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,


S. 

**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....

The Love Gods Have a Sense of Humor

Today I am thankful about the ever-changeable, ever-humorous universe.   It is said that 'in life, the only constant is change.' Ah, this is a true tidbit, isn't it? I recently vowed NOT to date until Michael officially moves out of the house.  I also vowed NOT to be close to him unless he signs up for FOO (Family of Origin) and Relationship counseling.  I've been with the man nearly a quarter of a century, he's not going to go to therapy to have a relationship with me. He plays games with money, divorce agreements, custody arrangements, transportation, and all sorts of things to keep me stuck here.  It's nothing money and a lawyer can't solve.  ***** They say that dysfunctional people have three weapons that they use to keep people under their thumb.  The acronym is FOG. Yes, they are FOG machines. What does FOG stand for? F ear O bligation -and- G uilt Yes, there is fear.  Fear that he won't honor hi...

Personality Theory

Today I am thankful for personality theory. I can't say that I buy into it very much.  People change over the course of their lives.  Healthy people grow.  Unhealthy people either stay static or regress.  So what one tests today may change tomorrow. I do believe that personality theories (even ancient ones like astrology) create self-fulfilling prophecies.  If people buy into it, it gives a lot of insight into their characters, needs, and behaviors.   I've spent most of my adult life studying personality theories.  From Eric Fromm's theory's about authoritian -vs- mature personalities and how authoritians fear power while mature people revel in it to Jung's introvert -vs- extrovert theory.  A major one of interest to me is an offshoot of Jung, it is the MBTI type inventory.  When I'm happy, I'm a textbook INFJ. When I'm pissed off and wanting to strangle my ex, I act like a ESTP.  My ex is a ESTP a...
