Now to find a cheap place to live relatively close by!

Good luck finding a place to live! Kirkland is pricey. D:

There are a few low-income places in Totem Lake area that are certainly affordable. As long as you qualify they would be the way to go.

A fable.

A man’s old donkey fell down a well set into the ground one day. The well was too deep and the donkey too old to try and save it. The well also needed to be filled and covered.

The man asked his neighbors to help him fill and cover the well with the donkey still inside.

At first, when they began to shovel the sir and the donkey realized what was happening, it bawled relentlessly. Eventually, to the neighbors’ amazement, it silenced. Time passed as they shoveled and they hadn’t heard from the animal in awhile. The neighbor eventually peered over the well to see if it was buried.

What he found amazed him.

The donkey had been shaking each shovel of dirt off its back and pressing it into the ground with its hooves, moving higher each time. As they shoveled, the donkey rose.

By the time they filled the well, the donkey rose to the top and went away unharmed.

The moral: while life may shovel all kinds of dirt on your back, you’ll be fine if you “shake it off and step it up.”
