GAH!

JFC! I just wasted far too much time trying vainly to sort out what the hell was up with my last post after trying watch those videos from the post's links and not having any joy. I assumed also that others would have same experience. Crap! This hadn&

Mental Health Break

Also in hand to bronchia combat with whatever is being passed around the shelter I have spent time in previously but not for a few weeks now thanks to a generous soul who has gifted me a few months use of an outbuilding that has little to offer in the

Join Me?

Right after Martin Luther King Jr Day this virtual event is happening. I for one (of thousands - at least) am very interested to hear how involuntary homelessness can be eliminated in a first world (do we still say this?) country and more appropriately a country with similar environmental challenges

Yeah. Well...

At the shelter tonight. Probably a couple more. Life's like that sometimes. Only for a bit though. #smallMercies Despite being outdoors for weeks (?) now for all good reasons, for even better reasons am reneging on intention to not be back here. I don't know how much

Yes Yes Yes

It's been an interesting and exhausting time since last blurb here. Still in it and foggy headed. Catching up a sleep deficit that's deeper than I knew. Or - and - gut's slowly regrouping post food poison incident. Officially up for over an hour.

Merci Beaucoup Universe (and helpers)

Just a note to thank the generous and caring souls who responded to my ask yesterday. The plumbing leaks have subsided. Weary head still processing new state of life circumstances. Rest of system shaky still but not as alarmingly as last couple of days. Will be able to rest mind

Close, But No...

Close, But No...

Cigar? Had hoped to remain at shelter here until pension day two days from now but night before last proved to be the last straw. Today I'm dealing w suspected bout of food poisoning from last meal (dinner yesterday) at shelter I won't be returning to.

OT

Getting Bearings

Slowly but surely It's been a whole week now of adjusting and re-adjusting and then - sure another rule unknown to me revealed after having breached. #justLikeEveryAbuser #helpNotHelping #helpAnotherObstacle Mood therapy is here to really help. Thank goodness! Deets coming soon to this space as soon as facts

Bunk House Tonight.

Zzzzzz Finally! Am on lower bunk, Hopefully for at least one more night. It's been several days now of not sleeping, 24/7 up! muzak and 24/7 bright lighting. Today I conked out sitting in an overstuffed armless chair. In the library. After the guard woke me

Did Someone Say Shower?

Laundry 'n Eats too. But wait... There's more! I am going to be an overnight guest of Under One Roof tonight. This is wild. The last shower and night on a bed indoors was close to this time of the calendar - last year if memory serves.

So....

The search is on... I won't waste our time contacting them, yeah? Then there's this org to whom I have sent two emails. One to the outreach@ address then when no response forwarded that message to info@ ... was (still am) stretched to near non-communicative status over

Slowly Now...

Time. Rest. Warmth. Food. Medicines. And a chuckle finally. It's working then. Also, I just this early morning learned that it really can be too early for breakfast at a 24hr restaurant. 👀 Psst: breakfast starts at 4:30am

New Adventure's Begun.

First night's challenge: pause. Near to collapsing so not a hard sell. Loving the library so far! Just look at these hours:
