A struggle with homelessness that I really overlooked before becoming it is filling in your day. Since I only have a part time job and no full time job I still have a lot of free time, most of that time I don't know what to do.

Since I don't have a bed anymore, bed rotting won't be an option anymore, tent rotting doesn't really roll of the tongue nor is it comfortable.

I have the day off today, like everyday I went to the gym first thing. had a workout and took a shower afterwards. Then went to the bakery and got some breakfast. I'm at the library right now where I come daily to use the outlets and charge my devices. I plan on staying here till closing time but I might leave earlier and treat myself to some fastfood or a kebab since I don't wanna waste too much money on food I give myself 1 day a week to eat out. other days I just buy whatever I can at a supermarket and call it dinner. Even then I will still have hours to pass before I even wanna go back to that stupid tent.

I really miss having a house to go to, having your own space to turn to at the end of a day. It miss being able to go home and unwind. on most days where I do work I get back to the tent late with little to nothing to do. at least now that I moved my tent out to the forest I can enjoy the peace and calm while just drifting into thought but I miss being able to do anything I want without worrying about so many things.

The worst is yet to come since the seasons are getting colder. I hope the homeless shelter will reply to me soon, I'll call them on Monday if I don't hear from them today as they told me to.
