It's 10:10am, I'm still alive.

Except for a humiliating 20 minutes in the lobby of a hotel whose junk fees increased the cost of a room beyond my means, I was out all night. I haven't slept. Everything hurts. Please help me never have another night like that.

It's nearly 3am, I'm cold, Exhausted, and couldn't pay for the hotel because of incidentals deposit. So now $50 short, I had to leave. I'm now in a worse area. Please help me get somewhere, please. Please.

I guess this is where I'm spending the night. Alone, outside, in the cold. I was generously given money for a sweater. I don't know where to buy one at 12:30am in Denver, though.

It's 9:30pm 10pm 10:40pm 11:11pm (properly terrified, and cold no sweater and it's chilly) and after a Zillow mugging I still need like $200 for a room tonight. I'll let you have almost any painting I have in storage if you Venmo $200, name, address and top 3 painting choices. I can get it out of storage and ship almost anything tomorrow.

The kid was picked up by an ambulance 30 minutes later.

Now as an adult working in security I get SO MANY folks- upper-middle aged mostly- coming to me to 'rat out' people they think are faking it.

I was once sent into a bathroom because a client demanded that the "fucker won't get out, so go drag them out"- I was NEVER going to do that, so I did a wellness check instead. You know who it was? A person recently released from the hospital after a car accident. They had a hole in their skull and major hearing loss. They couldn't answer the owner because they couldn't HEAR the owner.

Another time about a homeless man who got around town by kicking the ground from his wheelchair. "You know he doesn't actually need that thing, his legs work fine, it's just for pity points"- Oh, so he's not paralyzed, his wheelchair is performative? Funny story Dale, I actually know that guy, he was backed over by a truck and has chronic pain from his shattered pelvis. But sure, let's make him stand up and walk everywhere so nobody feels too bad for him and tries to help him or something.

"She doesn't need that scooter, I've seen her get out of it."

"Look how fat he is, because he just rides around and refuses to get up."

"She doesn't really need that cane- she comes here without it all the time"

Never beating the bird freak accusations.
