Wow, got to sleep in today! Sleeping in meaning that I slept in til after 6AM... Yepp, that was the time that I was getting up no matter what! I have learned alot of things in the past couple of months, and I still say today as I said the day that I went into a shelter! No matter how much money... No matter what.... I think that everyone should experience living in a homeless shelter at least for One week!
I have found that I have met many different people there. Some that are in there for whatever reason.. Some working the system.... and well... Its kind of amazing how the staff of one of these places can be so compassionate... yet at the same time have that rough edge to make different people listen to them! I have learned that there are resources out there for ones that are really trying to get their lives back together! I have met Viet Nam vets... now this one actually kills me... there are our vets out there that are living in shelters! Let alone, there are older people... that one would call a 'Granny'.. or 'Papa' out there.. that probably have worked their whole lives and then to see where some an end up.... maybe not so much cuz of money.... it can be just about perdicuments... that people have oome across, and have nothing that they could have done about it! To me, it just does not seem fair for some of these people! For me, I thought, wow... How can this be? And yet the shelters can impliment certain rules that feels as if they are taking away out constitutional rights.. but you know, there is no law that says that these places have to house anyone ... let alone feed us!
The first thing that got to me, was the fact that the staff had to deal with so many different types of people that only a special person can do that! And they are just trying todo their jobs! I commend the staff at EHC! I am no longer there, although, my son still is! I believe that there are people he has met there, that he feels that he can help! I give a salute to my son! GO BRYAN!
In my next few posts, I will be telling of some of my experiences at EHC (Emergency Housng Consortium) Its been a real experience and I will never forget the people that I have met!
PEACE!

Its Friday again!
Wooooo hoooooo! I have been busy, and have had a couple of interviews, and I have been getting some responses on the resumes that I have been sending out! That is really good thing. I do work a little bit in the kitchen, and the work is fulfilling! There has been a lot things going on! A lot of adjustments, too! Soon, I will be looking for an apartment and you know when that time comes, it will be all good. There are times that I cannot get on the computer to get on line! I have decided to bring in my laptop, and just plugg it up rather than to find an available computer, here!
Anyways, I have made some friends here and most that I am realizing that there are alot of original type of people that I have met here! I do understand that everyone of us are unique individuals, I am finding that a lot of interesting people out here in the world.
I was supposed to go out tonight, but I decided to cancel and tend to that matter at another time! So, I think that I know that things will be okay... I do see a lot of drama around here. Well, I think I will call it a night !

St Patrick's Day
Well, it is a Saturday, and it is St Patrick's Day... I worked a little bit today... Well, actually alot of bit. I am sore and I hurt today. I was working in the kitchen, and I was hungry today!... Awesome!
Anyways, I had the opportunity to spend some time with a friend and listened to some music, and watched some old Rock N Roll Concerts! First it started out with Govt Mule, the Temptations, Deep Purple, an even some Pink Floyd! It was really nice to get out of here for a minute, and to have decent conversation with someone. I have made a couple of friends, here, and that is kewl... But I know that I needed to get into a different enviroment!
I understand that we will be having our Corned Beef and Cabbage for tomorrow's dinner! I will also be working in the kitxhen tomorrow, so I know that I will be leaving or asking some input!! So did everyone get to eat some good cooked corned beef and cabbage???? I will not be cooking it this year, although, I did get a text from my daughter asking if I was going to cook cabbage for this year! I feel like I just need to take a chill pill... and relax,, I want to read some of my manuals... and.. well..... I am not sure.. I know that I do need to relax some !!

Feeling a bit Meloncoly
Yepp, I did go on that interview yesterday, and it should all be good, I suppose. Right now I am feeling something that I am not real sure of. Yesterday, I ran into an old friend of mine, well... he was an ex... and since then, I have been feeling like this. He can actually just think what he wants.. duzzn't matter any more.
What I wanted to do was to say that I am really starting to not like the situation that my son and are going through. I do not want to fall into any cracks, and I am so afraid of this, that it is not funny at all. I am scared and I cannot let that show. I think it is time to see someone... well... wow, we still have the safe deposit box adventure to deal with... There has been so much on my mind that I just do not know!.... Allowing the tears to roll is a sign that I have not turned cold :)!
Peace!

Well, its Been a while
Heyyy there... So what has everyone been up to? I have been taking care of business, and trying to keep a straight head on my shoulders. I miss posting on my bloggs, but sometimes it has been a little hard to even get on line! I am still trying to get the little things straightened out, along with my brothers' affairs.
Trying to get my mail in order, and well, its just been a little tough on the road here. I have an interview tomorrow in the city... with a property managment company...Woooowheeeeeee... management of San Francisco Condo's... Can you believe that? I believe that all that I have been through, there must be a reason for all of this and for me to be where I am at my life right now! I am on a public computer, so to speak....
I do have my laptop, but I have not been able to catch a wifi frequency! :(( I wanted to post a couple of pictures, but it just seems that once I think about it, I am not around a computer...I am taking pics with a cell phone!! LOL I never imagined that I would be taking pictures from a cell phone! Oh well.... I will be catching up as much as I can with everyone's blogs.... I will keep you all posted as best as I can...
PE@CE!
