Stuck

Image
Me trying to run through O Hare international to make this damn second flight   So everything was hunky doory.  I finished getting ready and walked to the bus stop with my purple duffel [heavy] and my back pack [stuffed].  I missed the first bus and waited about 13 minutes for the next bus This bus took me as close to the airport as I needed to be before transferring to the bus that takes you to the baggage claim.  I was thrilled at this point and getting more and more giddy by the minute.  I use a luggage cart and take the elevator up to the second floor to the TSA  I get my tickets and check my bag. One less thing to carry.  Checking in through TSA took around 20-30 minutes. Not too bad. I walked through the concourse and ended up buying gum. $2.99. I didn't buy a drink or food. Not sure why because as we speak my second flight is 47 minutes late. We were supposed to take off at 7.  Maybe it's because I'm usually smoking a cigarette or snac...

Something to consider for a moment...

I looked this up for clarification while brainstorming some shit The 2023 Greater Los Angeles Homeless Count revealed a 9% year-over-year increase in homelessness in the county, and a 10% rise in the city. The data showed 75,518 people are homeless in the county, and  46,260  in the city of Los Angeles, an increase from the 69,144 in the county, and 41,980 the city from 2022. That....that's a whole city. 46 thousand....hell 75 thousand individual people? Thats the size of some cities here in Ohio. I thought to myself is the issue space? I mean, logistically bypassing all the combined obstacles unhoused persons face, lets say hypothetically they are given housing.  Would there be room? Could you create housing for this many people realistically or would they need to be spread out over a large area?  I don't know how many people can be housed in what was called "projects" back in the day but the apartments across the main street by me had building going back back back ...

Goals

 June 3rd, 2024 What do I plan to accomplish in Los Angeles? Why did I choose LA? Where will I stay? How long will I be here? My goal is to make as much money as I can before I return to Ohio.  The minimum wage is higher and I have the free time this summer to make more money. I am trying to compensate for the fact that I've been unemployed since 2023 (December) I don't exactly know where I will stay but I plan to make sure I am always safe and out of harms way. I may stay in a hotel or other temporary lodging. I may stay with someone who wants to make money and has spare room. We shall see. Be sure to stay updated on my youtube channel to watch my progress. I plan to come home eventually before Ray (my son) starts the school year.  I will share more about my thoughts in vlogs and here on my blog. Thanks for stopping by, Love, BrianaLoveW

Let's board

   June 3, 2024 As I type this I am sitting on my computer, previously snacking on one of Raymond's green apples I forgot to pack him.  The house is nearly ready to be abandoned temporarily. I have about ten tabs open because my attention deficits are worse when I'm using a desktop. I have concerns. Naturally. I am nervous, I am jittery. I am trying to sleep the hours away and be ready and remember everything and     STOP!!!! ..... breathe bitch.  I checked off most of the list I made. I have what I   think  I will need.  I have eaten. I have water to drink. I will be ok.  Tomorrow I will do one more load of laundry. I have my boarding pass ready on my phone. I'm going to charge all my electronics tomorrow and vlog the trip to the airport.  Wishing myself all the good fortune, safety and health.  Wishing you, my bon bons and any new viewers or readers, a safe and sound good night. You'll need it if you're going to hav...
