for my blessings. Thankful for a place to be next week. For good friends. For love. I give thanks for my family. I am thankful for love. Thankful for Uraeus. Thankful for my life.
Leaving apartment. Leaving stuff. Loading car.
Sunday, October 2018, 2018 8:54 Los Angeles. Home(ish).
This will probably be my last post from this apartment. I'll miss it. It was home for about five years. I'm getting sentimental. But that's ok. On to bigger and better adventures. We spent the day packing and we are still packing. I'm trying to meet a 4:00 deadline to give him the key. I haven't told him the time but I'm sure he's expecting to meet me about that time. We only had about two more trips to the storage unit. Uraeus thinks only one but I say a good two. Most of what we have in here not is not going with us. I've been putting things outside by the tree. Most of the rest is going in the trash can outside. I'm going to try to have the car loaded tonight so that at 9:30 in the morning when they open we can immediately unload and come back for another load then throw the big things away like the bed and headboard and desk. I'm leaving the couch and table here. They are too heavy to take out.
My breaks over. Have a good one.

Gratitude
I give thanks for my blessed life. For my son. My mother. My family. My friends. I am so thankful for all that God has blessed me with and continues to bless me with. I am thankful for a working vehicle to carry all my stuff in and carry Uraeus and me around in also. I am thankful for food. For money. For wine. I am thankful for the help that Uraeus gives. For art. For poetry. For music. For dance. For creativity. I am thankful for love. For good health. For abundance.
