paint the world

Hello every 1, I am trying to go to florida to keep sober and do the right thing. My only friend is getting hip replacements, "both" and he has a job that we can both benefit from. I am a painter and he was a painter. He is now 65 and needs me to help with the project. I don't know what to say. I am homeless but have a laptop thank god... I am staying with the only girl I have ever actually loved. She picked me up from a tent I was living in.  Thats it.  I'm in knoxville .  Thank you for your time...  James B
