So Much to Do, to Say, to Think About Part 2

Well, I was going to talk more about the conversation I had last night with the woman from DPAC. I was going to talk about how we compared the terrible conditions for poor/disabld people in Britain to the terrible conditions for poor/disabled people in Canada.

Yes, well, this evening something happened to prove to me that the system sucks to the very core. My commode/shower chair had one of its wheels break off. As you can imagine I need this chair to take care of my daily needs.

Right away I called Motion Specialites and explained that it was an emergency, and I asked if someone could come out and fix it as soon as possible. They said that they would see what they could do. Three hours later I received an email saying nobody was able to either drive out to fix it or give me a loaner. They said the soonest they could come out would be Friday.

There was no tone of apology or even sympathy in the email, and this really made me angy. Couldn't they imagine how this would be for me without a means to go to the bathroom?

I know there's more pressing issues at hand, but not having a pot to piss in has to be up there!

So Much to Do, to Say, to Think About

I had an especially busy day today.  First, I went to the vet's place to buy cat food.

And then, I went to Loblaws to get food for me.  And, after that, I stopped in at Starbuck's for a quick frappuccino.

When I got home, dinner was eaten fast and furious - I had to go to an OCAP meeting/potluck/party at 6:00!

This particular event was interesting because people DPAC (Disabled People Against Cuts), an activist group from Britain, had been invited to tell us how the cuts are impacting their lives in the most negative and horrendous ways.

I chatted at length with one woman at length, comparing notes about how disgracefully and neglectfully our governments treat their poor and disadvantaged people.

Shameful!

I'll write more on this subject tomorrow ....

So Much to Do

I have so much to do!  Yikes!  Because of working on the proposal and speech, I'm behind in so many things, like, employees' scheduling, finances, and note cards for my membership.

Here are the card designs I'm going to send out to my Dandy Membership customers:

 

 

After I finish all of my work, I can go back to painting again.  Yay!
