My update...
1/14/08
Ive spent the last week and a half in my tent in the woods with some other people who have no where to go - I do have a thermal 0'degrees sleeping bag or I would have frozen to death its been so freaking cold late at night but I am surviving. I have only taken about 3 showers in the last week and I'm used to being able to do so every day... but I do clean up my self in a random bathroom every day. I have not looked for work as every day I have had one thing or another more pressing to do like finding some food, bus passes, laundry, etc.
I really need to find something softer to put under my sleeping bag as the ground is cold and that cold seeps into you after a while... I did buy a little cheap propane grill to heat hot water and food on but its hard to cook with no available water supply near where our camping site is.
its deep in the woods at the end of a road ...near south lamar about 2 blocks from the closest bus stop but I have to be back before sundown each day or I can't find my way back... I had to go back in the dark so far one time and it was scary enough.
I go tomorrow to get screened for a new medical study on cough medicine thats starting next wed. and goes for almost 2 weeks, paying $3,000 if I get picked for it... I hope they decide to let me do it b/c thats about 2 weeks of living at the medical center, with free meals, internet access, showers to use, etc.
My birthday is the 17th and I'm asking any1 who would like to help me to donate money to my paypal account so I can get food, something better to sleep on, bus passes, etc. If I could afford to stay at the local hostel instead of in the woods I would... also, the police could go back there and kick us out/ destroy our camp site at any time and have done it many times by the look of things there... so I'm hopeful each day I go back and still find my things there but i know its only a matter of time.
If you decide to gift me with a little birthday cash [any amount would be appreciated!] you can do so at Paypal.com and its connected to my bank account, and email address: Sayhi2Jeni@Gmail.com and my full name if needed is Jennifer Pisa. If you would like to meet up and talk in person I can be reached on Tuesday nights after 6pm at Ruta Mya Coffee shop on south Congress in Austin, TX.
