Just a reminder to get your Veteran mail post marked by the 17th.

If you have children that would like to write letters please bring them to me…the letters…not the children…I mean, please bring the children to give me their letters…I’ll take the letters…you keep your children…what a deal!

His name is Jack and he served with the Air Force in Vietnam.

Also, I’ve seen videos of previous welcome home ceremonies and it can be really emotional so I’d like to encourage everyone in Siouxland to be there when this flight returns.

Before I go to bed…ya know, my friend…I have like $8 in the bank, maybe…I have a gift card to get groceries tomorrow…I don’t think SSI is going to help me any time soon…I have no income…couldn’t earn a living anyway the way Covid left me…I have been sick everyday for nearly two years…I don’t have much in the fridge or cupboards to eat…but…I have a fridge and cupboards…and there IS food in them…my apartment isn’t much and it still has damage from my own little flood in 2011…but…I have an apartment…unairconditioned though it may be…and I’ve been able to keep my apartment so far…it has electricity for now…and a functioning toilet and a bathtub…and my bed went through a bed bug invasion a long time ago but they are long gone and I still have a bed to sleep in and clothes to put on in plenty…I have unnecessary clothes…yeah…even I have UNNECESSARY CLOTHES…for cryin out loud the luxury and comfort I have around me right now at this moment is more than enough for me…so, tomorrow I am going to make those clothes necessary…by donating a box of them where they will be given to people that need them…and a care package of some food…I am going to keep moving forward on the Flood Relief Benefit show…because what I CAN DO is necessary right now…I haven’t felt needed or necessary very much the last year…I’ve felt forgotten at times…spending too damn much time alone with what I CAN’T do…and I know what it’s like to need help…I know what it’s like to live without…and I’ve feared losing everything for two years while right now someone has lost everything and they don’t have the kind of insurance that will bring their lives back to where they were…won’t repair or replace everything…that part I feel…and it’s those poor souls I really want to give my unnecessary things to…because they had no idea that flood waters could reach them…but…damage is damage, loss is loss and personal belongings are important no matter how much they cost…I’ll do what I’ve always done…what I can…because when you have and somebody needs…that is what you do…join me…help me make the benefit show a huge success…and if you’ve made it this far tell me where I should take the clothes and food.

Make the world a better place.
For Everyone.

I wasn’t going to post today but I was just sent a link to the Siouxland Choice Awards…I’m conspicuously missing from the TOURIST ATTRACTION category (cough cough and ahem!).

Thank you all for the nominations…I’m honored and filled with love right now.

Voting begins soon….I’ll be campaigning!

One Love, Y’all

I haven’t posted about the Long Covid for a while because there wasn’t much to report.
Some symptoms eased…some symptoms got worse.
My legs don’t work right.
My energy is low low low.
My strength, balance and stamina are weak.
Today I’m feeling sick.
Social Security hasn’t decided whether or not I deserve SSI yet.
Rent is due in a little over a week, utilities are dangerously overdue, Buttnugget needs a vet, I need winter clothes…but I am out of funds.
And I don’t have the strength or energy right now to do some work that is being offered.
I’m not the same person I was before this crap laid me out.
I’ve learned too much about people, our system and myself.
I’m learning first hand how easy it is to lose it all and end up homeless:
I’m learning for the first time how marginalized, underserved, resented, ignored, forgotten and disrespected people in my situation can be.
Long Covid hasn’t ruined my life.
Long Covid has presented me with a new life, new challenges and a fresh new perspective of life, humanity and what’s really important.
Yeah, I need help…more than I’m comfortable asking for…I have for a long time.
I’m not going to panic.
I’m not going to stress out.
It is what it is and I have always gotten by.
Besides, who could stress out with this Buttnugget situation that is still going on even as I type?
One Love, y’all.
Long Covid is real…debilitating…and destructive.
