Turn The Page

The page has turned and I have a new month to fill with blogs of my life and things let’s hope I do better than I did last month. I don’t know why I have become so slothful but I have and this must change, a writer writes, and its not like I have not had a vein of inspiration to mine—older sisters provided a surprise visit which resulted in a dinner with the fam and the construction on my building continues—which is pretty much my fault and I am yet another month closer to retirement, so I have stuff to write about. I just need to sit down and make the effort.


With the arrival of September the temperatures have dropped, the night have cooled significantly an mornings traveling to work I am thinking I need to drag out the hoodie for warming comfort. The days still get warm to hot but seems to be a different even then the heat is not the same….my theory is the shifting of the Earth on its axis has something to do with the change and everything. The work on the building continues, the construction of the front of the building has commenced and a major piece of concrete has to be demolished from the front of the building meaning the use of jack hammers and other hydraulics needed for such a challenge which means a great deal of noise too. So much noise that a couple of days in August it was near impossible to carry out conversations on the phone. You all remember this building does not have proper, legal access to people with disabilities i.e. me so in effect the work is being done for me. Actually, I do not think most of my staff has reasoned this through as yet or the staff is just too nice to say anything about the inconvenience being my fault and of course this all should have been long before 211 or I every arrived on scene. This week begins the third week of construction and we should have been past most of the loud construction by now but they, the workers have run into a problem and it should be a couple weeks longer. I am currently having to access my building via the under the building parking ramp the ramp is steep. I would never be able to push this ramp in a manual chair but have no issues in my powerchair—this entry might be a bit dangerous come winter but, not now if I keep my eyes open.

There are other issues of access which must be considered in this building, the most important to me is the restrooms, yes, bathrooms. In the main area there is no way I can get my chair close enough to transfer and the bathroom which is larger the commode is way low making getting off and on problematic if not impossible. So, far the one time I have used it I succeeded but just barely. I just want to finish out my work history and get to my next life…
