They took 3 of the computers away in the halfway house... now we have 2 computers shared for like 100 people. They say they are doing some kind of investigation and that they won't be back for "quite a while" so this is going to kind of suck until I get approved for a smartphone and computer of my own :|
Went to WELD this morning. Seems like a surprisingly good program. They have all sorts of training opportunities. They offer a bunch of different services and have staff who can assist in navigating what benefits you qualify for and all sorts of stuff. Seemed super chill and helpful, most of them have served prison time or at least been arrested and avoided prison time etc.
Mom came by today and we went and hung out at Goodwill. It was fun and I got some stuff I needed. Goodwill prices suck now though :| I used to always go to Value Village but there isn't one near here. Goodwill used to be pretty good as well but now at least half their stuff I could just buy new online for cheaper without even waiting for a good sale... Had to look around quite a bit to find some stuff that was priced in a worth buying range. Got a brand new Contigo travel mug for $4, couple pairs of new looking Dockers pants for $9.99 each, closet hanger rack thing for $2.99, and a foldable laundry thing for like $3. Most of the other stuff I was looking at was not cheaper or only barely cheaper than just buying it online at regular price. Almost everything was more expensive than a good online sale.
We stopped by a "coffee shop" on the way back called Hello Em, fantastic place highly recommended. Staff were nice, coffee and food were both delicious, prices were totally reasonable. Place has a great atmosphere filled with Vietnamese art and the history of "little Saigon" which is what the area of Seattle it is in is called. Had no idea Vietnam is the #2 coffee producer in the world. Anyway phenomenal quick little place with great atmosphere.
