...Okay , I did go to the Project Homeless Connect yesterday:--
For one thing , I received a voucher good for $7 wirth of clothing at the local Salvation Army store , only on the lower level of less " nice/special " clothes , the day of expiration to-day , Wednesday , which is the " half-price for clothes " day anyway . So I went to-day .
There were really no belts that could fit me I decided to , then , once again go for a stopgap of drawstring/jogging pants :( -they tend to get bad fast , but they'd be an improvement on the present getting-worse drawstrings i have had on then .
Even when I have some money it seems to be " not quite enough " , for example , trying to get a - cheapest imaginable - tablet , the money I'd put in my Green Dot card was , literally , like a dollar too little :( .
It costs $5 or so to put do$h in the Green Dot in itself so , if its not a fairly large amount , it appears wasteful to deposit in it anyways :( .
I did find an acceptab;e couple of T-shirts and some more drawstrings at the Sally , BUT , I just " put them down " somewhere generally and they got took somehow :( !
I had thought " though I have to shower and put on completely new or washed clothes to get my insects :cry: gone , and I tend to feel to guity to go sit down at certain places (Though maybe I'm inconsistent about this:-- "...

...Okay , an interruption here :( ...The cut-off and this restart was because I was at a library , with an hour's running time .
It took a long time to get back on again .
My limited library times have been known to be as short ~ frequently ~ as fifteen minutes ~ More like 13-14 , say as I have to sign in , generally , in every way EVERY time :(
This may have a lot to do with any perception of disjointedness in my writing style :( .
I have NEVER :cry: , until the portables I had recently in WA :cry: had...

Were you able to take a shower when you went to "Project Homeless Connect?"

...Returning to the original subject...I tend to not allow myself to sit down in new/not stricly nessecary places ~ However , already established places , um , I allow myself that ~ like here in the library , figuring maybe , too?? , that the " cushion-y back , wooden seat " chairs won't pick me up ?
The homeless church stuff/supper is held in a parish hall with fold-out type no cushion?? chairs ~ Perhaps I figure that won't pick anything up . My not trying again to the actual , Sunday , services , well , I actually think it's wooden pew-type chairs so maybe that wouldn't...Speaking of churches , a " Homeless Church " in Oroville has plugged itself , with somewhat associated saying he'd drive folks to it , giving a phone # - However , the thought of maybe , in a car , I'd maybe leave " remnants " :( ...I didn't sit down a a plush recliner-type chair (which , however , didn't recline) or similar sofa while I was in the Sally store...

...I thought today , " maybe I'll go to the HSC and get a shower and get iinto ~ the clothes I get from Sally ? ~ and see Avengers tonight before I go to bed at the usual place and start to get back the insects :cry: " ~ I now tend toward ruling out going tot he movies ~ Am I too noble here ?
I did , for instance , the very same day go into (Hard chairs ?) fast-food places...
Someone said at the sally Army that the place would be entirely restocked by 4-5 now ~ Um , it's in fact past 5 now !
I had thought I get new clothes and ~ Keep them , still in luggage/the Walmart bag the Sally gives out till tomorrow then , get a HSC shower and see Avengers tomorrow ?
However , getting a shower against the HSC's schedule of shutting down the shower room is pretty hard , and if I washed clothes ? I tend to think they'd under-dry the clothes , allowing me not quite enough time .
If I had new clothes , packaged , tonight , would that contaminate ?
I had planned to maybe , even , for the " getting something to-day " plan to go to the other charity shop , a Goodwill , figuring there'd maybe , with the large crowd at the SA , less people there/maybe my rather rare sizes/types wanted?? - Hoowever , 'tis well past 5 PM by now I have gone to neither hanging around here to get back on the computer/write...At least I have spent nothing , then... :?: :P

...So now what ? I still have the insects , I even mentioned the suicide thoughts in one of the two (" I pushed the wrong button , the one for ' New ' , not ' Reply ' that I did yesterday...In one I specifically asked the Mod to add them to the ' Where Hould...Aspie ' line , considering how much they move my posts non-asked :( ...)...
It does look rather like any LONG REST ! , that's what I need to heal the hole and start toget better :cry: is unlikely...Unless I did another jail stay w/basic nursing available like in 2013 and , like in 2013 , recover while being jailhouse idle ? :(

...I'm pretty much money-less now and the HPHP , while helpful , isn't indicating toward any right-now place-to-stay :(...As I said , something like a " bonus month " , or even half-month , of $ (maybe with at least a few nights somewhere) could let me at least wash up and pack/plan though likely not really have the wound/leg/balance " get better " :(...
