In Which I Cried for a Different Reason

Gary had to leave.

We live in public housing and he had moved out a while ago when we were going through trouble. Then things got better and he has been staying with me ever since. But it's against the rules.

There's a reminder in this month's newletter that the housing authority has been receiving a lot of complaints about people who don't live here & how they're staying here for longer than the allotted "14 days a year" (that rule is so stupid). My inspection is also this month (they don't tell you exactly when) and he can't be found here. Hopefully they don't review the tapes on the security cameras and find out he's been staying since August. Ugh.

Oh yeh... if we're caught, it's an automatic eviction, no matter the circumstances.

I know the rules. And if he wants to live here, I can't just update the income info and the lease. He has to re-apply to live here, even though he'd be moving in with me. And that process usually takes months.

The rules are stupid.

He went to go stay with a friend across town. He works in 2 hours, so he'll be there til 9 or so. He said he's thinking of coming back over after work and leaving late tonight for his friend's place.

I fucking hope so.
