BiinBaan
I made to BiinBaan last night - a shelter in Barrie (Aug 1st), now 2nd.
Just finished my two weeks at G & K Services. They were nice to me. So, I have some money, not enough for a place.
I've met Kevin and Cheryl, Sarah and some of the people staying there.
It's a holiday weekend. So, I have to settle in, get to Ontario Works, see places, on Monday. Find more work. I get paid again next Friday. So, I'll have about $700 to work with.
I should be proud of myself and hold my head high. Life could be worse.
I still like it here in Barrie. The waterfront, the boats. I feel like I'm on a spiritual journey, walking the wheel. Healing from my injuries and pain.
Thank God there are people. Puds is resting peacefully in my locker.
I will still keep my word to carry her ashes. I honour and love her.
Besides Adonis, the black and white cat (male 3 yrs), there is another cat at Elizabeth Fry that showed up. Mostly white, with bits of light reddish-brown and probably about the same age (male). I hope to find a home for him too. We'll see.
Rise from the ashes.

Making it in Barrie
It's Friday, just finishing up the two week assignment at G&K Services - covering Nathalie Marchildon's position (service co-ordinator), working with Greg Craffigan, Gary Elkins and Delroy Brown. It's been good.
Elizabeth Fry has kept me on until today and now I have to move to another shelter (BiinBaan) at 38 Toronto Street. I'm worried but I'll be ok. Have to pick up my cheque from Spherion, get it to the bank, and finish packing my stuff tonight after work.
I hope to write again. Love to all and Puds. Janet Matthias
To remind myself - Janet Lampman has my other things and I will be storing more at Efry.
