I hope the couch surfing ends soon and you have a nice place of your own.
I had a sore throat all day but it was still a good day.

couch surfing OMG 
since they confiscated my van, i have to take buses to different neighborhoods
in the area , then beat the pavement, looking for "for rent" signs.
the local paper ( which is kinda large, actually) stopped carrying ads,
except the sunday paper.
my doggies hurt

Plenty of problems, but many blessings too... Old age is really taking a toll on the missus, and more than I like to admit with me, too. Our cars both died a few months back, and our sweet daughter bought us a nice used Honda! Never asked for it, she just was moved to help.
The old trailer-house is falling apart, but is still a roof over us... And our "new" old '07 Kymco scooter keeps on going like the Energizer Bunny... EVERYTHING in life should be as dependable as that old Kymco 250...
Our two old cats have seen better days, with Betty's having a lot of health issues, but with prayer and TLC he seems to be getting a little better. Betty's meds cost most all our Social Security income but we'll get by a day at a time...
All in all, things could be better, but are pretty typical for these dismal times. It just could be that our new president has what it takes to jerk America's leash up short, give her a solid kick in the butt reality check, and get our country back on the right track... It's a BIG job, but he may be the one to correct the mess the last SEVERAL presidents got us into!
We're praying for you to get a home, a car, and another scooter if Chrissy is not still around!
Stay safe, and STAY OUT OF TROUBLE... LOL!
Betty & Leo in Texas
PS: OOPS... Just noticed you were a Hillary fan. No offense... We can't agree on everything... LOL!

Leo
u & Betty were 2 of the few ( well actually counting family& long time friends) people i asked for prayers to be sent to the Great Mystery, every 2 weeks when we had pipe ceremony! we actually has a dept of corrections Chaplin, a Lakota Sioux,
drive 4 1/2 hours every 2 weeks to make sure that us Natives in SCI-Pittsburgh got to have a religious ceremony.
it was always the best 2 days of the month. She was great, even tho im Ute, & not Lakota we both learned form each other, of our different customs, etc.
Chrissy is around, but she's in my tent garage. Hasn't been touched in 4 years so i need to put a lot of work into her, to get back into great running shape like she used to be. Hope she hasnt lost any of her get up and go.
And staying out of trouble. Boy did i learn my lesson about that. Actually i learned that a couple days after my "incident". i had been off my Bi-polar meds for 6-8 weeks. Now i KNOW that im NOT smart or strong enough to go on with life w/o 'em
oh Wheelbender- im sorry i read ur post wrong. i thought it was meant to mean that i was lazy laying on my all the time. Now i get the real meaning. Sorry

Terrilee,
We do indeed pray for your welfare... We never met, but I think you must be pretty swell. Deep-thinker anyway for sure. Have a bone and an electronic hug... And HEY! If YOU are a Native American Indian, YOU should have some VERY special privileges available from the government. Do check it out! Could be you can get special treatment on housing, meds, all sorts of goodies! 
DEFINITELY worth investing some time... Maybe check with a civil rights lawyer. The rewards might make up for some of the grief suffered in the past... And you might think about moving to Texas... In the Lone Star State, being bi-polar is considered a normal condition... Well, almost... This IS the state that originated the defense for murder of: "...the guy jus' needed killin'..." LOL!
Stay safe, be blessed and make life's lemons into lemonade!Leo in Texas PS: Chrissy should be OK. These things can sit a long time and still run well with a little cleaning out and tinkering... and here's my current ride... Old, 18K miles on her clock (original owner says she's been from New York to LA, and Canada to Mexico, all near WOT riding 2-up with luggage!) but rock-solid and one of the few 250's as small and nimble as a Chinese 150... For that reason, they weren't popular, but for this old geezer, it's the bomb! Like a 150 that will hit 80...
Now that I'm decades away from big bikes, these little scooters DO get into one's blood!The whitewalls, saddlebags and fishtail exhaust are a tribute to my "Harley roots". And, since this pic was taken, I've added super-bright LED driving lights (since nearly pulling a "Kamikaze" on a dark curb...) and of course the infamous "illuminated swan". I found it on eBay and I'm sure it's one I had as a kid on a '50 Chevy!!! It's SO thoroughly retro-tacky that even kid crotch-rocket jockeys think it's cool, and ask where they can get one. go figger... LOL!
Just a little piece of nostalgia from my youth... After you're 70, you can do that stuff, and plead "senility"...

HeHeHe... I miss that show! It's not on anymore in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. I really enjoyed the variety of characters in the 'Possum Lodge"...
I suppose the cast was just getting too old and wanting to retire. It WAS funny!!!
