Social Services
2/2/09 8:35 am? Ill be heading for Social Services within
the hour, Im supposed to be contacting Mildred Elley,
theyve left a message concerning my ability to receive all
the financial aid available; Ill take my time responding. I
need to factor transportation, operating capital, employment
and housing; if all the eggs arent lining up adjustments
need to be made. I plan to go to SCCC and check on their
Physical Therapy program, if the time frame and cost line up
Ill study here, being that it would minimize my
transportation costs. I am still very sore from my fall, 11
days ago, upon receipt of medical assistance Ill make a
hospital appointment.
Not only am I sore, Im a bit worried about the unknown,
its not easy exhibiting blind faith when all the signs
around you point to destruction. I feel I may owe Sandy an
apology, Id given her my card and told her about Tanya, I
would imagine that suggested my time isnt free; I didnt
excuse myself when I decided to talk with Cassandra and
Sandy rolled quietly away. Sandy had begun monopolizing my
time immediately, I was merely being nice entertaining her.
Ive realized maintaining my home and personal hygiene is
necessary to stave off depression, when I allow these things
to slack is when depression is gaining its footing, made my
bed and am heading for the shower; Ill even wash the dishes
before leaving and Ive already placed clothes in the
washing machine. I think Ill pack my swim gear and hit the
pool after Social Services.
2/2/09 9:14 pm? I found that Social Services had indeed
moved, there was a woman heading for the door and I asked if
there was a forwarding address, she told me and I suggested
that she allow me to give her a ride; it was a good 2 ½
miles from where we were. She got in the car and thanked me,
the first thing she asked was if stupid was the only word I
knew, I laughed and told her to pay attention to life around
us; she could make her own observations about the general
population. She would tell me later that stupid would be her
word for the day, wed talk about everything under the sun,
Id notice a humorous light in her eyes; she was having fun.
Shed tell me that I needed to talk to someone today and she
needed to listen to someone today, we stood in line
together, shed find that she was in the wrong line; Id
wait for her to finish her business. I told her that Id
wait for her, she attempted to get me to head for the pool,
I waited anyway; Id give her a ride close to her home and
make my way to the pool. Id learn that her name is Valerie,
Ill be surprised to ever see her again, even though the
world is a small place after all. There were times when Id
make Valerie nervous, she wore a lanyard etched with I ?
Jesus, is there room for nervousness in the faithful?
Id get a call from Pretty today, she asked if my invitation
to New York included Chris, I told her that I extended that
invitation because she was stressed out; hes part of her
stress. I also told her that I could explain her presence as
a visit, I couldnt explain their presence for any extended
period of time, besides; I wouldnt be comfortable with him
considering what shes told me of his behavior and treatment
of her. I told her that I tolerate Chris in her life because
she loves him, I dont have to love him, she told me that
she had to call her Mother; I expected her to call again and
she hasnt.
Prettys Mother told her that children generally return home
when things get rough, she cant bring Chris there without
it creating a problem, Chris should return to his Parents
place; Prettys Mother shouldnt have to support Chris and
the rest of her children. Chris Mother is the reason Pretty
got fired from her last job, the Mother didnt want to be in
the presence of her bfs Parents and asked if she could stay
with them for a while, I imagine she sought Pretty on the
site and created a scene; Pretty allowed her to stay for a
couple of days. Prettys Grandmother exhausted her savings
helping them, neither Chris, nor his Parents have been of
any assistance; even though his Grands have their own
business. When Pretty calls again Ill mention such things
as Chris Family being of no use to either of them, how hes
been of no use and what that means for her future.
