Cheers Monday!

Late post! But I got a very late start; it was hard to find the energy to do all the little chores I had set for myself! But I was amazed that somehow I did:) Getting out of town on the bus during rush hour was particularly excruciating; I thought for SURE I'd miss my chance at some of the more time sensitive things I had to do. But by the grace of God, I made it before they closed--by about 15 minutes, but still. . Coming home, my poor old dirty, downtrodden street depressed me a little, and I started to despair of my place in this world:( But speaking of God, I think He "felt" me feeling bad, 'cause right after one conversation with a guy who told me his sob story about being stranded in GR when he's from Detroit and blah...blah...blah "could I spare any change"...a man walked past and simply said "God bless you, Baby":) Just when I really, really needed it! Life is like that sometimes. The good follows the bad. I floated home quite happily after that! A little late night dinner, a little more research about the event schedule for the venue I'm interviewing for in two days, and I'd call this a successful Monday:) I even went to the pharmacy I don't enjoy. The parking lot is very uneven and there are concrete parking dividers that I tried to hoist the walker over once and failed--painfully. But I got food for tonight to look forward to on the bus ride home, and a couple essentials for my interview:)

Still Not Quite Visible

Alas, Lovelies, I don't think this is anything new. I would argue the news is scraping the barrel for stories with this particular article. I have ALWAYS felt left behind, being that I am immoble except on foot. And now I'm finding a lot of my friends in similarly vulnerable positions as mine--also feel as I do. Just some food for thought. You may think the world is passing you by, but things always look grim from the lense of your own struggles. I will definitely remember that, moving forward. Recently I spoke with a woman who was there with me on the night my late fiance was admitted to the hospital. We hadn't seen each other in years, and I don't think at this moment she remembered me, but I remembered her. She asked me a number of pointed questions about my capabilities, and in particular those about making decisions and/or plans for myself. I realized that from my perspective, I am limited in mobility. But AT LEAST I still had my wits about me. At least I can deci

Out of Hibernation!

Happy New Year, Lovely Readers! It's been shamefully long since I posted, but SO much has been going on lately! Honestly, my schedule is getting away from me, and one of my first purchases of the New Year will be a day planner. Yes, these days even Google has a calendar for your whole agenda, and I could just rely on that to keep me straight. But just because I write something down in my Google calendar doesn't mean I'm going to check said calendar every day! I could miss something, as I did last night, that I had been hoping to attend. I guess that's just another thing I'll have to forgive myself for; I'm not perfect, in fact I make a lot of mistakes, but that's just the way I am. After so many years of my life, I've decided "screwing up" is just something I do, and nothing to get upset over. Which is what I wish I could tell everyone with a disability. So many of us hold ourselves to an irrational standard, thinking we have to meet a cer
