So, I'm Finally Homeless and Living in My Car

Saw it coming.

And naturally I couldn't find anywhere to move so I'm left living in my car
My dad expected me to keep working for the concrete company full-time whilst still living in my car.
I was stressed enough as it were, I'm not going to deal with living in my car, getting shit if any sleep and then go get sore all day only to come back and be unable to recuperate because the seat of my car is almost as brutal as that job as far as sleeping goes.

The good news

I got myself some easily prepared food (and seasonings, a pot and a little stand so I can use canned heat (flammable gel) or solid fuel to cook my food. Also got some utensils, of course.
My dad was, of course, very grumpy that I quit the job because HE would have done what he expected me to do. GOOD FOR HIM. Dude was all up in my shit like "How are you going to eat? You can't make enough to find a place to live doing doordash. What if your car breaks down?" THE SKY IS FALLING THE SKY IS FALLING shudup.

What will I do? Doordash. Yk if I spend like 1 hour or less per day and just make 10 dollars I'll end the month with 300 and probably still half a tank of gas? Imagine I made 20 per day! Oh my! I'd be able to afford TO BE THEIR FUCKING HOUSEMAID.

I don't think he really gets me at all. I've been bordering on wanting to die for awhile but spitefully going on nonetheless and he wants me to be as miserable as he's willing to be with his fool's hope. I'll do no such thing. I appreciate the idea of him letting me stay to try and get things rolling again, but if you see a few struggles and failures and set a fucking DETONATOR with a countdown timer you'd better expect a bomb to go off. Like... you set it? Surprise?

Anyway....

I'm going to end up saving a bunch of money if my car doesn't break down again, which is good. I made 60 bucks in like 3 hours last night on my first official night homeless. I cooked myself some top ramen. Today I bought the tiny tools needed to toast my own bagels ( a torch and a holder-thingy like you would use camping to hold marshmallows). I did forget to buy butter but that I can get later. I got my own little cooler which can keep things fresh for about 5 days at a time and ice is only 3 bucks a bag. That's what, maybe 25 bucks per month to have the equivalent of a wet fridge with me in my car? Worth it.

IN OTHER NEWWWSSSSSSS

The day before yesterday I noticed that the server went down and had to figure that out. It seems like it was some sort of drive corruption on the part of Contabo. I managed to fix shit and get it all backed up to my storage server just in case the shit happens again later. It shouldn't happen again anytime soon.

I might take some time to make my website into more than a big nothing-burger (matrix, email and blog notwithstanding). I'll probably just move the original to another url like V1 or some shit and slap in new stuff that's more personalized, maybe add a nice paginated music feed and an api so I have a way to post new tunes and have them automatically embed themselves in the page or whatever. Idk.


I'll try to post a bit more as I'll be at the library so I have time and electricity (and AC) to tinker and stuff. I digress.
