Post-Travel Exhaustion

I'm so tired... I can't focus on my book review assignment or really do anything. I'm glad to be home, though, even through I leave again Friday. I guess I'll chill with a movie or something until I wake up more. Then I'll call Alexander back and soothe his ego. I guess it was sort of rude to leave... Sign in to see full entry.

You'd Think I'd Robbed a Bank or Murdered a Grandmother!

I am annoyed and frustrated beyond belief. I received my readmission documents from Canada. They require $150 and various documents that I don’t even have because the biggest offense I’ve ever committed earned me the equivalent of a traffic ticket, the paperwork for which I turned over to ADAPT....

Assistance Needed... Can You help me Get to a Conference in Canada?

I learned yesterday that I got accepted into an international disability rights submit in Winnipeg, Canada ( you can check it out here ) which is a follow-up to the 6 th World Assembly that I attended in Japan. There’s even has a special young people’s pre-event for those of us under 30 (which is... Sign in to see full entry.

Can You Really Feed a Kid for $8 a Month?

Does anyone know if those "Feed the Children" Programs Work? I would like to donate to one, especially because I saw one of those infomercials this morning when I was up with a muscle ache and got really emotional because the kids (this time it was Kenya that was featured) live under rock ledges and...

You suck, Poonam!

Some able-bodied (AB) people suck and some are awesome. When you are disabled you meet lots of both kinds. I have really devoted assistants and friends who help me out a lot (often for free or less then I should pay). Most of my blogging friends are AB, I assume, and as I’ve said before I wouldn’t...

In Case You Were Worried

I'm happy to report that I'm feeling so much better today. I can actually see the light at the end of the tunnel in terms of this illness. I got some good sleep last night for the first time in weeks and I am over my stomach pains. Even managed to be alert enough to call Jerry Kerry's campaign and... Sign in to see full entry.

Up and Down Day

I overslept this morning and kept my morning PCA late. When my next assistant came, I took drugs and slept about 4 hours. Then I got dressed rather smartly in denim shorts and a bright red, button down top and went walking (or rolling) in my complex and to the grocery store just to be outside in the...

On the Weather

Last night was scary with lightening, thunder, and even power failures. I hate unexpected darkness and loud noises, so I didn't sleep much. I hope tonight has better weather (it's still a bit breezy and it stormed earlier for about half an hour). The Olympics are over, so I'm off to bed now. Wish me... Sign in to see full entry.

My Friend

My good friend is a bit younger than me (several years) and I worry because her boyfriend is 40-something (he was married when she met him). She seems to have these delusional thoughts that they're going to be together forever. I say a leopard doesn't change his (or her-- I'm no man basher) spots. I... Sign in to see full entry.

Update in Real Time

Had a nap earlier, so my energy level is stronger than it's usually been at this time lately. It's so odd to be tired that early when I used go out until at least 10 or 10:30 every night. I watched Martina Navratilova, who I wasn't named after, lose at tennis. I'm watching this black guy from... Sign in to see full entry.
