slept in roommate's old room! slept better than i have in ages! actually ate enough yesterday so of course feel extremely nauseated today, which means we are having lemon ginger kombucha & zofran for breakfast & finishing last night's editing before a whirlwind tour of several apartments today. process is very weird because it is my mom's money but she keeps saying defer to me but obviously nobody is going to so that, also *she* doesn't do that, also everybody involved treats me like i am a fucking idiot because my affect is daffy & ditzy & developmentally disabled. they *are* humoring me; i have no real authority or expertise here (stepdad is a career handyman/house repair guy & he's been going over the inspection reports, for example). i'm just the mobility-impaired person with access needs who can't afford their own place & has the means to take money from their parents about it lol. my frame of reference is "does this have bedbugs or black mold. does it have more than one flight of stairs. what is the laundry situation bc i can't carry clothes to a laundromat if it's too far & CTA keeps running ghost busses. coin laundry is also a problem when there's a national quarter shortage with no sign of ending soon. yes this is a paradoxical poverty mindset given my mom is paying for my apartment but that's like a one-off thing & i still have to live the rest of my life in my regular income bracket (low). is there a grocery store nearby & if there is one is it a food mirage. you can't stock up on staples at trader joe's & whole foods isn't a viable option. i know the map also says family dollar is technically a supermarket but you & i both know it is not, don't tell me it counts. do local, smaller groceries take SNAP. is there a pharmacy within walking distance--no not walgreens, a pharmacy that accepts illinois medicaid. is it within walking distance of public transit,"
