I had an incredible day.
I was asked to go to court in support of a homeless person I didn’t
know, so I went. Actually, on Sunday I found out that another
person who has been involved with Asheville Homeless Network was also
going to be in court… and I found out when I got there that they were
both in the same courtroom. While sitting in the courtroom
waiting, yet another friend came in… he had been attacked by a person
he was giving space to in his home, and the guy told the cops he was a
drug dealer (which he isn’t) — so the violent person gets a
misdemeanor charge and my friend gets a felony charge. Lots of
interesting facets to this case, but I shouldn’t go into that here.
When I left the courtroom, I went to the bank to deposit a check I’d
gotten for AHN. As I got home, there was a message from my
wonderful friend, Carolina, asking to meet me downtown. I spent
about an hour on Pathways Seminary paperwork, then went out to go meet
her… and ran into AHN Treasurer H.L.. I went back in my
apartment to get the business cards I’d printed out for him, and spent
some time talking to him about our incorporation papers, which I mailed
in Saturday. He then drove me to my meeting with Caroline.
She was as wonderful as always. And she always makes me feel
better just being around her. Some others of her friends dropped
in and I got to meet them. And before I left, my
acquaintance/friend Robin Cape, who we just helped get elected to City
Council, came in, and introduced me to her husband. We then
talked about several things, including getting approval (when the new
Council takes their seats) for a Tent City. She asked me to work
up some information about tent cities around the country and send it to
her email.
I headed for home, and ran into Jesse, another person who has been
involved in AHN, and talked to him for a while, then headed home again
and ran into Son Heart, another AHN member and talked with him for a
while.
After getting home, I did the research, and sent out two emails to AHN
and one of those to Robin. Then I got ready for my Recovery Inc.
meeting, which it was my turn to run.
We had a good meeting, although there were “only” 5 people there.
I walked there, and walked back. Logged in over 11,000 steps
today 😀
Came home and visited with John, and watched House with him.
Now I’m home and being beseiged by all my friends on Messenger.
Like I said, it was a good day.
Hugs,
Me
That’s a busy day!
