Ten years of chronic homelessness finally ended on election day

Hello! Sorry for the delay, but I'm slowly settling in my new apartment in Starrett City. I've been wanting to live here since 1979.

I hope to have internet access by tomorrow afternoon. I've had to do without it for a week and it's driving me nuts! With overwhelming help from the community center in conjunction with the veterans administration and interconnected organizations, I've finally secured arguably the best possible apartment and neighborhood. Funding, furniture, accessories.... it feels like a dream! You can imagine how costly it would have been if I weren't a military veteran.

I had a nice birthday dinner with mom last night, and enjoyed a free veterans breakfast this morning. After a tumultuous decade where I contemplated suicide at least thrice, I think it's time I maintain some happiness at long last.

Here's hoping everything stays okay. It ain't a picnic being homeless.

I know a little of what that is like.
Back in 2003, I had lived out of my car for a month in the Memphis area where I came to look for work. When I found a job working for a building contractor, I was able to at least get into a shabby riff-raff trailer park (Lakeshore) north of West Memphis, Arkansas. (better than camping in truck stop parking lots in the car).
