...Last night , after someone's suggestion , (and it looked like it might rain , it was drizzling) I went to a hospital yet again , the blood showing on my exposed (remaining :cry:) second toe motivated him to suggest that , my blood sugar was incredibly high once again , too , I got some treatment once again but I didn't get admitted to the hospital or a shelter referral , I was out and walking the streets at 3:30 AM-ish , I diddled around , as I said in the " f**k the gimp " line , about 8-ish I tried to rest with not-great results :(...I wish I could get some help ! :(

...I got the $ , Seacatcher , again , thank you :? ...
I hadn't eaten at all that day , I believe , and spent most of it on food (plus Sunday papers & water I use for hand-washing + drinking , I refill the bottles generally but they do drop away/get used up after a while) , then , I did what I said below :| .
Tuesday when my little money comes in , addressing this to all , I guess I will spend 25% or so just on new Payless-type shoes , like the ones I had which were destroyed in the diarreea attack and replaced by the hospital " loony-bin/Thorazine shuffle " shoes - They are just so heavy , and uncomfortable to walk in , & expose my toes' blood/discharge in a way that could get unfavorable attention - I'll have to throw them out then , I can hardly carry them around :( ~ I wish I had a place to leave some things :cry: - Maybe I could wash (another set of) clothes then , too :( .

...To-day it came ~ I will do this in little chunks , I am at the Main Library , 30-minute chunks on th' 'puter and then maybe a longer wait to get on again , and when your time runs out , everything is wiped off , you have to start over again next time you get back on , even if you can immediately get another set because nobody's waiting . :(
I bought a new bag of underwear at (City) Target (+ a Hormel pepperoni wrap) and then I bought the new shoes , as I said , 13 size but too small 40 bucks .

Do you have a paypal account?

You can get donations on that and transfer them to your bank account.

You should be able to set up an account on there without any help, but if you need help with that just ask.

...Briefly , for this , I don't have a working Paypal account , and I cannot I think start one as they make you have a " real " address ~ and even as USPS addy , or a private mailbox place , is not accepted . I have no bank account either , and with as little money as I have , cannot start it now . I do ~ still ~ have a Green Dot ATM card .
This all leads into a " major-er " thing ~

...At this point , I have a shelter bed for the next six-ish nights , but it's not that absolutely good , and some problems present themselves .
For one , I have NO paper money ~ partly because I seem to have lost the last $20 bill of my money , from the pocket (My wallet* fell apart , and all my important cards are in that pocket , loose & in danger of loss) from that pocket ofthe 2nd-hand blazer that is falling apart , which I keep my important stuff in .
Also , bluntly , based on the ppast , even my coughing (coughing fit right now) or the icky wounds on my feet could ge me thrown out (or my I guess Aspie-ish behaviors also) ~ and , just yesterday when I checked in , I had to leave a scissors with the guard up front , and I was told I'd get it back tomorrow , and this morning it was " lost " :( Right .
There is no guarentee that I will be able to lave stuff there in the morning , not at all , maybe I'll have to drag everything with me every day .
My one set of clothes have been freshened a bit from yesterday , but it's still just one set of clothes , and I can't even really take advantage of the laundry there with only-what-I-am-wearing clothes .
I have to clear out by 8 AM or so by the latest and that leaves before me a day of ~ what ? Going to the library again and waiting for the one computer endlessly and getting (as yesterday) thrown out when I am dirtier ? QOn a certain lavel , homeless and carrying everything around , at least you're an " independent unit " , like a beetle with its stuff on its back .
There are many other HL there with their own smartphoones , even lapptops , BTW . I have nothing much to do all night , and lights on is like 5:30 AM , it's that final get-out is 8 or so .
Walking around when my pack is put down , I am reminded how I am cripped :cry: by the lack of rehab I recieved post-amputation :cry: I have to fight against falling over . A night in a shelter is not " rest & rehab to get your walking properly back ~ better , anyway " , no how :( .
I really could use some money , to be able to build upon the slight " staying somewhere , anyway " advantages I have now , maybe get the PO Box and storage space I need , not to mention a grand 2nd set (meaning other than whet I am wearing :( ) clothes , for two ~ Please ?

...Some more points about myself/my situation ~ I get SSDI , but it is cut into by-the-week pieces , not a monthly (or two-weekly) amount , meaning I tend to not have a large amount at hand to make larger purchases .
In 2013/14 , I got a financial windfall , but it's gone now .
At that time , I did open a bank account , however , at the time I went to WA state in 2014 , I left it alone while I was there (It was in a bank basically?? only accessable in CA anyway) ~ and then , after I came back to CA , I found that the monthly fees had eaten up the maybe 40 dollars I had had in it when I left , month by month , simply leaving it there in the months after I'd left:( .
I've had cellphiones/payphones , but they've gotten stolen/lost ~ and , as I will get too , I posess a SERIOUS lack of KNOWLEDGE regarding tech in general (access , time , and money too but) and REALLY :( bad luck with phones I've bought ~ and my tech knowledge :cry: !

...My badly wounded foot has gotten WORSE , and there's (often) more pain , as I have to walk so much , clearing out at 8 AM , remember , and walking up and down many hills .
I went back to another of the free feeds to-day , they fed me , and it was good ~ And oner of the staffers , within my hearing , referred to me as " Big Nasty " , as he had previously :cry: .
I really do need money , I could take advantage of the certain respites provided by a shelter bed , while there's the opportunity to ~ Again , I have only the set of clothes I am wearing , and some of it falling apart - Like the sports jacket that I keep my stuff in , now with the wallet gone , all my important cards loose in the pocket :( . Some other stuff I've wanted to keep is in danger of being lost ~ I need to get a storage space (I cannot use the drawers beneath the bunks at the shelter , I asked and I cannot though thus far I've left a few things there during the day .) , and I imagine I have to find a new PO Box , having had the current place's owner get mad at me , and forbidding me from using the computers there .
I really am tired , with all the walking I have to do , and my wound on my right foot , again , is getting bigger and there is pain/strain from all the walking I have to do .
I may decide not to further pursue the shelter bed when iyt runs out next week if mmaybe the exaustion/feet situation can't improve .
Frankly , with my record , the chance of jail here still exists and it did , in 2013 , make my then-toe :cry: heal on part , at least on the surface .
My extreme lack of computer/tech knowledge-ability , which my appearing okay in these posts covers up , is a problem too - Time , opportunity , and money all contribute yo that , but above all it is KNOW LEDGE I haven't been allowed to get :cry: .
When I was back in Seattle I asked if any Aspies there could help me with repairing the portable I had then/gaining information , Seattle surely full of WP-ers and no one responded to me .
Unless I get some care - Some medical and , most of all , decent , reasonable , restoff of my fett to let the toe remnants :cry: eal I will never get better I think I will always be a cripple :cry: .
Ifr I could , say , sleep in someone's garage/garden shed , something like that , I could even pay a little - little - bit :( .
