can you drive north? or up into the mountains?

Did you look in to possibly sleeping in a church or going to a YMCA to take a shower. People will help you if you ask. You would be amazed.
Thanks for checking in.

Yes, please keep looking for options. The shelters may be full, but they should have options for you.

Continuing hugs.

Wow. You must be so miserable in that heat. I hope you find a more permenant solution soon.

That is awful weather! Please find a place with air conditioning, quickly. And be sure to stay hydrated!

I stay in the library most of the day. I didn't like taking showers before I ended up in my car. Me level of self care has deteriorated so much over the past year or so. I have no desire to find a place to shower. I highly doubt a church would allow my to sleep inside it. I may ask one day just to be sure, but I'm pretty certain. I can't drive into the mountains, I would be cutting myself off from food and water and what shelter I do have at the library. I refill 5-6 bottles of water twice a day from water fountains at the library and at the store. I drink them all every day. Thank you all for caring.

You may know about these places.
I hope you'll go - they can offer you help and information.
