Grateful for Solitude!

Today is shaping up to be a truly dull day. My health is limited, and I have nowhere to go, no one to talk to.....I guess I've made a nuisance of myself too often, and now no one wants to be around me. No one wants disabled friends. We can't drive, for one thing. And we actually have problems. It would be nice to have someone besides my parents to talk to, but oh, well. Not going to dwell on it too much. The human race is a shallow, useless bunch. I'm supposed to grateful for every crumb they throw me......

Death to August!

I am having a really, really boring week. Absolutely nothing interesting has happened. I've been cramping a lot, but the meds do help. I feel like I just need a vacation, but a nap is about all I can afford. I'm going to the Dems tonight with Carrie, if the pain goes away. I just feel like something has got to give, or I'll snap again. I hate August. It's not the romantic, dreamy month I had it pegged as. It is truly a month of death. Lots of little deaths, until finality is anti-climatic......

I got this on Facebook. Amusing but true.

The Sad State of the Union

By picking Paul Ryan as their VP candidate, the Republican party effectively has told me that the disabled, like myself, are not welcome in the United States. They only see the elites and their upward mobility. What about the downtrodden and our survival? Food stamps aren't only for the "welfare queens" of the popular imagination; most people on disability cannot afford adequate meals without them. I'm tired of going without in the name of Wall Street. I live below the poverty level, and very likely will never live above it. As my father said, if Paul Ryan thinks his cuts are such a good idea, why doesn't he try living on social security? I am destitute through no fault of my own. I refuse to be ashamed of how I was born. "All men are created equal" is a popular slogan, but our country will never live up to that until we stop judging each other, and worrying that someone else is getting "special treatment" that they don't "deserve."

This is really amusing, and I'm too lazy to write a blog today.
