  Even though I may occasionally vent, I am very grateful for what I do have. In this time of giving thanks, I am very, very grateful to/for my sister/niece, my job (and all those who pulled for me to get it), and my neighbors and those in the neighborhood who have looked out for me. Brightest of Blessings in these difficult times, may all you've given come back tenfold. Blessed Be!

  It's also my mother and father's wedding anniversary. So Happy Anniversary in Heaven folks! Glad I went on my adventure to Michaels in Mt. Vernon yesterday, cause the weather is not cooperating today. I didn't buy not one thing on my list (the place had been picked over for Halloween already). When I took a second look at what I was buying, I decided to be more practical. I mainly bought some candle making supplies I needed. The holidays are right around the corner and for those of us who make some of our gifts, the time is now. So I spent the better part of yesterday making candles for Sowan.

  My LED lights and resistors arrived from Hong Kong yesterday, now alls I need is a few odds and ends for my project. I'll have to hit a Radio Shack or something along those lines (I hear they're a bit pricey for LED stuff). I'd like to get a Cricut some time soon, and to set up a dark room for B+W, silkscreening and rubber stamp making. It's nice to be able to do your own projects and not have to worry about whoring your wares on eBay (which as a Seller, I absolutely hate now). It's been a year since I've sold anything on eBay. Gimme a break! I see people just giving their tie-dyes away and I refuse to do that, why bother.

  In remembrance of the Bronx's most favorite son, Edgar Allan Poe, I'm listening to some of his works on audio today. It's also a great day to spend some time crafting with my neighbors, and getting ready for a new work week tomorrow (ironing, ironing ...).

  Still no word back on the C125, when I called the doctors office they pretty much said don't call us we'll call you. Then I get a bill from where I work, I'm not suppose to get any bills I'm covered. I no sooner resolve that issue, now I'm getting another bill from Empire Blue Cross Blue Shield. Then my sister wonders why I haven't even attempted to see the dentist (since I'm paying into it). Not sure if it's possible to ruin my credit any more than it already is from the bankruptcy.

  I didn't want to waste the last day of summer, so I went downtown on a walkabout.



  I took the Express Bus down, (now up to $5.50 each way) and walked on the East Side toward the Ferry. Stopped off at Grand Street and bought 3 tangerines ($1.00), and at the Staten Island Ferry Building there was a Farmer's Market inside; I bought 2 donuts ($1.00) and got on the Ferry (for free). It's a nice way to kill an hour. Took the #5 home at the Battery ($2.25), and made it back before crush hour.

    I just wanted to go one Summer without finding out yet another family member (this time me) has or may have cancer. The C125 results must be back by now, it's been over a week. Every other year we've had some one either find out their sick, or die, around July. When faced with a reality check like this, things change. It changes your whole perspective on life. I no longer had time to waste on the phone with a friend/s whose been pissing and moaning about the same old crap for the past 30 years. I enjoyed the people whom I chose to spend time with, more. Found it easy to say "No" to things that no longer jived with me. Like the friend/s who think their going to show up at your door with no job (or prospects of getting one), to live with you. I'm still paying a high IT/Phone bill from when my friends son stayed here last year.

    Cleared one hurdle only to be faced with another. Went back for additional imaging and received the "All Clear" for up top. No sooner did I get home, and call my sister (the worry wort) to give her the good news, my phone rings with news from my gyn that I need to take the C125 blood test again. This is a test to determine if you have the markers for ovarian cancer. I have some worry-some issues going on. It almost makes me happy to be at work where I can take my mind off of my woas. So tomorrow it's blood work for breakfast.

  I slept for the past two days, I am terminally bored and really can't find happiness. Happiness comes from within, nothing you can smoke, ingest, snort ... will get you there (maybe a little temporary false happiness). I'm totally disgusted by most of my self serving friends who only call me when they need something that I really just can't supply them with anymore; it makes me not want to answer the phone, door, emails ... cause it's always the same old crap. I got nothing but a knife in the back from my so-called friends. I really saw people's true colors when my mother was dying, and because I was kicked when I was down, I just don't trust people. It makes it hard to make new friends when you think everybody is out to get whatever it is they can out of you.

  My phone was down all week, and it couldn't have happened at a worse time. I had just received a rather ominous letter that they needed further imaging from a mammography I had just received. I'm not for this new plan that Obama is trying to shove down the American peoples throats. I got lousy care the few months I was on Medicaid. Believe me, if I find out that Jacobi dropped the ball and failed to inform me I have cancer, there will be hell to pay. I lost my Medicaid when I received a few bucks of insurance money from my mother's passing (enough to keep me going for less than a year until I found a job). I basicly went broke taking care of sick and dying parents. This country treats illegal immigrant better than its' own citizens.
Obama is a fucking commie!!!I'm glad I didn't vote for him, He Sucks!!!
  This healthcare plan of his is over 10,000 pages long and I'm wondering if its' posted online for all to read.

Oh, forgot, when I tried to reapply for Medicaid after my mother died, I was turned down. I had less than $3000. to my name (enough to keep me afloat for 3 months at best) and I was turned down. White people need not apply was what the Medicaid application should have read.

  As a birthday present to myself I went downtown on a photo shoot along the Mighty Hudson and Highline Area. I had one of my favorites, Papaya King, for lunch and a cup of the most heavenly hazelnut ice cream from Van Leeuwen Artisan Ice Cream. The weather was beautiful and I hope my Holga photographs came out good although I wont know for a while, I haven't had a chance to get them developed yet. I did some B+W, Color slide, Sprocket 35 MM Film and Provia 120 MM too.

If you are a member of Squidoo, please Rank/Rate/Review my lens if you happen to have the time (or the inclination).
