As many of you know, for well over a year, I have been dealing with raw survival issues and pretty much alone at that. Oh, I have a few close friends who have also struggled to help, a sister, and even a ex-wife who have done what they can to keep me alive. That story, for the most part is to be found within my articles, both here on TBD, over across-the-street on Gather, and on my web site. As I mentioned earlier, If you Google me, much of the story is recorded in detail.
Eight months ago I found a job at a local casino that just keeps my little head above water financially.
Herein lies the rub. It's summer time in Southern Nevada, on the cusp of the Arizona Strip, just South of the Utah State-line. The heat and the cost of a gallon of gas, not to mention the cost-of-living are all rising, such that, I'll be expected, due to attrition, to work as an outside officer. For the past eight months I've been indoors on the floor of the casino.
At my age, and in my condition ( I had a heart attack about a year prior to my divorce ) it is highly doubtful that I can tolerate the heat.
For the past two years I've been searching for a community that needs me. Life partners with whom I can work & live. With whom I can share the experience, so to speak. It would appear, once more, that I am in that same boat. Thus I turn, again, to the 'community-at-large' for relief.
Any ideas?
