Recently On The Homeless Guy

This morning, at sun-up, the temperature was 62 degrees. Now at 11am, it is 51 degrees. We will be down to 32 degrees before the day is over. The past 2 days saw highs in the 70s. Such is Nashville's weather.

I now have a new (to me) laptop. It had been stripped over everything but XP, so I've been adding things to it, running it through diagnostics etc. If someone has a spare copy of Office, I could sure use it. For now I'll use Wordpad when needed. The laptop is a Dell Latitude D800. The screen is wider than I've had previously. Can't wait to run a movie on it. The color of the screen is a little yellowish. If you know how to correct that, please let me know. Otherwise, the machine works great, is fast, and has lots of storage space.

I had a meeting with my first real meeting with my case manager yesterday. We have a sheet full of tasks to take care of and goals to meet. It will take some work, and overcoming some obstacles, to get me into housing. But try we will. The first housing will probably be ghetto-ish, but other applications are being worked on, so hopefully I'll be able to move into a better place in short order. My first apartments in Nashville were around Vandy (vanderbilt university). My first jobs in town were on West End Ave, which runs right past Vandy.

It's going to rain most all day long today. There's a bible study/bring your own lunch, thing at church at noon. I'll be going to that. I don't have a ticket for Room In The Inn tonight. So, I might have to stay at the mission, which means looking for a safe place to put the laptop.
