5/17 7pm: however, that road is heading north. perhaps it will offer some cooler temperatures, but i am not at all thrilled to have to be heading north on a greyhound bus. portland is the destination, money is the reason. there is a saying "you gotta spend money to make money" and that is precisely what i am doing.

i have to be in portland for a job skills training, if i do not attend my unemployment benefits will be discontinued. i sure hope this is the only one i have to do, becasue this is a pain.

the biggest pain is the dumb truck. i left it parked on the street at 33rd and I in sacramento california. it is the same place that i have been sleeping for the past two days and thats why i feel as comfortable as i do (not very) leaving it there. i didnt have any problems the two nights i was there, it is sandwiched between two apartment complexes so different vehicles should be accepted there with little question, and it will only be there for like 40 hours.

so, i am not thrilled about it, but it should be fine. it will be fine, i am slowly convincing myself. and if it isnt, i have no control over that now.
