What I wish for

A new wish list for things I need will be posted on the website soon!  Orders will be placed through Amazon.com.  If you would like to see what is on my list thus far, you can search for my wish list using my email address, padschicago@aol.com.  I pretty much just have health-related items at the moment.  More items will be added.  You may see similar items for some things as options to choose from–I would only ask for one.  I seriously, honestly do and will appreciate any help you can offer.  Thank you so much!!! 

Blah

Don’t feel good today.  My chest hurts and pulse is low, my stomach isn’t good all the way through.  My kidneys aren’t working right.  The food served at the overnight shelters is great, but it’s too much of a good thing for me.  But I need to eat.  It really doesn’t feel good to not be in charge of my own food.  I have no money–I can’t go to the store and buy something “healthier” for me.  I don’t have a Link card.  I am so tired of living like this!  Literally.  It’s hard to stay awake sometimes because of my health issues.  They can seriously put me to sleep.  I am actually afraid to eat when I feel like this.  Not just because of how it affects my stomach, but because eating can cause such bad palpitations and screw up my heart and I’ll have more chest pains.  Headache isn’t too bad right at the moment.  This isn’t the best type of life style to be sick.  I’m lucky–it’s not severe this time.  Only moderate at best.  So long as I don’t eat anything high in protein/potassium/phosphorus/sodium/carbs for a few days.

It’s not all about sex

I am human.  Sure I think of sex!  But I sure as heck don’t need to do it with just anyone just for the sake of doing it!  I was approached again by someone about going to a motel.  In this living situation as well as with my other problems, I don’t need that kind of relationship right now.  There are other things to life that need my attention.

You don’t know the harrassment I get!  Every day someone makes a comment and stares areas of my body.  Can’t people stop trying to get me in to bed and undressing me with their eyes?!

I would love to have a normal relationship.  It’s so hard for me, and especially living like this.  How do I explain carrying my things with me?  I can only use the excuse that I am going to do laundry tonight only so many times.  I really wish I could meet the right person though.  It will be easier when I have a home again.  This is not the time or lifestyle for dating or to even have casual sex with just anyone.

I have just added a new Careers page on the Pads Chicago website!  Currently there is a list of links to several job related websites, and this list will continue to grow.  I also plan to add other information and possibly some downloads in the future.
