Homeless... not yet...

So there is a very real threat that I will become homeless in the next year. Now, I've often thought about it before, thought of what I'd do if I had to live off the land, or if there was an apocalypse of some kind and my house was rendered uninhabitable. I have a couple of houses picked out that I would squat in, if that was the case. Then there are the ideas of camping alongside the highway, among the trees in the median. Or living in the tunnels under certain cities.. Or finding a nice cave or stone hut and just knitting craploads of little squares, like leaves, to keep warm with.

Doesn't really help as far as eating or anything, but we are only talking about the home right now. 

So. These are all unreal ideas, not helpful to my situation, really. I need to find somewhere to live that I can afford (and get a job first to pay for it!), a place that will accommodate 4 bookcases at least. I need to pack all my shit and figure out how big a place I'll need, too. 

I would love to find a place with utilities included. In this general area still, I have all my medical and therapy and whatnot here.  I refuse to pay for oil again, so either utilities included or gas or electric heat... 

And I don't want to rent a room or necessarily be a roommate.. I like my privacy, I want to be able to have everything my way and not feel guilty if I don't get to the vacuuming right away or whatever. Or worry about my food going missing or accidentally eating someone else's. Maybe that makes me selfish. Some would say that refusing to have babies makes me selfish too. Screw them.

Just a test at the moment.

This is going to be a place to dump everything that's been going on lately. If you find your way here, bravo....
