3 hours of sleep from trying to stay out of our house and stay safe. Not complaining, just a fact. 7 years of this is wearing me down. I am glad I have a place to go, but not being safe and living in fear is taking its toll sometimes. At least there aren't many fireworks tonight. Last night it sounded like a war zone. There were fires, firefighters had injuries and I"m sure some others did as well. Some said that this year was the worst it has been in STL ever for fireworks.
sIndependence Day is over. Hope you all had a nice, safe one.

Can't think much. Need to take advantage of the free wi-fi while I can. I know safety numbers for DV shelters and the like but I do not have a phone. No food. Lost my bus pass, feel stupid for having lost a $78 bus pass @ the bus stop. Food pantries have been closed for days, I guess because of the holiday. I will try again tomorrow.

I love St Louis and I"m from here but I really think we could all use some help. Seriously. People have been moving away, some as far as the east coast. Others, I have no idea. A few just moved to outer STL co. I will stay here. Even if I had a choice, I'm staying. My loved ones (well not all, but some) are here. I will not be run out of my hometown as some have tried to do in the past.

Oh, and the suicide rate has increased in the past 7 years here in the STL metro area. People tried to get me to commit suicide many times. They call it "suiciding" people.

At least, I wasn't murdered as so many have tried in the past 7 years. Saw the light quite a few times but I'm still here. Someone once said to me that God has me around still for a reason. Wish I knew what it was...

Just tired. Dragging. Ignore the negativity.

Take care of each other. We're all we've got. *hugs* Peace be with you.
