Update as of mid-November 2017

I don't really like to waste space writing "just" an update.  But it seems necessary, again.  I don't have a properly working computer, nor a printer that works, nor any office equipment or even an office.  I'm still in a motel room with no kitchen and can't find my belongings which are scattered all over the bldg. that houses SEASCAT's thrift store- except what belongings fit into this room.

My sister and I are talking again- don't know how much I wrote about our last period of non-communication, but it is water under the bridge at the moment.  My sister is talking to me, and just spent some time in a hospital.  While she's been in the hospital I borrowed her computer and tonight I have to take it back to her apt. because she will be back tomorrow. 

I probably won't ever get regular posts submitted until my living situation changes.  I've been looking for paid employment for several weeks and have submitted for QP (qualified professional) positions at every mental health related program, the university nearest and the community college- all it's nearby campus.  I finally have an interview and it's with the homeless shelter a little farther than I hoped to have to drive and likely only paying little beyond minimum wage.  But we will see.  My interview is Wednesday.  And Tues. I have an intake at Vocational Rehabilitation.  It was ~12 years ago that the Vocational Rehabilitation worker assigned to me told me they couldn't help me- I was over-educated and too old, then.  LOL.

I hope they realize that the economic situation is very different these days.  I can't live on social security!!!!

I feel I am too old to be dealing with a life in such flux, but have no real choice.  I am on the waiting list at one complex for elderly/disabled, it is in fact, the one that my sister lives in.  If nothing else, my name should come up soon- and I may HAVE to try living there, despite my claim that I never would.

For those of you wondering about the book, Andy.......  I'm not real happy that he insisted that I remove most of the pictures, as I think the pictures really make the story.  Because of that, I'm postponing publishing the entire book until he relents and allows me.  He lives here in the same motel, still, and I do see him.  But he is such a different person, we barely talk at all.  If he doesn't relent and let me publish the pictures, I will publish it without them as soon as I have an office and I will then do the entire book as one document.  I can't even tell where the chapters are all located in any order, so far, and that is not acceptable to me.

Now I must close and get the computer back to my sister's apt. so it will be there whenever she gets back tomorrow.

By the way, I do welcome comments... and I haven't had any since I've been publishing this blog.  And just to catch everyone up on what SEASCAT is doing now- if you haven't read it all on FB I'll finish with my most recent poster.
