Below that is my personal update.

Survival is simple,
All you gotta do is NOT DIE!

Survival has been scary a nightmare for te past month and a half. Social Security pays 3 weeks rent per month + some food. The other week of two rent is up to me.

Money has been dreadful Walking to and from work is exhausting. I put in a 4 day ~44 hour work week, but that includes travel time of walking 1 hour to work and 2+ hours going home.

I need more sleep. I need more $$ for food and supplements.

Wile I try to be cheerful here on LJ, I am more frightened than I have been since I was awaiting trial for being a draft resister, back almost 50 years ago.

Due to terror and my inability to use a phone, I have been remiss is attempting to get assistance from the government.

Tonight I am beginning the process of getting my shit together.


        I need to obtain access to the shuttle buses for handicapped people.

I will walk to work, but I want a ride home in the pre-dawn hours. I need rides to doctors, to social services, and rides home from shopping expeditions.

I am guesstimating that with rides home I may up my effective work week (not counting transportation) by ~50%.

With transportation I will try (once again!) for foodstamps.

Then I can start hassling Social Services for disability $$.
