The view from the Tenderloin

The View from the Tenderloin:

Well, it's been raining, hard. I've done three round trips to the new place, hauling loads on my handcart that my old business partner is putting together. Forty eight point six blocks. I'm going to do three more today. My homeless friend is half way up the block on Hyde, in the midst of an OCD event, one of his defense mechanisms he goes to when he cannot deal with what is happening. He, and his belongings are soaked. I've explained to him repeatedly, that after the shelter in place order is lifted, he can come to me at the new place. The demons in his head are telling him something else. I would prefer him wait inside the old place, but my old business partner won't do anything to help if friend two is there. I get it coming and going.
I am already beat, and I am trying to pace myself. I've got today and tomorrow to get as much done as I can.
Try, hard, for Gods sake, to keep those dear to you close.
God save the Republic

6. Thanks

I have to say, it was something of an epic feat. I don't mind a little hard work, but jeez, I'm older than God.

3. Sounds like an SF Adventure! I've had LOTS of those ... generally I love 'em ...

However, your's sounds a bit like it's bordering on a bad trip ... my best recommendation is a xanax, a shot, and a bed.

7. Thanks

It's been quite adventurous since I've retired. It's all quite kicked my ass.

My thoughts are with the homeless, and others on the fringes. Hard times. I live like a prince.
