I’m on day 1,002 in my Civic, the last stop before a tent. With showers and the library and people not afraid of each other it was pretty good and I questioned why I paid $1,850/mo for 350sqft for so long. I camp 10 blocks from there. Hope it’s normal soon. Going on a year without a shower. Nobody I know will put me in a hotel and decreasing few will talk to me. I need to get my shit together, apparently. I was waking up at 3am to sponge bath myself when I worked retail—was not enough. “At least we’re not in Africa” -a diverse boss from my Engineering days.
- forgotmypw17 6y agoHang in there. You're a good person, and you are enough just the way you are. You don't need anyone's approval to exist. If you are in East Coast U.S., I may be able to find you a shower.
- m_kos 6y agoDo you know how much a monthly gym membership near you costs? If money is an issue, I could chip in via paypal or venmo. (Just a grad student with kids here, so don't expect too much, please.)
- mym1990 6y agoSecond this and also willing to chip in. I'm not sure where you are but I know in the US it is fairly common for gas station truck stops to have shower facilities as well!
