I was sick this morning. So I didn't go to the park again. Tomorrow, though I'm going to two! And 4 on the next day! Then I'm going to feel out the grant application; I'll have Jackie help me write it out; she has good handwriting. I also need to call the senior center and the local schools. I need...

New Job (Again)!
I'm home and I brought lots of junk food with my foodstamps today- lasagna, Cheetos (two bags), OJ, and awsome Ben & Jerry's. Tomorrow I'm going to pay Kelly the computer guy $21, I'll still owe him $400, but it's a start. I joined Fairs and Festivals today. It's a list of craft and art shows. I...

Grants I Want...
I was walking or rolling to the post office to finally mail the books to ADWAS for the auction and I ran into (or almost over) a Gardner snake. It was black and yellow and nonpoisoness, Sal (my PCA) told me. I got back the money that was for ADAPT Utah via Paypal. Tomorrow, it's off the Quabbin... Sign in to see full entry.

I've Decided Not to Spend Time Working on the Alphabet Zine...
I was going to try and finish the Alphabet 'Zine for the Philly Zine Fest, but I've decided not to try and kill myself and write bad poetry to boot. I need more time with it. That's okay with me. I'll need to barrow money for Philly Zine Fest. About $300 should cover it. Where can I get $300? I'll... Sign in to see full entry.

Today...
Jane Jackson (a radical disability rights activist old woman and my friend) has died. Today has sucked. The van service left me, I lost my PCA in a mall (yeah you read that right), I peed myself, I had my overnight PCA get sick, and I spent all my money at the mall. The only good things that...

Today...
I was supposed to an evemt tommorrow, but I'm so tired I think I'm going to go to services and sleep lots afterward. Of course, maybe I'll feel better in the morning. I've calculated that going to Philly for zine fest will cost me about $350, counting food and everything. That's not bad; about 117... Sign in to see full entry.

Job, Plans, and other works
I got home at 5:45 today; over two hours late. The hearing on the Community Choice Act went well. It was good to see my friends after just two weeks. I wish I could see them that regularly all the time. I got a job, paid blogging at this new website called Disaboom - a disability arts, culture, and... Sign in to see full entry.

The Weekend has Started...
Today, I hung out with Sarah, went to the Belchertown Fair; where I ate lots of junk, (including BBQ pork and fries), saw a really moving quilt by MADD (with panels made to celebrate the people from Western Mass who've died in drunk driving accidents, kind of like the AIDS Quilt), and brought I hand...

Today
Almost got arrested again. About 500 ADAPT folks invaded one of the Illinois Governor's office. I helped block an escalator. That was scary at times. But I held my ground.. I'm going to watch the news in 12 minutes. I hope we made it. Sign in to see full entry.

Action Day 2
Dear Bloggers, I got arrested today, but not really. They only gave us tickets on the sidewalk for blocking the doors of the American Medical Association. I would like to see anyone else try that and only get a ticket. My new friend Galen is typing this for me because Belinda is tired. And being... Sign in to see full entry.
