I agree with that.

But maybe, for long distances, a wheelchair might be better.

He seems to have to stop every block or so to catch his breath.

...Yes, I have/have had neuropathy, too. Now in this room, there is a problem with transportation. The bus to/fro here stops very early. I mean like 6PM. And on Sunday morning the bus did not start til' after 12 noon. So, to get to 10:30 AM church service, I needed a taxi. as'veneers a taxi to get back from downtown both Fri. and Sun.I ad a large Ladd, icldng groceries eachtjmd.I'm a pretty generous tipper. Espec. as I got help with putting groceries in the axis - and the second time the tip got me help volunteered to take it further to my doorstep.
After losing the pubs I trashea when I left the hospital I more or less stopped getting new heavy pubs to keep- but even for to-throw-away, I've hardly really read t&e Sun. Santa Cruz newspaper and the Fri. national New York times I bought myself !s a treat (Boy, I'm a fun person, ain't I? ) at all. The two unfinished novels I've dragged since the Rehab are sti)l unfinished. I might need to stay hers even longer to finish them and finish the tons of beverages (including one beer I bought Friday and haven't opened) and bit of frozen food (there's a mickwave but I'Ve no microwave cooking equipment used an inner bag from one as a cooking plate) and the couple unfinished books I've &upped along since the rehab .
I did get a fair bit of money piled up from the weeks in l'bopital but I'm soendinv it. I got shoes fir one and need at least one more panfs and maybe a full ndw packags of underwear and maybe undershirt too -but that would sure be a tot to carry !
However, I am nabe, however I may romantisiz it, too ok to b " romantically " homeless by more. However, a not-complaing floor cot shelter space and carrying my stuff !round all day, as I guess Om wants??, wishew would be pretty straining also. I don't have hoojt!k stuff cooking bland for me, so, yes, my access to " healthy " food might be limited. If I ate at a charity situation lo-cal might be rare also. I'd need to go really Johnny Applseed HL nd somehow boil canned things in the hills or at a private room and cooking ability somewhere- and a $take ^ ability to set it up with the $take.
It take I long to get things packed away !nd m undressed when I get back and them I"m caught up with what I can type on this phone and straining my eyes?? Look for the slowness of this phone (sometimes arbitrarily frozen/ won't Internet-connect) - Starting after either the phrase 6AM or 10:l:30 AM above - til I wrote " internet-connect " above - it took 7p minutes or so . No wonder there's so many things I never get doneedone and I don't read much " real " stuff !

I hope you get an actual bed soon after you get the floor mat space,

If you go to church, you shouldn’t curse so much.

...I don'ydon't think sO cursed at all there, and I don't think sO curse much.
Where?????????

I never believe that you would ever curse in church. You're not a crazy guy.

Sometimes, when you get mad, you curse on here, though.

I guess we all do, at times.

@ASS-P - Hopefully you'll find the time to start going to the library in Santa Cruz to use their computers. This should be much better than typing long letters on your phone.

It’s hard on ASS-P. I don’t believe he wanted to throw those things out.

He carries all kinds of paper and crap around with him.

If I didn't have a place to store things, I'd only carry absolute essentials in a backpack.

...What are " absolute essentials " if you're sleeping outside? When it's cold? And it might rain? And you have to change your clothes upon occasion?

...Now I will talk about relating to potential problems I anticipate if the shelter here is mats-on-floor like the earlier shelter here in SC.A stool or chair by me might not be enough to easily get up of it is not quite large and really heavily secured. Mats tend to be close. It"s as dark as it can reasonably get. It might be insisted that I wear foot coverings, and on a slick gum floor. I tend to grunt a bit when I get up, maybe, nd I definitely, when I"ve almost fallen down??, grunted " Uh!! " instoctovely, which helps right me and keep me from falling.
I'll likely have to go to to the bathroom during a night there (and there's generally nowhere to go but your cot, certainly later on. I'd have to go to the bathroom during the night, clothed? as I anticipate being, more than once. I will now use euphimistic words, not " proper " Greek/ Latin-etc. medical words, to avoid offending the hyper-sensitive. My - masculine area - is now not swollen as before. In this room I sleep - nonclothed '- make my way to the - place of elimination - in the dark, stepping sometimes uncertainly. When I - #1 ' Ostand fairly close, over the bowl, to try and have it hit the mark. My ma, when it #2, does not tend to stand up and push #1 out super forcefully, I,d likely to wash less there. I probably?? get OCD about my am out of washing up afterward, but I think I might not be able to wash up there enough, and my clothes could overly get smelly. I have few clothes. If I must carry around all day, too...Well, let's wait now and see if you-know-who replies I'm disgusting !
