Wait. HOW long?
Ye gods and little fishes, some of y'all must think I up and faded away down here.
Currently trying to get to a psychiatrist in time to get my disability extended. Just got emergency food stamps to hold over for the duration, not to mention the benefit of the in-laws' church's soup kitchen. Even if half the stuff is starch, some of it's useful to us. (Psst, please, as one who knows, when donating to soup kitchens, try to make more of it protein... SO many people donate pasta and rice!) I have an appointment Wednesday with someone, thankfully.
And frankly, Bakersfield is hot, conservative, and downright bizarre for me. Still acclimating to details like the random oil well pump in a business park. And intriguingly, while I know how Republican this area is, I have seen more Obama 2012 support than I have Romney 2012. It's like the few and proud Democrats show it off while the bulk of the Republicans either don't bother or, rarely, stand up for Ron Paul.
Medically, I've developed asthma, likely due to the huge amounts of dust the bug-out we performed kicked up. This area is no help for that, either. Other stuff is pending further exploration, but at least the bulk of it's free thanks to a local medical plan. The psychiatrist is a sliding-scale situation because the medical plan won't give me access to the hospital's mental health department. No, not happy with that, but not like I can change it, either.
Anyway. Hello. Not dead yet. Mostly Twitter and Facebook nowadays, but I had to at least pop up here after seven months or so. *laughs*
