It might worthwhile to make your own portable shower rather than relying on a Loves/YMCA or gym membership Example: https://youtu.be/XEnlZeRu3x0 Fancier builds are possible depending on what one has to work with. Example: https://youtu.be/MoiBSK5G_K4 At that point, it becomes only a matter of finding a source of water and a private spot to use it.

Public parks with water fountains are rad for freely filling up large jugs at odd hours. Many supermarkets have water vending machines that are relatively cheap if other clean water sources are hard to find. Generally, it is a good practice to map out areas that have been helpful for survival (e.g.: pin these locations on Google Maps for future reference).

Since it is a bummer to wear dirty clothes after showering, similar considerations can be applied to laundry. Some use little handcranked or pedal-powered washing machines, or make one out of two industrial buckets and a sink plunger. To be honest, I find a lot of that impractical. A small washboard and a large bowl for holding wash water is good if you can manage it. Where to ring out and hang?

letslearntogether 6 months ago

Availability of showers and laundromats is variable for me. I rely heavily on disinfectant wipes to keep fresh, shampooing and brushing whenever I can refill my water bottle. I also regularly spray down my clothes with antibacterial laundry spray and let them air out. If I have enough water while out in the desert, I will sometimes wash things by hand or in a small zipper bag too.

I have never had to take care of a pet out in the wild/on the streets, but that adds other factors to it. The portable shower might help to keep Ella clean too. I did hear about one guy using his food money to regularly buy things that both he and his dog could eat rather than buying separate food for them both. These little ideas sometimes go a long way in helping one to save money over time.

...Anyhoo, you are probably already familiar with all of this. If it is not helpful, let me know and I will shut up. A lot of the worry and stress that I had when homelessness was suddenly thrust upon me would have been lessened if someone had shown me how to find reliable ways of meeting our basic needs. I always try to do the same. Take care.

LLT - definitely appreciate the thought, consideration, and share. Right now, it's mostly a financial obstacle to getting a lot of that sort of thing in place. I'm managing alright, for the time being. Not saying it's not a struggle, but I've got other things to prioritize. Also, I don't wanna settle into homeless life too much, a little discomfort is good motivator!

If anyone has any DoorDash gift cards or similar that they’re not using, I could definitely benefit from them. Pretty damn hungry, no cash, and little gas left in the vehicle.

I gave up on 12+ years of veganism because I felt like I was dying with how little I ate for how much I have to move and carry. Mostly live off of canned spagetti, tuna packets, and old discounted bakery bread. Plain Greek yogurt, granola, and salad kits when they are on sale. Canned beans and veg every now and then. Powdered milk and breakfast shakes when I need extra vitamins and can afford it.

Dumpster diving and skimming trash cans doesn't always yield edible food around here, but I am grateful for the times that it did. If you can manage it somehow, being able to cook opens a lot more options. The less of a trace that you can leave, the better. Example: https://youtu.be/SF993dqT2v4 Be careful trying to use electric hotplates on random outlets. "Theft of utility services".

Whatever happens, don't get discouraged. Continue to take care of yourself (e.g.: hygiene, sobriety, stress management and other forms of self-care, etc.). Have constructive goals to work towards. And always remember that the kindness that you sincerely give will eventually be returned to you. At the moment, my means are limited, but if there is something I can do to help, reach out.

I hate to keep askin' but I got almost no one here where I moved and my landlord is threatening eviction by the 10th, as we head into a holiday wknd where I can get nothing accomplished. I recently secured employment at a local groecery store. I've been living without power, borrowing from a shared outlet in the hall to keep my food cold. My first paycheck will not be until the last half of the month.

If you ever wanted to help someone out, I couldn't use it more. Message me to discuss if you're concerned about simply donating and would like to be paid back. I've exhausted all my minimal resources.

No suggestions but just wanted to say that a new update will only show up on the activity feed every 24 hours or so. If you make multiple edits in a day, then there should be only one feed entry.

I use BBEdit (free) to get the rough done before uploading, but there's gonna be the handful of inevitable tweaks that will add to the update count. But as I was writing this i just remembered that neocities counters for the feed clogging by "stacking" a good amount of the updates one site goes through into a single post. Plus the most important thing is no one really cares as much as you do.
