Magic Street would have been a much better book if it had been half as long. The last half of the book is much more interesting. As I listened to it on audio book, I know it didn't get better until about disk 4 and the first disk is absolutely awful. I almost stopped listening to book entirely. I'm...

Christmas
My mother bought my secret Santa gift. I like it but I am sort of annoyed that I didn't buy it myself. Now all I have to do is go shopping for Ariah who's one, my honorary niece who is thirteen and I also need to buy a lamp. I think I can handle that even though I only have a little bit of...

Whiteness, Whiteness Everywhere
I don't mean people, although Belchertown has plenty of those. I mean snow. We didn't get the blizzard they were expecting, but the entire ground is covered and it looks really pretty out my back window. I'm not foolish enough to try going out in this weather even I really would like to go out for a... Sign in to see full entry.

Occurances...
I went to a Unity First event. I was pretty cool. There was dancing (really good dancing) and a speech by the lady who wrote the Cheetah Girls, which I didn't know was a book. I found out that we are supposed have a blizzard tomorrow. Mu lamp fell over and, of course, my PCA is on break. My neighbor... Sign in to see full entry.

My chair broke.
Don't freak out. It only broke a little bit. I'm fine. After this entry, my assistant just needs to turn a nail and the footrest will be alright again. I break footrests all the time. My legs are too spastic. I can't control it. I'm pleased that I don't think Orson Scott Card is totally brilliant... Sign in to see full entry.

Today...
Writing group ran fine. There were just two people there; small turn out for even our tiny group. I wrote three poems (1 worthless, and 2 I'll work on). I must call the Global fest lady back. She called during writing group. I obviously couldn't talk than. I'm having problems with the library alarm... Sign in to see full entry.

Something learned.
As many of you know, I regularly go to the petitionsite.com because I'm on their email list. They don't always deal with disability issues. However, they tell a little bit of everything that is wrong with the world and what you can do. At last years Vagina Monologues, I learned that lots of people... Sign in to see full entry.

New toilet.
I don't know if I posted before about my plumbing problem. My assistants have to plunge my toilet about every two days. Sometimes, even more than that. Today, however, when I found that the crack on the side of my toilet had grown to a substantial amount I finally called maintenance. I'm supposed to... Sign in to see full entry.

Activties
Favorite episode is next after the one currently playing. Will devote myself to reading material for an hour. Will also create new poem. Tomorrow more shopping and a presentation, and hopefully a movie. I have to find two Christmas presents. I know exactly what I hope to get, but I can't find it.... Sign in to see full entry.
