All well said Persephone. AP, use some of your SSDI money for prescription glasses. That’s what it’s for - to take care of your needs. If you cant pay it all at once, save some each month. Did you get any of your windfall money? Are you getting any from the NY lawyer any more? You only need some plain, sturdy glasses, not “fashion “ ones.

There's more accountability when a place is licensed, though.

I would really insist on going to a licensed facility.

...Briefly...I meant they're closed 10 hours, not 20. A mispost got up. This illustrates theproblem of my posting circumstances . With my back, especially, I can't be Johnny Sppleseed " romantically " homeless anymore . Even Jack Kerouac found it hard sometimes to be " Jack Kerouac " . - and by the time he was my age he was long since dead . I do get generic ftuhdtote hladded. I know I've said that ' Losing them, so frequently . I'll discuss money latet .

..I get generic/non- prescroption glasses a log, I meant. And lose thrm. (I still have them - I spend much money) This shows how hard if is for me to post!

Have you tried putting your glasses on those cords or chains around your neck? You might not lose so many. If you got real prescription glasses maybe you could get bifocals and then not have to take them off and on.

...I'll talk about what I did to-day. Wske-up time is 5 AM? 5:30? It is straining to prepare things and go to the bathroom, bsrrgoot carrying my shoes, to change my underwear there, etc., including the bathroom business - and getting my osntd and shoes is fifficulttiring, requiring me to lean against something . Being in the bathroom a long time meant thst I miss ed the breakfast entirely.
We went to the drop-off (and pick-up) spot. It was 7:25 AM or so. I took a bus to Watsonville an hoit/ish away for somewhere to go. And I thought I'd dose off in the bud seat. get a little more sleep. However, the psin/stinging in various points of me really made me not comfortable . I hung around the E'Ville bus station, tried to lie down on the sidewalk to get warmth got my bavk, but the guard wouldn't let me. Hung around a little more, back to Santa zCruz. again could not really doze off .
I had thought zI'd go to a store and the library in SC but I just felt do tired so went to the drop-off spot, where a lot of homeless hang about. and lay down in the sun to stretch out and get some sun on me, which might deal with the pain, and get some more sleep. I did get sleep, and lots of sun - probably a but too much, but it did calm me dome. Getting up a bit before 3 PM??, it was really too late to do the going to the planned Cruz places.and make use of them and get back by 5 for the official pick-up. I am just so slow-walking:-(. Before I had left for Watsonville I had had some food st a stand in the bus station. In theory, I am trying to reduce to two meals a day.
I did not buy more food, but bough a liter of strawberry Brisk. Fluid, and filling my stomach. I do get nothing-added water from the fountain and place it in bottled and put this sugar-free zVtydtal Light-type feet drink powder in one of the water bottles. the other one pure. I had been trying to get sunlight/heat on torso/back, and did really tried for it there, with the sun-heated wooden benched.
It nearing 5, I walked down to the pick-up spot. I lay down on madam, to stretch out more. I had to wait a while to get on the very small van to go back to the shelter. This turned out to be nice . - the streched-out position I was in let the psin go away - and the perpetual ache/hurting/in m u stomach and my perpetual out-of-breathness stopped!
Unfortunately. this shows by contrast how poorly I generally feel . zit was lying relatively flat on my bsck, on this pavement, with hot dun shining on me, to make it go away. It shows how do really need to be in a situation of being able to stay in a room a great deal of the time to make the pain go awaym:cry: m

But only if that room is licensed.

I’m sure Ezra’s parents would make damn sure that his care home is licensed.

If it was a choice between an unlicensed place or me being homeless, they would probably urge me to go for the former.

If he holds out for a licensed place which he can also afford, I do not think he will find one.

What will happen to ASS-P if his care home isn't licensed? Or what did happen? Is that when they were upset about the bathroom accidents? Because that's not being mean, especially if one can walk.

The one with the bathroom problems wasn’t a “care home,” per se. It was a “single-room occupancy” (SRO) apartment for homeless people. The bathroom was in the hall, not the apartment itself.

When a place is licensed, it’s subject to state and Federal regulations. If unlicensed, there’s less accountability and more potential for abuse.

Think about an accredited college, vs an unaccredited college. A degree from an unaccredited college is unacceptable.
