The Moratorium on Housing is Unfair
The eviction moratorium in New York, although much needed for some, is being misused by many. Again, not everyone. There is a population being left out and I am one of them. Who are we? We are the people who are being denied housing because I need housing assistance. Supportive housing, nonetheless!!! The article IContinue reading “The Moratorium on Housing is Unfair”
Some things do not change
Even during a national emergency, in a global pandemic and I, for one, find a funny comfort in that. Albeit, that funny comfort pertains to a demoralizing and frustratingly humiliating appointment, that is, simply, par for the course when applying for SSDI or SSI. Seeing a Social Security Administration doctor A little while ago, Wolf’sContinue reading “Some things do not change”
Gratitude: Growth, Progress
Dear Diary, A blog I follow, The Write Nook, recently reminded me to write about gratitude. Yes, I have heard this before. Read it. Thought about it. Pondered it. Forgot about it. Lost touch with it. Wrote it in Daylio (app). Made lists of it. Bought books about it. (List books included). And more, probably.Continue reading “Gratitude: Growth, Progress”

Not because, again, the woman who is my mother, denied me access to her. Again. Yes. Her second husband does not like sharing anything with her children orContinue reading “Goodbye 2020!!!!”
A Dissector and a Fixer
Wolf is the Fixer. For sure. Recently he told me I am a dissector. “Not a science type.” We both laughed because there is surely truth in that. Depending on how you think of science. I am a soft science person. Roles can be dissected. Wolf is hard science through and through. Parts can beContinue reading “A Dissector and a Fixer”
Bored. Now what?
Dear Diary, I am bored! For years, I struggled with anxiety and it resulted in so many problems. I fought to have the cognitive capabilities and inner strength to stop avoiding, summon up enough internal strength and courage to face the problems. (Read my posts about student loan debt for one prime example.)
I cried today.
Sometimes, it is all I can do. Other times, it is a release. Every time, it is needed. I cried because no matter, the systems I deal with are not meant to help people get out. They are meant to keep them in. Don’t agree? That is a luxury I do not nor can IContinue reading “I cried today.”
December 19, 2020
Dear Diary: You are finally able to admit to yourself, nights are the hardest parts. Specifically about 5:00 pm to 9:00 pm when we lay down and snuggle under our covers for bed. Bed doesn’t even mean sleep. First, by that time, it is cold. Of course, this winter has been rougher than last year.Continue reading “December 19, 2020”
