Where Do I Go?

Post Reply New Topic

While I am still in San Francisco. I've received comments regarding both my health and the climate for me regarding the power structure's opinion of me that has me thinking that I might go back to Santa Cruz...not necessarily for the long-term, maybe as a springboard for somewhere else. Somewhere cheaper, where I could get a place...and bring/have the things I have in storage in Santa Cruz with me. and get the things I inherited from Bruh.
I need to get a new paper copy Social Security card for something important, and I think, maybe, that I could get that done more readily in Santa Cruz.

That sounds very proactive.

Is there a specific residence in Santa Cruz that you were thinking about going to?

Getting a new SS card is a priority. I’ve lost a few of them myself and had to get new ones.

If you have any sort of ID, you can certainly get that done in SF.

First they’ll put your stuff through a metal detector.

Fill out the form. Take a number. Then sit in one of those chairs.

Just be patient. Bring something to read or use your phone. Wait till they call your number.

...Well, KK, you have stumbled - backwards . - on a secondary angle of this for me. The Santa Cruz SS office, at least in my past intercourse with it. is sorta pleasantly small town-ish . - not as industrial/overloaded as the SF one;s gave been in.my experience with them. I had one particular experience with them- Hey, remember these promo ads/commercial spots with Patty Duke encouraging you to get Social Security? (Tho' I don't know if they ever ran on TV, they'd be on monitors within the SS offices.) She's deceased now, IIRC, so I guess they don't use 'em anymore . There was a ad with Chubby Checker duplicating the pose he made one of his original 60s albums though IIRC I only saw it in Spanish. Who knew ?
Twi, there's some " lifetime limit " on how many times you can get a new SS card. I'm far from reaching it, you gave been through more cards than I have...but it contributed to my hesitancy on getting a replacement for my last lost one.

...Letme go into the background here, at least something while my back is hurting
Yesterday, I had a, briefly, This Is The Last Straw! moment with the shelter J was in (MSC South - a 90-day bed) Luckily, I was able to get another shelter bad - As of now it seems to be better. It was through HOT Team. The My nurse Practitioner I see there, though, head some not real great bmnews/opinion involving my kidneys (More larer).

...The NP said that my kid yes we're in. such a state. that I would need dialysis soon. That was not said in the sense of " You need dialysis NOW " , but in the sense of " You will need dialysis soon ". M, which has been said to me before. She was also warning that the state of my kidneys were so that, if it continued, I might not last much longer.
This was not a " You WILL die " but. a " It could happen if ". Now, actually. In. 2016 or so, a doctor at that time said to me that, at that present moment, my condition was so that I might be dead in a year - I made comment about that here and I think a background comment I made regarding thaft at the time is still up. I got better then and that medical warning was withdrawn/said to be no longer a true warning.
She also said This at the housing-oriented Social Services people pretty much considered me not someone they co u'll d work with, not someone to get an apartment for.

...If that is the case, maybe I will go back to Santa Cruz - It might be easier to get a new Social Security card there (which I need to pursue an opportunity for something that would get me some money( - and, the things I have in storage are in SC. I want do much to have a place and read those readables, etc., that are there I find myself thinking of that - and, IF my time isn't much longer - Now, I'll repeat, the NP was not saying that I was going to die - I had had a greater-likelihood-of-death prediction given a few years back and I improved and the possible.death prediction was dropped - But. IF ...
The NP was, in fact. suggesting I apply to Laguna Honda, a kind of pretty-seriously-I'll city hospital - It was referred to as falling in the Department of Hospice Care or suchlike.
As it was described to me, I don't think I'd much like the circuma
stances - I would at least to read those readable, etc., if I am facing a pretty near sunset . I don't want a roommate in a hospital.
I'd like, I guess, to be alone with my stuff The condition of " my own room " I had when I was 18/1\ seems in retrospect to be about the best thing I ever had .
I pretty much lived alone . The Aspergers' " difficulty with social codes " I suppose hampered my making friends - and then other circumstances of my life prevented me from reaching out/having the secure ground underneath my feet to make face-to-face friends .

...Maybe I could find a place in/around SC ~ MAYBE my condition might impress them as " sick enough " ? In the area, anyway. Or maybe prepare to leave for elsewhere? ~ Maybe I could scare up enough money to move somewhere cheaper ~ but where ? My stuff in storage is there. Recently, I was, in theory, a day or two-ish away from " officially " casting myself down in San Francisco ~ by getting a storage place here, with the thought of moving the SC stuff there and getting the stuff I inherited from Bruh sent here. But now I've reversed that. The stuff is, in a sense, my ball & chain...but I WANT IT!! ! At least I could read, etc., and maybe finish out my life comfortably .
It now looks like my latest cheap phone may have been stolen from the shelter - I'll try once again to look to-night - If I can't find, though some money has come...I'll have to buy a new one too-morrow . Always endless emergencies in my life ~ Often, it seems to me/I might argue, imposed by outside forces. My digestive/elimination problems make me have problems with my underwear and pants . Expensive.

...I have practically nowhere I can sit and comfortably read ~ and my eyes are , often, not in great shape . If I get that windfall I think Im mentioned, I would have to find some place before it ran out ~ but how ?

...I really go through a lot of pants - and especially underpants. It's expensive to be poor . My elimation difficties tend to lead me to pretty soiled underpants . Often, they're so dirty - even after just one day - that I.don't want to keep them around - thinking they'd stain. tho vs, dirty thing. even if I do keep them - if I had normal to.e and enough space somewhere to have a safe laundry bag I could leave things in while I'm waiting to wash them and they'll be safe - Well, J do 't have that.
I'm homeless. and now in a shelter with little room. The
a outside pants I wear - pretty much all what are, essentially anyway, pajamas or sweatpants - about the only thing I can easily find that will fit me - Well, after underwear.with soiling is do
Mhas been in just a little bit. I can often see so a poop stavin discernable on the other side and I tend to feel somewhat guilty sitting anywhere with that (I have both underpants and pants on) but I do .
Furthermore. with my limits x shelter space, I have little space. and so few.clithes, and run out of them quick - even if I'm not having my clothes stolen- And I've that happen (and more stolen) so much recentky - two phones stolen in the course of a few days, for instance .

...The big San Francisco Gay Pride thing is this weekend but I really won't be able to go to the " fair " component - they ask for a suggested donation, anyway, and I don't have money for that - Let alone get some festival food, some punch and a wedge/cheesteak . I have nearly NO money, especially after the replacing lost and stolen clothes and stolen phones . I am sort of counting down to leaving SF, when that money I hope for comes in - and return to Santa Cruz, where my stuff is in storage and I'm hoping I could find something there .
