I was up late with insomnia, mucking about on ancestry sites and fell down a rabbit hole of my dad’s mom’s mom’s family members, tracing them all the way back to 1600s New Netherlands/Dutch New York and New Jersey. Which I think is neat.

This morning I woke up to a terrible, burning plastic/bleach smell that made my lungs burn and tighten. I thought someone was smoking meth or doing a home perm or both. Turns out it’s the hotel heaters.

Sometimes I think about the German Pizza Hut waitress I met ten years ago who I bonded with over our love of German-American midwest history. Hope she’s doing well.

Scared out of my mind what I’m gonna do after Tuesday. I hate this so much. I currently have three cents to my name. I’m trying to figure it out but I’m also thinking of just lying here and letting the November snow take me.

Sharing this yet again. I appreciate the kindness and support. Mom is still dealing with her post surgery issues. I’m trying to keep us both afloat and hard when I’m disabled.
I hate doing this online but I’m in a tough position. Me and my mother are both disabled and currently homeless, living out of a cheap hotel until we can get back on our feet. Staying here has eaten up all my savings. If you’d like to help, my PayPal is @ josmeeks. Anything is appreciated.

I was not meant to be a king, I was meant to be midwestern. I was meant to eat cheese curds and “carmel” and pork tenderloin sandwiches and go Christmas shopping in Frankenmuth, I was meant to use a warsh rag and read Bradbury and listen to Sufjan Stevens and stand in awe of the Great Lakes.

As a kid Thirteen Ghosts (2001) completely terrified me, especially the jackal, but as an adult it’s a comfort movie.

I need Amish food. Buttered noodles, venison, rhubarb pie, fluffy bread, squeaky cheese, apple strudel, peanut butter pie. I need it.

I’m tired of living in crisis. No matter what I do it’s not enough.

I’m grateful beyond measure for the help I’ve received from friends and strangers and I know I’m not owed anything, but there’s something soul-crushing about my family leaving us out to dry.

Remember when Americans didn’t need a passport to go to Canada and midwesterners could just go to Sault Ste. Marie on a weekend trip? Good times.

Being homeless sucks. 2/10, do not recommend.

I hate how everyone has the same mean-spirited, low-effort, sassy personality now. Like they were written as bullies for the Disney channel.

Mom had a court hearing for her wrongful termination. The company was a no-show and judge was nice to her. He said it looks good for her going forward.

I hate how people talk about the 1950s. It’s either halcyon days gone by or Stepford Handmaid’s Wife Tale or something. Both are based on misremembered Happy Days reruns and ahistorical memes.

So I have enough to stay at the hotel only until Thursday. Mom is still recovering from surgery and I’m trying my best but we have nowhere else to go. I’m scared outta my mind. Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

Mom’s family and friends have completely abandoned her during our time here. Including my brother. You’d think she had done something wrong. It breaks my heart and makes me angry at the same time.
