Thursday January 22, 2009

     7:30am  I should make an update already. I've had a pretty good morning so far. I snuck a hit of weed on the back porch. Last night was easy. I got a bed quick. This beautiful girl Elly did my intake. I had a good time last night. I'm all stoned. I waked and baked. I'm heading to the Prado Day Center to do more typing and get caught up and see if I can format the computer and install MS Frontpage. I'll be able to use it all day.

     7:45am  Getting on the bus to go to Prado.

                    Breakfast

                    I was just granted permission to format the business computer! I am so happy. I might be able to get completely caught up here and current. I am so happy.

     1:19pm  I had a little mess-up with the computer. I reinstalled and it's asking me for an Administrator password. I assumed their might be a text file on the CD with the password, but the two other terminals were in use at the day center. Just homeless guys playing Doom. I actually got one to let me see if I could read the CD on his computer, but it was old and it wouldn't read it. The other dude was glued to his command and conquer game, and he let me check and it read the CD, but I couldn't find the right text file. I need to go to the library and try it on one of their computers, where I'll have time to find the password. I couldn't get any bus tokens because I didn't sign up for chores, so I went to the bus stop to see if I could score a courtesy ride to the library. Just my luck, the driver was cool.

     1:30pm  I just got off in front of the library. I'm going to go check my email and try and find the password.

     2:21pm  It's cool. I scored a courtesy ride to the library and was able to find the password I needed so I can use the business computer at the day center, which I just formatted. I'm going to see if I can get a courtesy ride back to the day center. I have to catch the bus to the shelter at four thirty, so I'll have time.

     2:25pm  Hell yeah, I just got another courtesy ride. I'm going to go all the way back to the day center. I'm going to really follow through today. I've got the password.

     2:35pm  Just like that I am back over at the Prado Day Center. I've got the password in my wallet and I'm going to go finish getting my workstation ready for me. Install Office and MS Frontpage.

     2:57pm  I forgot to tell you, I got back to the day center and the password worked on Windows XP. I'm installing Frontpage right now. Actually, the whole MS Office suite. I am totally souping up this computer.

     4:22pm  I have had such an overly productive day. I have a workstation at my disposal. I have Frontpage and have already started making HTML files. I am already in Ocean Beach in my HTML files. I still have to proofread and add pictures. I wonder how much work I'll be able to get done here. I was able to get a bus token from Sunshine. I told her, "I just souped up your computer. Don't suppose that's worth a bus token?"

     4:38pm  I am on the #2 bus headed back to the transfer center. I'm going to catch the bus to the shelter. I got a bus token from Sunshine. I just got on the bus. I'm all stoned.

     5:20pm  I have a very magical update to make. I came to the transfer center and when the bus that goes to the shelter came it was packed, so I waited for the next one. See, my frontpack zipper finally died and I asked them if they had any backpacks at the day center. I was given a brand new huge Adidas bag. It was way too big, but I made do. Anyway, at the bus stop right now Robert, another guy going to the shelter, he had a nice blue and black backpack on which would be perfect for me. I asked him if he would trade and he actually liked my big bag. He said, "Maybe, mine has too many pockets." The Adidas bag was big and only had one big central compartment. He ok'd the trade and I just got a badass new SWISSGEAR bag that perfectly matches my uniform and is exactly what I needed. Robert had just been given the SWISSGEAR bag at the day center himself. Praise LOVE. The blessings are everywhere!

                    Listener

     6:01pm  I am having such a great time in San Luis Obispo. Everything is falling into place for me here. What a blessed town this is. I've got a workstation at Prado.

                   And I jumped on the bus because I had a bus token from beautiful Sunshine from the day center. I was telling this guy my story when the bus came. He was digging my story and agreeing with it big-time. When the bus came I told my story to a couple other people too. I am going to get so much work done tomorrow.

                   I don't think I mentioned, but I put my boots on today. I'm walking good.

     6:39pm  I just got told to take my shirt off at the shelter. Nobody wants world peace!

     6:48pm  I came out to the back porch where everybody smokes. I was looking in the buttcans for snipes and CJ volunteered me a cigarette. I appreciate it, CJ. Everybody gets credit.

Next day..
