Day 3

I awoke at 4am ish and had trouble falling back asleep. A few things need to go right today. My pants need to be found, or, from their clothes storage they need to find me new pants, which I find is unlikely to be successful due to there not having been any pants when they gave me clothes from their storage on day one

The second thing that has to go right is I need to meet with an intervenant to explain that I need to leave Ricochet after work to go and pay Robert and that on Saturday I will be leaving, hopefully this doesn't pose a problem.

The third thing that has to work out is that Robert calls my references and through those discussions decides he will now accept to have me as his roomie.

The fourth thing is something doesn't go right in my travel from Ricochet to Desjardins on Monkland, or that there is a problem to withdraw the 1000$. Walking from Desjardins to 4900 Cote St Luc road is easy, but then it needs to go well with R, and finally the transit trip back to Ricochet needs to work out.

And finally, J has some of my possessions and so I need to have either him, or R or S drive me from Ricochet to this 4900 Cote St Luc on Saturday, but definitely need to get my stuff from J, who isn't easy to reach.

My Opus card had only one transit trip left on it, so I figured out how to add my Desjardins debit card to my Google wallet and I was able to add 10 transit fares using the Chrono app using the wallet.

Finally I got out of bed at 5h35, shaved and went to the cafeteria to wait for the day to start. At 7h30 breakfast came out of the kitchen, the same yogurt and granola bowls, bread of various types for toast and jam, breakfast cereal and milk and hard boiled eggs - all of these appear to be regular and daily. Different today was a turkey sausage and a strip of bacon of which I ate one of each with toast and a hard boiled egg.

My pants were found, so that's good. I've coordinated with the main person about exiting Ricochet this evening and then returning, and exiting with finality tomorrow. I also explained to them that I need to work and that they are dismantling the chapel where I had been working, so they put me in their intake office which is unlikely to be used during my work time. 

Lunch is served here at noon and on Fridays my lunch break at work is at 14h, so I went AFK at 12h15, no queue to get my meal, and I ate it not hurriedly, but not slow, either. Four chicken wings atop somewhat spicy rice, a garlic bread and a separate bowl of salad. It was good. I was back on queue at work at 12h31, so it wasn't bad

At 18h I left Ricochet, took the 213 bus to Cote Vertu, took the metro to Villa Maria, walked down Monkland to get money out of Desjardins, then walked back up Monkland and then up CSL and met with R for about an hour. He had prepared a cursively hand written room let agreement; I agreed to the terms, May to August inclusive with option to renew. His master bedroom and ensuite 100% off limits to me, but otherwise shared common area. I gave him the money I took out. He has started to prepare the apartment for my arrival and has a little more to do. We talked about meals and food but didn't come to any reasonable conclusion. He will see about getting keys for me. 

To get back to Ricochet I used a slightly different way, I walked a bit further to Snowden metro, then the blue line up to Edouard Montpetit, the elevator down to the REM platforms gave away very little in terms of how far down we went. Riding the REM for my first time I found it to be very quiet as a passenger. I rode from Edouard Montpetit to Sunnybrook and walked the ~2 km back. 

I caught the overtime period from the beginning of the Tampa-Montreal game where sadly a Lightning player scored the overtime winner.
