Today I Learned...

I overslept today and barely got ready in time to meet my new PCA interviewee, who's very nice and has great references, but can't work nights which are the only shifts I have available. I plan to call her back when I have day shifts; I really like her a lot. But I did get my last night shift filled... Sign in to see full entry.

Nothing Much to Say...

I'm watching TV; having just watched a show about sideshows and how they served as a source of empowerment for disabled people, the first disability performance artists. I have a sore throat and am going to a presentation about Wal-Mart and sweathops tomorrow with actual workers who are having a... Sign in to see full entry.

It's Official! I Really Did Have a Stroke... I'm Just Glad I Know That Now

I had a good day; even if my neurologist confirmed that I had a stroke. It was strange to see part of my brain all wrinkled up like an old woman. It looked very different than the rest of my brain which looked much more healthy and less winkled. Still I managed to be productive. Got quotes on two... Sign in to see full entry.

Horrible Day!!

I'm having a bad day. I messed up all my plans today because I needed to graduate from therapy and my therapist was sick and then my phone fell in the toilet just now (don't ask!). Now I have my period, gotten of course today, and all that comes with that cramps, bloating, general yuck. I have a big... Sign in to see full entry.

It Needed to Be Said...

I wrote a letter to Tammy today, explaining the difference between what we both want in terms of my PCA progrram. I want control of what happens with me and my assistants; she wants to make sure people show up so I don't need to call her as a back up all the time. I think we both need to figure out...

Today...

I was busy all day today; planning choreography and looking for grants. I listened a few CD's from People's Music Network that I bought. I'm so tired because I got up at 8:30 in the morning and didn't sleep while at all last night. I never sleep while; I'm to the doctor's tommorrow. Except for not... Sign in to see full entry.

Last Day of PMN

I'm going to have a dance concert in Bob's house in the spring! I'll pick out music by Thursday when I'm going to hang out in Bob's space and think up movement ideas. I've also hooked up the Philly PMN with my famous disability rights musician friend Johnny; I think I'm officially a member now. I'll... Sign in to see full entry.

My Workload Increasing...

I bought too much stuff today. Six CD's over the weekend and 2 books; I'll probably buy one more tomorrow. This guy Chris Copland is rotally cool. I'm going to make a dance project called "Dances Inspired by People's Music Network '06" (better title needed) for next year. I am also going to talk to... Sign in to see full entry.

I Love the People's Music Network!

I had a great time tonight at the People Music Network; I saw Tom Nelson, Roit Folk, and Emma's Revolution tonight. I'm excited for the workshps tomorrow and wishing I had known I could choreograph a dance for the open mic, which singers call a round robin, tomorrow, but I didn't. I should sleep...
