That it is Friday evening.
I've just edited an item in my portfolio:
 The Book No One Knew She Was Writing  (E)
Surprises on a thumb drive. Chapter One.
Now to become an ongoing project.
Has anyone here had to block another user for harassment?
Hi! It does happen, as do interpersonal conflicts. You can block anyone, at any time, and it doesn't require an explanation from you.

That said, if it's harassment, please email a blue (mod) or purple case (supermod) so it can be dealt with.
Harassment mustn't be accepted or tolerated! We all deserve better than that. I hope you find the best and quickest avenue to resolving the issue.
Jayne Author Icon - *Senior mod not supermod.

Pay no attention to my synapse glitches and/or typos. I have no idea which one that was *Facepalm*
Question- how do you support a spouse/partner when they lose their job?
Calmness. Listening. More calmness. Gentle, quiet encouragement.

That helped me when I lost mine unexpectedly. I hope it works for others.
Elycia Lee ☮ Author Icon - Thank you for the idea! I made a big pan of my Grandma's lasagna last night. From scratch bolognese sauce and all. It was absolutely delicious. Lots of hugs and kisses.
Jeffrey Meyer Author Icon - I am definitely working on it. My own anxiety and complex PTSD are screaming, but I am taking time to remember that everything always ends up okay.

 You Can Always Go home  (E)
Journal Entry about the human experience of being unhoused.
Kåre เลียม Enga Author Icon - Thank you for the note. Just couch surfing has been traumatic enough, and I cannot even imagine what it would be like to sleep on the street. I wouldn't even know how or where to go to avoid a dangerous situation.

The living situation I just left was only supposed to be for a few weeks, and she manipulated me into a longer term stay that turned into a nightmare, so I am very weary of staying with anyone for longer than a few days at a time unless it is with my partner. I don't trust most people anymore.

I will be hearing from an organization today that seems to have the most pull and resources here in LA for homeless people, so I am hoping for good news. My case worker told me that the DV shelters are far different than a regular shelter, and my fears will most likely be calmed.
I am hopeful it will be better than I have made it all out to be in my head.
Samantha Author Icon - That's good news. *Hearto* I have severe trust issues.
Samantha Author Icon - I hope you can get the support you need where you live!
