Hello, Anyone Home???

Ok folks. It's been a month now, that I've been off the streets !!!!!

YAY !!!

They say that if you do anything every day for more than 21 days that it becomes habit. Well, lets hope this habit sticks - this habit of having a home.

I'm pretty much adjusted to it now. There is always that period after leaving homelessness, when a person feels a bit depressed and actually misses the old ways, but I've now passed that, and am feeling pretty good.

I sent an article to Associated Content for possible payment. Hopefully they will accept it. And will pay me for it. The last time I submitted an article to AC, they declined it. That was a downer, and I gave up on them. Well, as I most definitely need to make money to maintain my place, I have to keep working with AC and make it happen, whatever it takes. As I have taken on more, I am obliged to raise a minimum of $200 a month, just to make it through to the next month. It can happen. I know of others who have made that much money with AC. Getting enough food to eat for the month is another story.

I've tried with before, with limited success, but it would be worth another try. I'm declaring June as "take-a-homeless-person-to-lunch month". Anyone wishing to take me out to lunch may do so. In exchange I offer my witty repartee, and sincere appreciation. I would also like to hold a food drive on my behalf. Canned goods are good. Parishables and non-parishables are welcomed. Anything you've got in the pantry that you probably won't eat, I'll take it. Just email me and we'll arrange delivery. thanks.

You can still find me most days logged into Second Life as "Rez Messing." Come by and say hello. I'm always up for a visit. We can talk about whatever.
