Living with Monominds

[The People]

For a week and a half now I have been staying with Monomind friends while I find a place. They have 2 dogs and a cat, all wonderful. As are the friends, a couple we have known for over 20 years. Their three kids are all in college.

We are finding that we are enjoying the routine of sharing their space (most of the time) their pets and meals. It is nice to have someone to talk to. I know that we would get on each others nerves and it will not become a long time thing. But I never knew how alone I felt until I wasn't any more. The plan is to stay here until I find a place through low income housing. I don't want to be here until they feel imposed upon and it affects our friendship. I just never thought I would enjoy sharing space with people again.
