In the laundrymat and I have had enough of non-mask wearing people who have their mask under their chin instead of over their nose AND mouth! The variants had already been detected and spread, we are being forced to remain “truck camping” or “homeless” or “homeseeking” or “nomadic” or “off-grid” because people will NOT wearContinue reading “Two Precipatiting Events”

How come I am on SSI
It is sure as heck is not because I enjoyed the process – which many consider traumatizing, rightfully, – of waiting over a year, constantly filling out paperwork, making phone calls, repeating the same information over and over to gain a label of “disabled”. I appreciate and respect a reasonable and healthy amount of paperwork,Continue reading “How come I am on SSI”
2021 arrived!
Not only has the year arrived, it seemed to slide in like an old quote I remember. “Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally wornContinue reading “2021 arrived!”
Behavioral Health Care Manager
Both Wolf and I work with a behavioral health manager, through a local chapter of a multi-faceted social service organization. We are grateful! We are a great fit and becoming a better team all of the time. Our manager works with us as a couple. Legally, because we are not married, this means we areContinue reading “Behavioral Health Care Manager”

Dear Diary, It is Christmas Day. We are in the truck with nowhere to go. Same as most days. Our abusers are in their houses living well. They have no concerns. They were not the ones who left and they believe they have done no wrong. We cannot go to a shelter because of myContinue reading “December 25, 2020”
N.Y. isn’t a Housing First State. We know!
We are two of its victims. Yes, I wrote victims. Because we, as are the underrepresented numbers of others, are victims. We were before the global pandemic. We are during it. (Honestly, at this moment, I cannot see an end to the pandemic, never mind the homeless and homeseeking populations.) Add in those who areContinue reading “N.Y. isn’t a Housing First State. We know!”
Showering: Luxury or Right?
Taking a shower is what I am talking about. Yes, a shower. Water from a faucet to keep yourself clean. Is the feeling of being clean, hygienically speaking, a luxury for those who have a place to live? Having a place to live does not automatically mean you are able and capable to pay yourContinue reading “Showering: Luxury or Right?”
A Dissector and a Fixer
Wolf is the Fixer. For sure. Recently he told me I am a dissector. “Not a science type.” We both laughed because there is surely truth in that. Depending on how you think of science. I am a soft science person. Roles can be dissected. Wolf is hard science through and through. Parts can beContinue reading “A Dissector and a Fixer”
