First and foremost, I would take Oliver to the vet. The kitty has been sick for at least a year now. I took him to the vet a year ago. I couldn’t afford to have him diagnosed any further. He had a Mast Cell tumor and he was very very thin. they prescribed some Prednisone; he eats ravenously usually but has gained no weight and is now pretty weak. I can’t get more prednisone for him unless I take him to the vet again. I can’t afford that.
Second, I would rent a car so I could get around. I say rent because it would give me some space to go out and look for a car to buy.
Then I would pay my debts, the most personal ones first, and get straight with the IRS.
Look for a better place to live, with more room and closer to the city’s action.
I would work on my Hebrew and study scriptures seriously and try to write articles and meditations.
Work on my idea about the Hebrew prophets and divine punishment as a kind of natural theology.
I would find time to get the old journals into this blog, and to put more of my poetry on my web site.
Visit Chris and Michael and then go round the country to see old friends, especially in San Francisco.
