Well, I am now on my way back to San Francisco. NANCY NEEDS ME! :lol:
No, no :mrgreen: , it is that, IIRC, I did say here I was thinking of returning there - because I think, probably, I could get back in that " older) handicapped " shelter I was in there before where you don't have to clear out early, you can stay in bed till 11 AM or something if needed, and though you have to clear out of the barracks/dorm) bum"s sleepy pop in q u arters maybe four ho it rs a day...if nessecary you hang around the cafeteria downstairs, though they don't give lunch (They do do B-D.). And, there's a bunk under your bed, where you can leave stuff when you go. All of this would allow me to get more sleep, not have to walk around so much, and not have to carry my ball and chain stuff around. If it doesn't work out - Well, I can come back here One small advantage of being homeless.

...I gave spoken about some of the lead-up to this in PMs to some friends of mine here, not posts. I leave a couple of things dangling here - But I think I can all fix them if I stay in SF, maybe a day trip here, maybe some long-distance. I was asking that NYS lawyer to send me some money, with my birthday this coming Friday as a hook - Well, if he does, either come back & get the check or have it forwarded. I gave been preparing/talking about going back to SF in those letters, I know. Here? :?
I am presuming I can get back in that shelter, and it's as before.

...The staff at that Sally shelter here has been, almost, too nice to me and the fellow clients mostly good to fine! :) However, I WAS JUST NOT GETTING ENOUGH SLEEP, OR REST, AND HAVING TO CARRY AROUND MY STUFF AND GO FROM PLACE TO PLACE :cry: . IN RAINY WEATHER. I am still in touch with that Section 8 housing possibility and that "recovery shelter ' possibility here so I will hear about it if a " You adopt a child, then you become pregnant " situation happens. It is almost my birthday, and if I gave to be homeless then, I'll be HL where I can rest mire :| .
I have had a ridiculous number if hospital visits recently, and I think Social Services types here are getting sick of me. I doubly expanded on what I was going to do today - Going to a mall turned into going to a Target and getting a change of clothes, then deciding to leave now and present myself at the main SF assesing spot. I decided I didn"'t want to lug the stuff I bought around another night at the Sally and take some of it to my storage too-morrow. I am arriving at the San Jose Caltrain station to go to SF right now as I write. I'd better turn this phone off now to leave enough juice in to arrange getting to the homeless jernt once I hit The City By The Bay. I have quite a bit of cash, and $ome in my SSDI card. No flowers in my hair though :lol: !

...Nice model on that YT illo! :) I haven't played the song yet, I never liked that song gigantically, it was before my active Top 40-listening time and I always found it - sorta silly - though it's catchy, well-produced and arranged...I was sorta " uuuuhh..." about the whole hippie-era thing a d the San Francisco there says mystique - as a teenager, it was an earlier era to my era, and I was rather on the punk/New Wave- era train, " yoof culture ";wise.:wink:
I decided a hospital would be the best gateway into that shelter (I suppose it's more than a little pathetic to go to such lengths to get into a f*****g homeless shelter, but those are the conditions that prevail :( .), called the ER basically as soon as I was out of the Caltrain station (which is near Levi's Stadium, where the Giants play) and got taken to what I'd now officially (pause). PRISCILLA CHAN AND MARK ZUCKERBERG SAN FRANCISCO GENERAL Hospital and Trauma Center .abbreviated XFSG - It's very nice, the tattoo you have to get with the Facebook logo is temporary, though the footnote says " 666 :heart: the Whore of Babylon " :lol:! Anyway, I got admitted, I wasn't:t really thinking that, just of setting up the shelter, that appears optimistic now, after a long wait I"m upstairs from the ER room to a real room, I guess there's ways enough wrong with me to, at least initially, get me admitted to a hospital :( .

...It is late Friday, I was reased from the hospital to-day :) so I will be out tirely on my birthday, too-morrow, the 26th :D .I meant to post about being inside the room. I was in once I was admitted but I did not get to it - Oh well.
The room had a really lovely view, of the Protero Hill neighborhood of SF. That is the " pretty ", " America's Paris ", part of SF. Most of my tests I. San Fran, I tended to be i the not so " pretty " Tenderloin and SOMA parts. This shelter is in Pm Street/" Polkstrasse " neighborhood. Kind of " nicely shabby/energetic " :) .
I am on some THC Cheesits I chose ped Dow. when I got out of the hospital. When the psychowhstevef hit - Well I was kinda warm :D . It did make me clumsier, though :| . I will try to write later how it perhaps affected my feelings, here, with a Bible :) .
I have a week's bed. I'll have, presuming it works out, to get more time here. I'll have to contact the HOT people to see when business week's here. Yeah, the same people who I was with (Homeless Outreach Team) before. on who knew me the. tracked me down when in I was in Zuckerberg. Besides a standard type of cling, I think they said to see a kidney.? doctor they'd set up. If I can get that here, considering g how bad my kidney are, that's official reason enough to stay in San Fran, though I'll have to see how it works out. I do have the sleeping late/staying in option :D . Phew. For a .I've there it seemed I might not.
On this day, my birthday - yeah, 12:02 now - I may do something special, though some effort and expense. Later.

...Unfortu :( nately, this morning staff told me opposite of what I was told before, that I could not recover)rest into late morning, but had to clear out of the bubkhouse from 8:30-10. I had been told that I cod stay there without having to leave, if I stayed on my bed - but I was told otherwise thus morning!
And, now.........jumping ahead to 7:07 PM, I am standing in front of the shelter...having been told I lost my bed because I came home late!! !! !! !! ! :( I'm going to call the ER again, just for an overnight! They said " ring it up again tomorrow " at the shelter...maybe the 3d party reachable from the hospital could get me back in? I didn't do today that thing I said I might do. I did unpack most of my stuff and leave in my bedlocker : including g brand new clothes, musical I struments, new comics & an expensive back ack on top of my bed :x ! !!

...No-one cared :( ? Things worked out OK after a while, maybe I will talk of what happened in-between later :| - But this GS will definitely NIT e alright if I can't get a renewal of this one-week bed on Thursday, since it runs out Friday :? - WORSE, I heard one indication that the bed runs out too-morrow, which would be only six days! 8O And, I ended up not being able to g o.tbe floor where you can stay in till late morning, I get put out at 8 30 AM! :( I DO need, even continuing v here, NY circumstances improved : and the good stability that I need to be able to go to the clinic appointment that the doctors there said they would set up for m at Zuckerberg General, both general and kidney specialists...which I need :( ...but I can hardly go to, now, in my physical shape :cry: , fully homeless!

...Thursday, I thought a continued stay had been arranged, but, Friday, I was told to leave and take all my stuff with me or it would be thrown out.. I went to my workers' with just a duffle bag of necessities. I wanted to arrange another week. I did, but the backpack gotole there. I went to Walgreen's and Target, after also buying a new bag, rebuying necessities along with clothes I'd already planned to buy.
I am now heading back to the shelter. It's raining. I do have paperwork that I have the bed, but, have my bsckpack
/camping stuff/musical instruments/prescription medication/reading/clothes/extra bedding I bought/sealed CDs and DVDs been thrown away?

...I meant that the " necessities " duffle bag was stolen :( . So I had re-buy a new bag, and necessities that had been stolen.
I got the bed back in the shelter, I am writing there now - but they had thrown away my needed-cleaning clothes, a d magazine reading matter, while keeping other stuff I mentioned above, and new sheets I had bought at Goodwill to supplement theirs. I did get a new set of their beddinv when I checked back in
I am very used to having everything I own thrown away :cry: , and assume that. I am 59 a d ha e o ly these things here - and the things in storage in Santa Cruz, and the things of Bruh that va not been able to get sent. I have had no pictures of my family, or of my family, for many years now :cry: .
