Kinda stressful. I've been in the same place for 13 years, they're selling the house out from under me, I have to move in June, and I haven't found anything yet. My income is limited and I have allergies, which both limit my options pretty significantly.

I'm on a bunch of wait lists for low income housing and I'm following all the leads I can, but it's getting close and I'm getting worried.

I have a tabletop rpg on the way, but in the mean time I'm getting by driving a cab the days I can manage. It's precarious. I have a lot of tech hobbyist background, but no paper or connections to get me out the gate.

I honestly don't know what to do. Being homeless at 17 was one thing. It'd be a little different coming up on 40. I really don't want to end up living in my car.
