New Gigs

Today I am thankful for new gigs.
 
 
I managed to get the volunteer opportuntity to help warn people about fraud.  It's only three hours a week.  I'm going to do it until I can find a paying job and then, at that point, I vowed to help them with their food drives and other events.
 
I had the car today.....hooray!!  I was able to drive Downtown for the interview. 
 
Karma was on my side, I found FREE parking!!! 
 
On the way home, I drove past an elderly man in a wheelchair that was hit by a wind gust.  It blew his cowboy hat off of his head. 
 
No one stopped to grab the hat!!
 
Not even a postal worker!! 
 
So, I went around the block, parked, and grabbed it for him. 
 
This man had asked me to put it on his head. 
 
He had a horrible sunburn on the top of his head. 
 
Worse, his hat had been hit by a car and a portion on the top of it was missing! 
 
I straightened out his straw hat and put it on his head and wished him a good afternoon.
 
I ran back to my car. 
 
I had just bought a new blue straw cowboy hat at a tag sale.  I was hoping it was still in the car. 
 
It wasn't. 
 
It would have meant more to him than it does to me. 
 
It would have brought out his blue eyes, too. 
 
I hope that man has another hat at home. 
 
The way we treat our elders in this culture is incredibly disturbing!
 
Please....do all the good that you can do in the time that you have in this plane of existence. 
 
Love ya,
 
S.

Stalker Proxy Phone Calls

What kind of songs do narcissistic stalkers sing?  I imagine they sing songs like this.   I am grateful now that I understand why the stalker has people call  but   wish they'd listen when I ask them not to call again.  I probably should document this somewhere.  My ex was talking to an old friend of mine from high school on a daily basis.  She is his cousin.   I had to quit talking to her when she'd ask me to plan parties and then refuse to give me the guest list saying that the attendees would only be me, her, my stalker Shannon, and my NPD mother-in-law.   She wanted me to plan interventions.   This happened with a baby shower.  It also happened with a wedding.  The in-laws put together a fake wedding trying to host an intervention to shame me and my ex into doing things for them (like quit school and give them my car).   I had to cut this so-called friend off over that in 2004....

Time and Trauma

  Today I am thankful for stories; they are often the easiest teaching tool.  The other day I had an interesting conversation with a social worker.  She complained that one of her patients was stuck at a certain year -  let's say... 2008.  This man talks about 2008 constantly.  He shares photos of 2008 and letters of 2008.  I asked her, what happened that year?  Well, three members of his family died.  His best friend died in front of his eyes.  His spouse died.  He lost his home.   The man was wealthy.   Sadly, the evil eye is real.  Covetousness is real.  The U.S. justice system enables abusive lawyers to swoop in and take control of the wealth of well-to-do elders.  There were fights over his assets**.   The lawyers threw him out of his numerous homes.  The man was then homeless while everything went through probate and the relatives fought over the estate.   His wealth ...

Visiting the Graveyard in my Hometown and Addressing Fears I'll Soon Join the Party

 Today I am thankful for a laugh.  It didn't start out funny.  My aunt visits once a week to use the washer and dryer.   My new dryer broke just a few days out of warranty so we dried her clothes outside. While standing outside, she took me aside an said "I don't want to alarm you, but....." then she got silent.  I pointed at the shed.  "Are you worried about all the stuff pulled out of the shed?", I asked.  "Yes.", she replied.  "That happens all the time!"   She advised me to chain the door.  I've done that.  The thief just tears the roof off.  It's easier just to keep crap in it I don't care about so the thief can rummage and take what he or she wants.  Again, I was advised to consider moving, especially after finding a full gas can in the mess.  My aunt is afraid my ex-husband is going to kill me.  I've been court-ordered to live here for another two years.  Sigh.... I'm sure a judge would allo...
