Homeless tomorrow

San Francisco Tenants Union. Last I checked, they were at 558 Capp Street in the Mission, think it's off 16th and Mission. If they've been thrown out of the Old Victorian, just google their name. They can negotiate with your landlord, and SF landlords HATE the SFTU, because if the SFTU gets wind of something like what you're going through, the LL is likely to find several dozen angry teenage anarchists on his office doorstep. If he won't budge, they can put you up in a squat. Squats aren't great, they are rather filthy and everybody tends to be stoned, but the union squats are run rather well, and they look out for their disabled squatmates and boot out drug addicts. Anyway, if anybody needed the Tenants Union, it's you. Check them out.

...REALLY brief-like , and I'm sorry that I didn't get this up before , but , as of last night , I do have a temporary - specifically so - place , in many ways , I have less than I had before , I don't think it's viable for long-term...Like I said , short and I'm sorry ...My library time is running out , so ! !! !! !!...

...However , I have been rendered fully homeless again , as of right now !
It should?? be warm to-night , anyhow...

ASS-P
I hope you're thinking clearly, which is almost impossible when in crisis mode. To simplify things a bit, here are the posts that stood out for me:

1. pezar mentioned San Francisco Tenants Union. See if you can stay in one of their "squats".

2. Lupine is located south of San Francisco. She has offered to help with transportation, you could PM her.

3. garyww is located north of San Francisco. He has also offered to help, you could PM him.

I don't live anywhere near California, but feel free to PM. I was homeless for a few years, but I had a car to live in. You need to make sure your foot stays warm, dry and clean. Unless you have that already taken care of, perhaps you want to go to Salvation Army or other thrift store and get something warm to wrap your foot in. Also Salvation Army or other thrift store may know of homeless shelters. It's worth a try.

I read in a WP post--I think--that hemp oil is supposed to be good for diabetic foot wounds...not sure about that though..I'll do some research.

Edit: Hemp oil is known for its wound healing properties. But I was unable to find any information about using it on diabetic foot wounds.

Good luck.

...I have to spend so much time WAITING to use a computer , and , then , even when one's nearby , there more immediate waiting , and , distractions before I can get something " substantial " (like this) up ...And , I often end up forcing/sh*****g it out , just to get SOMETHING! up .
I want to sleep some , but I need to do an errand , and more , and get food , even after I write this .
Really , a squat sounds possible - I don't think one can just walk in and get sent to one , however , I tend to think .
And , it would help to look better - cleaner - than I am now .
But , it won't be 'til Friday the money comes for that .
And , then , I'd have to get clothes , maybe get a motel room to get clean and in the new clothes...and then what ? On a Friday afternoon with much of my money by then spent ?

When I've been in similar circumstances I've often found a spot of a river or an irrigation ditch where there's enough concealment that I can take a bath and wash my clothes, even in urban areas.

You gotta search to find places like that.

Not as effective as a hot shower and a washing machine, but it makes a huge difference, and it's much cheaper.

Besides that, I get to look at the trees and sky, which you usually can't do in a bathtub.

Hmm, is there possibly a home for auties in the Bay Area?

Possibily they can help you?

List of support groups throughout California.

Just don't go to Sonoma County, and I doubt you would anyway.

ASS-P I wish I had some useful advice to give or help to offer...

You will be in my thoughts, I hope things are improving for you. Thank you for the updates.

...One of the lenses fell out of my only remaining pair of ( " reader " drugstore ones ) glasses , and , unlike the times it did so before , cannot be found . So ...My main money is in tomorrow .

...I got the money Friday and I was able to replace those glasses .
However , I was not able to get the replacement pills , Friday or to-day , even Saturday , when i was supposed to finally get them .
I have only one left , and will start hurting after they run out .
Furthermore , I suppose I did spend what woulld be seen as too much money on magazines and cafe (not library - I had to do things Friday , for one) Internet use such as this and fast food , whle still being fully homeless .
I tend to run through new underwear in a week or two , say , just wearing one til' it's too dirty - Much of the time I can't go to a bathroom to s**t and wipe myself . That's not what I want to do , but the circumstancesforce me into that position - And the diabetes pills ( Which I am also out of too . ) tend to make me do that , stomach reaction-wise , too . I took some " anti-deficant " ( which tends to give me an ultra-mild high , too . ) pills , but , I'll eventually pay for that , when they wear off .
