Ow-ow-ow. Why'd I wake up at 5:15 yesterday? I dunno. But I stayed up. It's unfortunate that I wasted the more decent weather, too, as it got up to at least 48F. ::sighs::
Mar-- and I had a wee conversation when she picked up my garbage to take outside. I've been obfuscating my latest trials and tribulations, ( okay, blondie, what's the bad news now? ) ... and not by my quirky charm and wit, lol.
So, Saturday, I really REALLY must send out some e-mails, asking for assistance to see if any of my friends can suggest a place. And I do have at least one long-time well-off friend who I'm hoping will offer me sanctuary. Yes, I'm ready to display my vulnerabilities to him. OTOH, he may be entirely ignorant of the current reality of housing opportunities (virtually non-existent) for people living on disability pensions and low incomes. It's not at all like the good old days. Where my friends like Uncle Billy (who was his close friend too) and Uncle Ernie simply applied and got decent apartments. Immediately.
I finally texted church-John to see when he might be able to drop off the sturdy packing cartons. He said he'd come over Saturday (which is now today). Yay – that means I'll be able to get some groceries too (finished my last orange Friday). And I'll use him as a sounding board regarding the recommendation I received last week, just in case it turns out to be my ONLY option. God, I hope not ... as it would mean coexisting with a smoker again. Ugh.
I finally sent my reply/acknowledgment of the apology from my rides provider. I was gracious yet firm. I'm hoping there'll be no recurrence of a person intervening (interfering, really) and screwing up my rides in the future. Computer error is bad enough; I certainly don't need the contamination of the human factor. ::sighs again::
On a more positive note, I gave myself a pink grapefruit peel-off facial yesterday afternoon which just coincidentally fit in with one of the naughty discussion topics on Savage Love where I got up to all sorts of mischief! Hey, it was fun and I so needed the distraction, especially after the Jeopardy disappointment.
And that was my Friday. Posted now because I woke up early ... again.
