I went to a presentation about Housing First, put on by the Stable Foundation. Excellent. And all the usual suspects were there. I have missed the big picture discussions. However, depressing, because it takes money and there is less and less of it. Separate services from housing. Do not require treatment to keep people in housing. Research shows they will improve (85 retain housing) if supported in housing at 30% of their income.
Returned to ALT to work on volunteer handbook, attend staff meeting. Volunteered to put out email newsletter every month or so. Step 1: looking for software.
Went to doctor for physical at 2:30. All is well, except sugar continues to rise (100 to 111). Still pre-diabetic, not yet diabetic, so that's good. I told her Ray and I are working on it, eating less carbs. She said, check again in 3 months, can put on diabetes medicine for prevention. Cholesterol down, due to meds. Blood pressure up. Lost 5 lbs since last year's check up. Yay!
Went home, made tomato sauce and supper. Went to meeting at UUFA re GA Sunday service August 7.
Home by 9, TV, bed.
