Finally, my roommate committed. — I was worn out. — I slept a bunch.

They were supposed to keep him for at least a month and then the plan was for him to go to his mom’s which is 2 hours away for a bit to make sure he was OK.

Every time my 4 dogs barked, I jetted to the window to see if Matt was back. After some time, I relaxed. Then, the other day the dogs barked and the door opened, and there he was.

Evidentially, he caught Covid-19 in the ward, so they dumped him here.

He is no longer raging, thank God! So that is good. But he is a different kind of crazy. This one is bearable. — It takes 2–22 weeks for the meds to kick in.

He is no longer in charge of taking his meds.

He now gets an injection once a month. So I am waiting. I have saved my ko-fi money and almost have enough to evict him if need be.

In case you missed my previous post, my roommate got committed for schizophrenia.

He was fantastic for 12 years…
