February 25 - February 27
3 Days
"310 Miles to San Diego"
Sleeping: Little to none, Street Side
Eating: None
Income: None
Comments: There was simply no way around this. I had to reach SD.
February 28 - March 3
4 Days
"Exploration"
Sleeping: 6 Hours, Street Side
Eating: Low Quality, High Quanity
Income: Very Low
Comments: I'd always wondered how the homeless could be so awfully fat, and I now have my answer; there are soup kitchens aplenty in San Diego. You can spend an entire day eating...without stopping. I spent this time discerning the who's who of the street and networking with staff from the various eateries and churches. Two days of collecting cans and bottles gave me enough to finance an import project involving Mexico.
March 4 - March 6
3 Days
"Comfort"
Sleeping: 8 Hours, Indoor Cot
Eating: Mid Quality, High Quantity
Income: Low
Comments: There's a popular outreach here that's taken me under its wing. It supposedly takes a few months to get inside, but it's amazing what a little Dale Carnegie magic will do in these situations. A vote from "all" the brothers is required; I'm an atheist. Hmm...
Let the old man talk Biblical interpretation, the night manager nutrition, and the 24 year old pimply brother about World of Warcraft until his tongue bleeds...apparently that's the recipe for being considered awesome in their book. :P
This is also where things started to become tricky. I'm "comfortable". I can eat and sleep to my heart's content. I almost considered stopping here for a rest...but why?!?
March 7 -
"Unknown"
Sleeping: 8 Hours, Bed
Eating: High Quality, High Quantity
Income: Low
Comments: I've found a work exchange position that will provide me with room, board, and a percentage of the profits. I have to move about 5 minutes from Downtown, but that's a small sacrifice at the moment. I'll let you know how this turns...
All in all...8 days is the amount of time it takes to regain your footing in San Diego. Easier than I would have ever guessed. :D
