No Longer Homeless.......YAY ,YAY.....yeah!

So I officially moved into my new apartment yesterday. To fill you in, there was a gap between when my old apartment kicked everyone out and when my new apartment allowed me to move in.
The gap amounted to 10 days. I managed to stay at various friends places and despite a few close calls, I can honestly say that I never slept in my car. So, this being the second time in my life that I've been homeless, I managed to pick up a few "pebbles" of wisdom. I know it should be "pearls" but when you're homeless pearls are hard to find. So here's what I learned:

Always carry around a toothbrush in your back pocket
Cheese Nips do not constitute a full meal. Also they do not constitute 2 full meals.


That’s really all I learned. That and...Don’t be homeless. You don't eat very well and you feel like a mooch. Plus there is always a huge amount of BYU students displaced (homeless) around this time of year so good sleeping spots fill up fast. I thought about establishing an organization entitled "Befriending the Homeless" but now that I'm no longer homeless I lost the motivation.
