The Day Started Out Beautifully....... (With Edit)



Today I am thankful for intention.

I woke up and decided that I could do more good focusing on finding a job, running my business and donating 10% of my earnings to the charities that will challenge the laws that do more harm than good.

I thought I'd put positive vibes out there to everyone; the creepy neighbor, the lady that runs the animal shelter, the poorly trained animal control lady.....everyone......

I have an I-phone.  I cracked the screen and got it wet.  So, once in awhile I can see the people who call but I don't know what they want because I can't log in and hear the messages.

Someone with the city has been calling me.  I admire this person for his or her persistence.  The number appears to come from the City Manager's office.  I'll call it in the morning. 

Maybe they're trying to behave and help people.

See?  A little positive energy was all I needed to give the situation!

That's great!!!

One of my hypnosis clients gave me $100 and demanded that I keep it.  I promised this person I'd teach him self-hypnosis for free.

I didn't feel right taking his money.  He didn't feel right not giving it to me.

So, we agreed on giving the money to a homeless charity (or a church). 

I was impressed!

My idea is working already and it's only been a couple of hours!

I was incredibly happy.

I was feeling good about things.....

A local attorney is getting ready to challenge the pit bull law.

The idea of sending her money sounded really darn good.

This is workable.

I don't have to even think about running for office ever again.  I just need to give money.

OR SO I THOUGHT.

My dream came crashing down ten hours after enjoying it.

I'm too irritated to go into a discussion of the ADA and how there is absolutely no requirement to register a psychiatric service dog.

Nor do I feel like going into a discussion right now about how mental illness is a health issue and any city attorney arguing that it isn't is doing a heck of a disservice to the municipal mental health center.

Maybe I'll update the post to explain the issue. 

Let's just say, I'm trying to talk some friends into running for City Council.

I'm almost ready to secure 200 signatures.

Someone's gotta change it.

If there are no other takers, it may as well be me. 

Running for office makes more sense that complaining all the darn time.

Love ya,

**The original headline was that Aurora denied a disabled man's request to keep his service animal.  In the past two hours it has been changed to read that Aurora is reviewing the request.

Maybe.....I don't have to go on a diet and wear TV make-up!  Let's hope so.

If I run, I can't write any more fictional fun on this blog. 

EDIT TWO DAYS LATER:

HOORAY! The city will allow this person to keep his psychiatric service dog -but- it is still violating the ADA by requiring that he register the dog AS A SERVICE DOG (scroll down).

I need to get a job so I can donate to this lawyer.  This nonsense has got to stop. 

This may be a step in the right direction, though.

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....

Venus Meditations

  Today I am thankful for my new realization.  In my world, Friday is the day of love (reminds of The Cure - lol).  It's true.  Friday is the day of Venus.  Exhausted as I was after work, I went to my altar and lit a candle asking that my friend find whatever his life is lacking. Then I went upstairs and did my Friday night ritual to Aphrodite.  I lit a candle asking that I gain confidence in my ability to love.  I also ask that I recognize true love.  I was too exhausted to linger so I tried to fall asleep.  Have you been too tired to sleep?  It's horrible.  Your mind goes round and round -  you might recall things that happened recently (like the doctor telling me to be careful because I haven't hit menopause yet and I say, "not worried about it" while thinking that it's a good time to be in a sexual drought - hooray for me),  or things going on at work  (that I can hypnotize little cranky babies to sleep without sa...

Welcome to the Club, Zuckerberg (also a warning)

Today I am thankful for realizing that I am not alone.   There is a frustrating feeling that one gets when trying to educate lawmakers about the reality of the world in which we live. I saw this feeling expressed by Mark Zuckerberg during that charade of a Congressional hearing he took part in this week. Zuckerberg looks a mixture of angry and frustrated.  I know that face.  That's the face where I am stifling laughter so hard that it looks like I'm going to cry. That's my political face.  My background is in social science and psychology.  Imagine how irritating it is trying to explain that city policy is based on the concept of a traditional nuclear family (mom, dad, kids - people tied together by blood or legal policy).  As such, there are laws on the books that break up other types of families (more complex family systems of economic cooperation).  Trying to explain that there are  people who share economic resources without bloo...
