Hail The Kitty

Posted by T on C , in thankful, Therapy, New start 28 January 2013 - - - - - - · 120 views

Sitting here at 2 AM, the cat's stretched across my lap as I type....I'm amazed as how much he's grown in 7 months. Pure purr....a few stretches and he's back asleep again after looking up at me with those green eyes. Man, I wish I had the life! Yeah, been a while. I've been in a dark place with 3 hospital stays as I cannot seem to get out of th...

Good News Again!

Posted by T on C , in thankful, Meds, New start 17 November 2012 - - - - - - · 115 views

Wow, it took the Judge one week to render a decision on my case-and I was given SSDI benefits. How I found out so early was my Attorney went online and saw the judgement, called me the next day with the good news. Now it's plan time as next week the home where I'm staying will open for homeless women to have a place to stay during the winter months....

Being Kind To Myself

Posted by T on C , in voices in the head, New start 28 September 2012 - - - - - - · 138 views

Back from therapy, I've been having dissociation all day so it was pretty difficult to keep our conversation on track. One thing she told me was that I needed to be kind to myself. Easier said than done...I'm still beating up my brain for becoming a mess this past year. Sure, I trudge on, but at times it seems that I'm just running around in...

Finally Some Good News!

Posted by T on C , in New start, thankful, voices in the head, Zoloft, Zyprexa 07 September 2012 - - - - - - · 169 views

Bring on October. I move into the Victorian on the 1st, yeah! No more shelter or worrying about who's sleeping next to me-I'll be all by myself, safe and out of the elements in my own 1 br apartment. Nice place, went to see it yesterday and picked out the room. Large as well, around 750 sq feet-although I don't have any furniture...

Today's Humor

Posted by T on C , in New start, Nonsense posting, Roommates 07 June 2012 - - - - - - · 196 views

On a more comical  note, the other people here have been hoarding stuff for the upcoming move. There's one spoon, one fork and a cheese slicer to eat with which makes for much humor when you have 4 people trying to dine at the same time. Pots and pans have vanished, along with the toilet paper and bath towels. I leave for a few days and come home to a...

Move On

Posted by T on C , in thankful, New start, Relaxation, Roommates 30 March 2012 - - - - - - · 194 views

The tribe is moving, slowly but surely since the shelter has closed. Five of us in one house, another dozen in cottages.A few others that decided against treatment are living in tents. All waiting on the HUD sec 8 to start so we can have low income one/two bedroom apartments-a place to really call home. Big Dave is moving his renovated trailer to a nice...

Moving In Fun

Posted by T on C , in thankful, New start 19 March 2012 - - - - - - · 224 views

Sort of got moved in 2 days ago, but locked myself out of my room so I had to forgo meds, clean clothes and OL access since I couldn't get in touch with the keymasters...I'd never make a good lock picker, that's for sure. Trying to get my brain back in tow with the meds again. I could tell a difference within 45 minutes of dosing and it's...

Woot! Got A House

Posted by T on C , in thankful, New start 16 March 2012 - - - - - - · 264 views

Confusion abounding yesterday, today is much better. I got the call this AM to let me know I'm good to go at the new place for 3 months, and thereafter I've been approved for sec 8 apartment-it's a restored old Victorian right in the heart of uptown. Wow...amazing news.

The Mental health center where I'm volunteering is dropping off a bed...

Another Day, Another Delay

Posted by T on C , in Homeless, insomnia, New start 14 March 2012 - - - - - - · 201 views

FInally talked to the property manager at the housing authority-I'll get a call tomorrow if I get accepted into the program...I hope something pans out and have both fingers and toes crossed. Spposedly we're going to be housed in 2 man cottages, then into a large 3 story Victorian that's being refuburished uptown.

So I'm going to sit here,...

Tomorrow's Dream

Posted by T on C , in Uncategorized, Cooking, New start 13 March 2012 - - - - - - · 216 views

Tomorrow I find out where I'm going house wise, the cost and other stuff. Since I only make $197 a month I don't think it'll be too much, and I still have not heard about my SSI/SSDI. It's been 3 months since I filled out the paperwork-hope to hear a yea or nay soon. Today's a chillax day here at the MHC, made some Ravioli pomodoro...

Listen

Posted by T on C , in thankful, New start 12 March 2012 - - - - - - · 222 views

If you lower your window, you'll hear the rosehips starting new shoots. The firs and ceders doing the sway and swoosh as the wind bends the branches. Mamma bird heading into her nest, little kids squawking, waiting on their next meal. An old lady, dressed in a brown long coat, matching hat and gloves rolling her cart nearby. Kids playing and not giving...

Shower Shoes And Other Stuff

Posted by T on C , in Money, Homeless, New start, thankful 01 March 2012 - - - - - - · 242 views

Shower shoes-gotta get them. Also some anti foot funk spray when I start taking showers at the marina across from here starting tomorrow. Pretty cool, just toss a few quarters in and let it fly. The facilities are nice though-don't get me wrong but public showers are just that-public. Ain't no telling what bacteria is hanging loose ready to pounce...

Melting Into You

Posted by T on C , in New start, Homeless 29 February 2012 - - - - - - · 253 views

Well, there's the luck, and then the kind of stuff that makes you go "hmm". Today was one of those days that I wish I had not even came out of my car seat...

First, there was the jealous boyfriend who wanted to kick my buns at the park & ride last night. Ok, I'll deal with it as the days go on and her gaze makes me melt. I like being...

Sounds

Posted by T on C , in Shelter, Homeless, New start 27 February 2012 - - - - - - · 261 views

Sounds
Blackberry vines, thorny but still brushing back and forth. The wind is blowing and making the ragtop billow a bit. I'm settling in for my rest, wool blanket and a furry polyester throw to keep me warm. The waves are crashing close by and clouds rushing overhead. Lib just denied me a shower...she's out of town but still she....whatever. What...

Money Flies

Man, I have some of the worst luck in the world. If anyone's boating in the Straits of Juan de Fuca, or even Puget Sound finds five $20's floating please let me know. I took off my jacket at the pier today,...

Change? A Bit Of The Spare Kind. A Lot Of The Mental Kind.

Posted by T on C , in New start, thankful 14 February 2012 - - - - - - · 229 views

So tomorrow I steel up and hope to start my new part time job, and then roll into visits with both pdoc and therapist. Then I may be starting a paying part time job on Thursday doing some data entry work for an acquaintance. Worried about both but I know I can do it, no more fear of dying or burning to death. I sat my head down and did a lot of meditation...

Steel Reserve? No Thanks But I'll Hug Ya

Posted by T on C , in Shelter, Money, Homeless, New start, thankful 12 February 2012 - * * * * * · 257 views

Just finished helping a friend move some furniture, got a twenty for the effort and stopped by the store for a treat-Mountain dew throwback-like the old time Mountain dew cause it has real sugar. Good stuff. I'm a kid again!

The lost boys from the shelter were at the picnic table, raucous crowd whooping and hollering. I headed over to see what was...

Sunglasses

Mmm, the sun is coming out after raining all night. The Safeway parking lot is glassy looking, air is fresh with a shot of salty smell coming in from the bay. People are shopping, keeping Starbucks stock strong and there's a super cute girl walking past me...she smiled as she passed, and then looked back to see if I was watching her, then smiled...

Ear Plugs

Posted by T on C , in Homeless, New start, Seroquel XR, voices in the head 29 January 2012 - - - - - - · 192 views

There's a beer festival going on in town, and ground zero is right above the shelter...the music and sounds of people dancing made for some interesting attempts at sleep even with ear plugs in. Headed out to the car this AM for some peace and quiet, watched the noisy gulls and ravens battle it out for a scrap of food. Happy the cat was in a trance,...
