A Work In Progress

I want to start by thanking all the people who responded to Stacy’s post last week and sent badly needed cash, either to my PayPal account or to the GoFundMe. Now that the stress of the eviction and moving is done, I’m in transitional housing north of downtown Las Vegas, and I’m finally done with the course of Cipro my wound care nurse put me on, I’m feeling a lot better, and ready to get back in the blogging saddle. It’s been a very difficult couple of weeks, and there’s no question that your kind words and prayers helped as much as the donations.

The VA came through for me and got me into the previously mentioned transitional housing, which those of you who have served in the military would immediately recognize as a civilian version of a transit barracks – someplace to stay while the organization running it works with you to find someplace more permanent, and on finding income streams to support you. In my case, that means sorting out the problem with Social Security that’s holding up my SSDI, starting the paperwork to claim VA disability pay, and ditto for a small VA pension, which I am entitled to as a side effect of being poor & qualified for SSDI.

Unfortunately, none of those are going to show up soon, and tax season doesn’t start until January, and even though I don’t have to pay rent any more, I still have bills to pay. If you can afford to hit the tip jar or donate to the GoFundMe, it would be very much appreciated; if not, please consider buying stuff through the Amazon links on my posts. Again, heartfelt thanks to all of you in the commentariat who have been kind enough to do so already.
