Today I spent quite a bit of time watching a documentary about homeless women who are living in their cars.   It’s far more common than one would think. Quite a few of them are employed.  It was an eye-opener.  I already knew that the fastest-growing  demographic of the homeless are older women.  There is a real problem with homelessness in this country (as in other places, also, but I’m more concerned about the United States.)  There is a huge underserved market in real estate.  If I did not have this apartment, there is no way I could live in this town.  A one bedroom apartment in one of the newer buildings downtown starts at over $3ooo. per month.  All of the new houses being built here have 5 bedrooms.  There’s a real need for more modest housing and it’s just not out there.

Then I came across the weather stories from yesterday.

I was floored.  There was nothing here but some rain and some distant thunder.  When I saw the news story about the tornado and the piles of hail (so much that it looked like snow) I couldn’t believe it.

We escaped again.

The second clip about the weather–you just have to hit the Watch on YouTube icon and it will come up.

Gray and rainy today and it’s going to get very cold.

Have a good night, all.

See you tomorrow.

God bless everybody.

It wasn’t such a good day today, but as the day wore on it got better and I felt completely normal by about 3 o’clock.  I pray that’s the end of it.

I truly want to avoid going to the doctor if I can.  That would be an epic hassle.

Bad enough that with this Nor’easter we’re in for 3 days of rain.

We’ve got the good old gray, cold, rainy weather.  Yuck.

Of course, I’ve accomplished zip these last few days while I was feeling so bad.

Let’s see what tomorrow brings.

Have a good night, all.

See you tomorrow,

God bless everybody.

PS  I loved that the little dog who got bitten by the snake looked so much like my little Dobie.  I miss him.
