Prepper's Blind Alley

Hello friends. This is not my favorite month..August the curse of my life
usually. This means, having plenty of cold drinks in my house, no time on
the beach, and plenty of time in front of my air conditioner. It also
explains partially, why I have not posted for a week or more much. Several
crisis rule my life right now. I am still in search of my next residence,
which is an ongoing battle. I practically spend 24/7 looking on the web for
somewhere to go. The battle began when my dear mother went into the nursing
home due to Alzheimer’s disease, and I got involved with some lousy lawyers
and a trustee I can’t get along with, (we always disagree on everything),
which is why I’m just begging to leave this place…or at least part of it.
The other part is, the lawyers involved have let my mother’s house
deteriorate giving me no cash to renovate anything, so repairs remain undone
as I have no money at all to do it…and I just about make it through every
month due to the fact Medicaid laws will not allow me to have my mother’s
money, a crock as far as I’m concerned. But anyway, I remain grateful I have
done some preparation here for my own disaster, but what I will do when
these preps run out? That is the question isn’t it. I can tell you, I will
never go to a government camp…they can chase me all across the globe until
I drop before this happens. Anyway, what have you done to prepare for the
oncoming problems? I was reading a site earlier today, where folks seem to
be calling for a revolution…what will happen especially to the elderly and
disabled?? I don’t know, except I do know that the worst can happen to the
most vulnerable in our population. At one point, my friend and I discussed
seriously, getting out of the country, but recently, I was advised that
maybe it was better to remain here due to the fact that as an American I
might receive worse treatment abroad if things break down. I don’t know if
this was the correct analysis or not…as I haven’t had cash to travel
outside the U. S., although many blind friends have done this with their
Seeing Eye dogs who make all possible. Well, in case you decide to stay
here, I am not sure it will make a difference as I have seen that the
government is using gps to mark residences here. What happened to the old
concept of privacy?? Gone forever?? Who knows. Unless folks jump up finally,
and say, “I have had enough” we will head down the road in the same
direction I fear. Meanwhile, back to my six bottles of Gator Aid, my
lemonade, my tall ice cream soda…so much for nutrition in a month I just
can’t tolerate. I used to live in California, Sacramento, where the temps
range from thirty or less to 120 degrees, and this is why I don’t live there
any more. When August goes, for us in the northeast, there is another worry
on the front of our battles, the hurricane season which, in the past has
done us no favors beginning in September until November, and then winter. So
for those in the northeast, prepare. Remember just because we haven’t
experienced a real hurricane for a good while, it can still happen again.
Then, those on the site, if you will and everyone out there, pray for me.
This old house with no repairs can sustain nothing if it gets worse. What is
the answer to my current circumstances? Perhaps to wax philosophical,
religious, I need the Lord to come. That is the answer these days I believe
as a Christian. Otherwise, I have no answers as this is the worst situation
I have ever had the displeasure to be involved in after many conflicts
throughout my life. I have always been able to get myself out of a fix, but
not this time. The other time I couldn’t happened when I was a kid. The
teacher I had in public school was a hired Braille teacher, and her pleasure
was to constantly scream at her class and verbally abuse us daily. I got to
the point, I wondered if I really was stupid which she spared no words, each
and every day. This time of entrapment, lasted from age nine to twelve, when
this witch was discovered by someone I think, because one day she was there,
and the next, she was placed with a nondisabled classroom, who she continued
to similarly torture…I was next door and heard her yelling. I received
thankfully, a new teacher after years of torture, but by that time, it was
too late, the damage was done. I went for years afraid of adult correction
of any kind, and had completely shut down talking to teachers…but slowly
over a year’s time, she did improve on my circumstances, and I finally
learned to read…something the former witch didn’t teach me. You will be
glad to know, I went on to become a high honor student in my public high
school, and on the Dean’s list for my college career…so I had conquered
that early battle. Honestly, I cannot see an end to my present battles. That
is unfortunate as if I could just jump into a car, and drive away?? Believe
me, if I could do that, it would have happened a year ago or more leaving
this old house and estate in the trustee’s lap since her name remains on
the property not mine. Well friends, back to that nice tall lemonade…Until
then realtors keep coming into this house keeping me busy cleaning up the
place on a daily basis. Also we have the battle of the realtors’ complaints
about my pets, something I told them to “shove it” and “Don’t talk about me,
my dog, or my pets any more”. So wish me luck. It is time to clear the deck
of medical problems my small friends have as two guinea pig boys had a nasty
fight this weekend, and are on meds for the next two weeks…wish us luck.
My dog has been on meds for itchy problems for the last two weeks, and I’m
climbing further into debt with these things going on. I also have few
groceries for this month too…is this the end times? You bet…but if I get
hungry I can break into those supplies I was hoping to have for
awhile…hey didn’t I say, “the disabled get it in the mouth first?” see the
current plans the government has for us, health plan?? Okay bye for
now…and I’m yours, the sleepy Alleycat who gets no rest over the keyboard
in search of new digs” The alley isn’t enough…there must be a place
somewhere?? Right?? Take care until my next blog…and prep on.
