Blood and Homelessness

Tonight at softball Andrea was in left field. She reached for a ball with both hands and, from what I saw, the ball bounced and broke her thumb... Like the bone came out, blood pouring out, not even a wimper. She's awesome. She was sitting in the waiting room for about 2 hours at the ER. Our health care system is ridiculous. I remember a conversation once with an anti-universal health care-ite. Their arguement was "in those systems you have to wait hours to see a doctor." Well, there you go, isn't that what we are dealing with. Hopefully she has health care... scary thought. She is Canadian- hmmm, I wonder how that effects things. Showing my ignorance here. Anyway, our health care system needs serious help and god help anything happening to me as I have no health insurance. Yes, I'm sure there will be several people shaking their head, but it is just the way it is for now, soon things will change once I get my teaching job. Anyway, here's to Andrea taking one for the team.

Second big news of the day is come June 15, we are homeless. Got a call from my landlord and he's selling the place. He has a baby on the way and the cost of the house up in LA and this place's additional 1200 bucks on top of our rent for the mortgage is just too much for him. So, we need to find a place and by the first of July. We are going to be taking a vacation late june so we'll probably just rent out a storage space for a little while and live out of the van. Comes full circle. When I met B I was homeless and I ended up staying with him in the 1985 VW. He had just gotten back to town after a long trip and therefore was also homeless. I had known him only a few weeks and then ended up staying with him for a couple of weeks outside his friends place. Awwww, and we're still together :) The tough thing is finding a cheap, clean place that allows dogs. NOT EASY...
