Prepper's Blind Alley

This weekend was thinking how we all put things away for some distant future
event that may or may not happen. This weekend, I spent doing it for
real….got out my best pack…took all kitchen equipment I thought I could
use and put into the pockets…got out my tent and lashed my sleeping bag to
the pack along with the tent. And then, I stood back and thought some
more…my new sleeping pad, mattress got folded and tried ahead to make sure
it inflated and put into the pack. Here is my bug out packs…my medical
pack, my kitchen pack with tiny stoves and necessary matches etc. pots pans,
my knives, compass, etc. my sleeping bag, tent, and self-inflating mattress.
Next, here is my food packs with food for Harpo good for a month, mine a
week or two, and one pack of clothing for the winter.. worry about summer
when it comes. Make sure you have hats, gloves, socks goes with you…not to
forget as our winter is cruel here. I think hey if can’t stand it may become
the first blind beach bum… But at least my bug out bags are ready. Got one
suitcase ready in case I do get the chance to train with another guide
dog… Other stuff camp furniture goes into storage if I get apartment, or
maybe if I don’t can haul just so much around and with packing Harpo’s stuff
and mine, need four wheels to drag away, a car. His stuff consists of:
medication heartworm meds, mosquito meds. towels, a couple of toys…bones
for chewing, his food in another pack, his grooming equipment… God knows
like packing for a kid. He has his own bags besides mine. Of course his
metal dishes too two barrels of food…small ones to fit someplace. That is
all…enough can’t cart all out in one pack impossible. Other stuff for
storage are footlockers if I can’t find someplace to live here. Well, that
is all…everybody get ready…soon something big comes our way…many
choices as to what will be, but feel it in my bones….Karen and Harpo the
great dog who sits through ten dental surgeries last two years!!

Having trouble finding apartments folks. The first cottage looked at was
okay, but the kids of the owner didn’t want to rent at all. Their father
wanted to rent. So an argument ensued. The second cottage we are still
waiting since two doctors own it having reservations about rental to a blind
woman…and they are in Asia still waiting for replies. Third apartment, not
suitable since was a basement apartment, too narrow stairs for working my
dog in harness a quick exit to take him out in the morning would be
impossible. I am not crazy about renting forced by the scuzzy trustee who
wouldn’t purchase land I had picked up north. I am not sure where I am going
from here if all doesn’t work except possible media campaign, and also the
court. This is the worst situation I have ever been involved with the lawyer
and trustee no good. I’d love to can them both, and have control of cash
almost $200 thousand dollars of my mother’s money at their disposal!! They
took that away from me when she went on Medicaid…great. So, I have
nothing….just social security nothing…. If all doesn’t work maybe just
don’t know what should be done…. Offers to go out west but said I’d try
this first see if court can decide, and I was also advised by a housing
agency not to leave the premises until an eviction, which I will do if
apartments don’t work make sure I get evicted so can bring in the media to
witness a blind woman getting evicted from the house should stir up
something…. Wish me luck. I only have until November sixth until all hell
gets lose. Karen and Harpo “Alleycat”
