6/9 Pt 2

[december_solstice]

Just found out that a friend I met in my homeless peer support group just died tonight. She died before she was able to get housed along with her support animal. Homeless services *couldn't* house her because she didn't meet certain criteria. Because apparently HOMELESS isn't enough. Fucking stupid. Bureaucratic bullshit. UGH

Her death probably could have been prevented if she were housed in time and there wasn't so much bureaucratic bullshit. She used to be a professional figure skater. In short, I’m pissed. Emotionally exhausted. Wondering if she had any family. Who is going to bury her. Etc. What about her dog? It’s all just very fucked up.

Did a little prayer (in my prayer journal), wrote up my calendar for the week and got through some of my to-do list before I received the news. Going to check out the last stage of my application for Blogmutt. Although it looks like my account has been made, and I can already start writing my first post for approval.

I wish it wasn’t already 4am on Sunday. I can tell you that.
