$2000 is lots of money for three weeks.

Where do you get food?

How about that disabled bus pass?

I wasn't aware he was there for the 3 weeks, he was telling us that he would get a few days at the motel, have to leave, go back to hospital and get a few days at the motel (and he was telling us he would land in a shelter after the motel stay was done, which seems to be not the truth). So...if he wouldn't give up the room for 3 weeks and the motel didn't get payment, then yes, he would owe about $2000 (95 and some change for 21 nights).

Did the motel operators take your belongings or did someone break into your room and steal your things?

...I lost a draft a couple hours ago on the bus to Watsonville*, it did have Wi-Fi but I ran outta juice like seconds before getting it up/a mistake happened.
I will perhaps go into detail about the motel set-up later. Not now. Was I not clear enough? " Not entirely friendly "(?) Om is speaking, so...
The motel was not paid for by the Santa Cruz fund, it was paid ~ as in authorized?? ~ by the lawyer from NYS. The long spoken-of possible money for me from my brother's former thing set up for his support by my mother and father, money from it, finally revealed itself to be real and happened, only earlier this week.
During a previous post-hospital time at the MSC I had said to the lawyer, who has said he wants an address to send the things I inherited from Bruh to, that I would have to get, when I was out of hospital, a storage space first and would need somewhere okay for immediate post-hospital stability by doing so.
THis time my comment was followed by funds released , the very first time, again, after months, I had been told I would receive from Bruh's fund, let actually receive anything. I have yet to receive any cash from him. I do not even know the set-up of the funds, how they may be paid out, we have not discussed that.
I do not know whether he will be a permanent " uncle " regarding this or no .

...*-I went to Watsonville to: get on a warm bus for an hour, same price as a local ride! Turned out it had wi-fi that worked. And, actually, sit in a chair with a back .
And, go to the K-Mart in W'Vil and buy something green, something wet, and something Riverdale ~ some cheap thing to wear for St. Patty's - a cat rope toy, I''m wearing it now in my jacket pocket! Some beverage ~ Powerwater? was 89 cents? - something Riverdale, see if they still sold Archie digests, which they did which Inteprid Boy Comics Reporter will let me known on other comics sites where I'm not out that I'm HL. - Um, every body remembers/recalls threir collections (Or, anyway, it's implied thay have one.) - I have none .

...So, some money has come in. Most recently ~ post-the theft ~ he says he'll send a check by mail. next week.
After the theft ~ which I am sure involved the hotel people themselves (or their homiez ) stealing my things, that night, I wrote the lawyer.
I tried to post here ~ as I had tried to post when the fortune seemed good ~ but couldn't/didn't (RIGHT NOW, I am at the library's better computers .). I was really tired and stayed there that night ~ in the, admittedly newly clean, room.
When I had got back there that Thursday, BTW - and now maybe the people who diss me as " You never do anything to help yourself " will pay attention here ~ Having only my normal money, I did not (and have not as yet) receive any cash from the fund ~ Wednesday, I bought supermarket food for myself to cook and eat there in the microwave that was there (Which I guess I didn't mention before?) at the Dollar Tree store. Thursday, I went to the HPHP, on the way scoping out one possible storage place from the bus on that rainy day (The HPHP was to tell them where I was ~ and make first inquiries on how to get pot - edibles & oils - for my BAD BACK! Have I mentioned THAT before? ), then, I ~ luckily ~ bought some clothes at the Sally Army.
I returned back to find that the MSC, who I had asked to do my bed, for the first time it would be done after five?? I think nights there, had registered objection to my housekeeping and wanted me to give them info on getting a deposit from the lawyer. I said okay, they gave me a new key ~ I went, and my stuff was gone! All but literally everything I had. Spotlighting: (all IIRC)
Plenty of supermarket food ~ I could spend less and heat my pore, cold-backpained body! Taken from the refrigerator.*
Clean ~ and waiting for cleaning ~ clothes, mostly?? underwear by then. A very expensive pair of shoes I'd bought with saved-up money when I got out of the hospital was gone also .
Outdoor/camping equipment (tarp, raincoat)...which were in one of my two " real " luggage items, an Army-type duffle bag ~ falling apart in fact but I still kept stuff in it. That was gone also.
Much reading matter ~ comics/whatever, kept neatly in a chest drawer. All recent stuff and some super-cheap back issues the latter bagged and mostly boarded perhaps looked " valuable ". For prose books, 2 of three in that duffel ~ That expensive large-print big-sized NRSV Bible I mentioned buying a ways back, a mass-market paperback I bought at Target of Blade Runner/Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep (Philip K. Dick), a trade paperback bought at Goodwill of Lucky Jim (Kingsley Amis), this one in the drawer.
The prescription meds. I'd taken them every day! They were ALL non-glamorous hypertension, etc. meds...but perhaps someone thought they were something they could sell out back !
I asked the lawyer to send me some money by Western Union and arrange some other lodging for me long-distance.
Oh, and since I guess I didn't spell this out ~ the new set of clothes I'd bought (Um, new to me, you know? Literal Aspie time !) were all my clothes, aside from what I had worn outside ~ a bit damp by then, some of them anyway. Just one piece of underpants, remember, what I had worn.
I was tired, stayed the night, wrote, got much sleep ~ made a phone call w/smartphone leaving the place to go to convenience store slightly uphill, where I bought a bit more food (not necessarily in this order) for immediate quenching. Over the night wrote, eventually got to sleep.
Decided to drop asking for the inpracticality of long-distance arrangement of lodging, reduced amount asked for by Western Union. of lawyer. I had sent him the same letter I forwarded to Aunt Blabby during the night I just had so much frustration getting something up at WP - and in an attempt to write anew to AB and Kraftie Kortie - I forwarded the letter to AB/KK, though I ended up writing a fairish length intro. Finally sleeping then waking up Friday, I saw no E-mail message from the lawyer. He seems to value phone calls moore.
I called, he claimed to not understand the letter I had sent to him (The same one which I sent to AB.), he would not send me Western Union money, but he would put a check in the mail ~ on Monday ~ at nearly 4 it was too late to ask him to write a check, he said. Clock-watcher!
I pointed out that I had almost no food & almost no money. He said " I'm just a lawyer , I can't help "!
To spell this out, before I discovered the theft, I anticipated a weekend centered around staying in the room rather tight on money, and, I guess I have to repeat this ~ I had never received any cash from him. All the intake for that week was my SS amount Post-the theft, clothes, food, more ~ all gone ...I had already decided I had to go at some time soon ~ Would you consider, paid-for or not, a room in this situation safe? In the long term? She knew the lawyer knew I was here, and I told AB and KK to let someone else know, just in case.
After this I finished my little food there ~ decided that the SA shelter would be adequate, and would get me one good meal a day, anyhow.
I packed up everything to take ~ I left all the worn-on-WWednesday clothes bar the underpants. Too much weight in my backpack, anyhow.
I left, and ate, sugaring up to be able to say that to the hospital, where I could also report the meds' theft, went downtown ~ walking (as I often do). I did, eventually went to the hospital. Figured I'd get an overnigjht there, if nothing else. That's what I got. I got fixed up a bit, got some prescriptions for new meds (They're now turned in but not picked up.),got dropped off somewhere, waited a while, took the Watsonville bus, did that, came back here.
Now, I am anticipating going back to the SA shelter. It's at least one good meal a day.
I have to get to the lawyer about what ~ and where ~ I want him to send $.
You may ask, " Did you call the police ?". Not yet. Do you think I should. Bluntly, do you think they'd pay attention.
Yes, I suppose I may have to write off that $2000. Should I have stayed there, with no food, and management like that?
There may be something I've left out here.
The lawyer is not my uncle, to spell that out, that was a metaphor ~ On the earlier draft I brought in Gale Gordon as a metaphor ~ would that have been more obscure? Less? Same?

...I don't think the lawyer is an enemy. After all, he is where the money - now, anyway - is coming from.
I REALLY DO NOT KNOW what the set-up of this all is.

I can understand why the lawyer doesn't understand what you wrote him because I can't understand that long post you wrote. And I'm not a stupid person.

...Welk, circumstances tend to not alliw me to have " normal ", uninterrupted, not rushed writing time on a reliable, easemy to operate, machine . Do you go through that?

Re: $2000 write off. Did you check out of the hotel formally and properly? You should only have to pay for the nights you stayed there. Or was the $2000 paid in advance and was to cover more nights into the future? The time to request a refund for the remaining nights would have been during check out one would think.

Yep. That’s normal for hotels these days: those credit card keys.

That $2000 could have been your apartment deposit.
