Hi Everyone...

HI Everyone How are you all doing? Everything is going ok here for the most part. Well as well as it can go I guess considering where I am living. I found out today that Kathy V. The director of Fulton Friendship House will let me put in the Spoa referral Jan 1 For supportive Housing. So I am going to bite my lip and try my best to bare with things here till then I think. I had my counseling session today and it went well. We are going to meet every other week. She gave me some advice on how to get through this. ANd going to the club and keeping busy helps a lot too. So I really only have about two at the most three more months here. I am aiming for Feb 3rd to be out of here so cross your fingers and say a prayer for me please. Today she made fried chicken in a deep fryer and left a huge mess in the kitchen so I couldn't make dinner. I called saff and told them about it again I guess she is going t get written up for it because they have talked to her about this many times about cleaning up after herself. It was really nasty and well I can't work in a nasty kitchen. ANd I have already cleaned up after her twice already in that kitchen and I told them I wasn't doing it anymore.

She also brought in a bag full of ciggerate butts because she was out of ciggs so she was gathering used butts in a trash bag well she brought them inside the house and started tearing them apart trying to roll whatever she could get out of them. and well the bag was stinking up the house really bad and when she left it there and went to bed I had to throw it away it was smell really bad. Well she got pisses but didnt say anything to staff probably becauz she knew she would get into trouble. anyways its hell here.

Well I stay in my room and try to stay out of trouble and pray a lot latly and it goes alright. the month has actually gone by really fast. so I think the next few months will go by fast too.

Ok well I hope that you all are doing alright. Happy Thanks giving to all of you that are in the USA and Having Thanks Giving.

Hi Mel and Rhonda,
I'm exhausted at the moment, I've not had much sleep since the storm (tornado) hit here on Sunday night , followed by another one on Monday night and been flat out every day. At 64 I'm getting a bit too old to be using a chainsaw all day and lugging tree branches around,.

Everyone in our little area has been so good and helping each other, it goes a long way to restoring my faith, that there are still some decent people around.

I've got everything in our place cleaned up and carted away, except for some big logs and I'll do that soon and then start rebuilding the garden.

Our house survived Ok just got a bit of water inside. I talked to a lady yesterday, who just managed to get her kids and husband out of the house before it slid away in a landslide. We were very lucky, in the suburb we used to live in, the damage was horrific.

I'll catch up with you soon, but at the moment I need sleep.

Take care my friends.

Hugs. Jim.
