I got the niftiest Christmas present this year — a trip back home! My friend flew me back to L.A., to house-sit for *her* friend, while she’s out of the country for 5 weeks.
It hasn’t quite turned out like I thought it would. Someone whom I thought would race to visit me didn’t bother. The house I’m sitting is *remote*. I can’t get any bars — no mobile signal — up here, and can’t get out of the area to visit on my own, since it’s 3 miles to the nearest bus stop. I could take a cab to that stop but, oh yeah, did I mention I’m doing this gig for free?
Still, it’s been lovely being with people who *like* me! I’m so sad (and feeling very anxious!), now that the month is about up. I go back this weekend, to the uncomfortable living arrangement I’ve had for the last year, to be glowered at and nagged. As soon as my disability status is settled, if they decide in my favor, I can resume my life, albeit in considerably reduced circumstances. If it doesn’t settle out my way, I’ll be *really* homeless.
But, I’ve had fun, that’s the important thing!

Oh, things will settle, one way of the other!
I’m focusing on the positive. Annoy a four-leaf clover for me, would ya, or maybe send some good vibes my way? ;-)
