Choices

I decided to try my luck at the state office. Now that we are technically homeless. I qualified for snap benefits. Not that I was proud of it. Its just that living homeless makes everything a lot more expensive. No fridge to keep things cold. Only coolers. So you have to constantly buy ice to keep every thing from spoiling. I would buy blocks of ice and stuck it to the bottom of the coolers. Added different things to it and then added cubed ice over it. Each cooler had it's own items in it. 1 was for raw meat, 1 for drinks, 1 for snacks, fruits and vegetables, 1 for leftovers or pre-made snacks and meals. That being said, yes I applied. I also found out during my interview. That because of a few disabilities, I qualified for cash assistance. Now before you say anything. Please know that I did not do it. I am not saying it's good or bad. I am saying that's my taxes to. Don't get me wrong. I really and truly considered it. Stay home, go to therapy and still make as much as I would working. It did have some appeal realistically but I declined. It was a pretty good year. Despite all the bad things that I've gone through and I've done. I'm not going to say I haven't deserved any of it. I am not innocent. That being said let's move on. It's been a few months now. I decided to visit Kc since it was my birthday. Took my kids and headed to her job. I figured we would get there just in time for her to clock out. Which my timing was very accurate. She was outside helping a trainee with the carts and store scooters. As I walked up they were standing next to each other. It looked like they were kissing. I tried not to say or do anything. I just looked at Kc and walked away. She ran up to me and asked what I was doing here. I told her I wanted to grab some stuff to cook. Since it is my birthday. She tried to kiss me but I swerved. Then I asked her why did it look like you guys were kissing. She said the girl tried to kiss her lips but she turned. She's not into her. She loves her life with me and the kids. I took one look at the girl. I never even spoke to her. She just decided to quit. I would like to say it was because she knew my family and figured out who I was. Then again maybe it was just perfect timing. I am not entirely sure. However I got to speak to one of her coworkers who said that this has been an issue for a while. The girl keeps trying to get close to Kc. They all knew me and know my violent reputation. Then let her know who I was right after I caught her trying to kiss my now wife Kc. I guess growing up jumping around a lot, having a really bad temper. Well it actually pays off sometimes. After that we decided to continue our relationship. I had a routine check up. Found that the single baby was still there. The heartbeat was still faint but still going. I was nearly 6 months pregnant to a single baby. As the other one did come out after my fall. The stormy season was upon us. Though I did a great job putting my camp together. The high winds, lightning and thunder, heavy rain and no let up at all. It made it hard for us to even eat. So I made arrangements with the head of tent city. To watch our things. As I needed to go back to the program until it calmed down. Which was a very bad choice. It was a crazy storm. It took 3 weeks to go away. By that time everything in our camp was destroyed. Including the tents. So they threw everything away while we were gone. So our program visit turned into a permanent stay.
