What a strange day. I was kind of
excited because it just seemed every time I turned the corner I was
getting insights for possible blog entries. This is incredibly
exciting but sometimes you have to tap dance for minutes maybe even
hours before you can find a thread to write on for 500 words, at
least 500 words. Today for some reason they do seem to be everywhere
is writing this morning and later as I was traveling to my First
Chapter Book Club. My mind seem to be churning with ideas. Go figure?
Perhaps it was/is the upcoming change of seasons and really that's
only a page on a calendar. Still something is operating I don't know
what it is but I plan to exploit the phenomenon as long as I can.
This Thursday that means coffee club in
the morning and First Chapter B C (bookclub) in the afternoon. I've
been a little concerned about a possible wound on my buttocks and a
little worried about the bus trip out to the library for the
bookclub. That's a lot of travel time in my chair and on the bus a
lot of rocking which leads to shearing which is not good for the butt
a least my butt. So I did something this afternoon that I rarely do I
actually laid down and worked on one of my tablets for an hour or so
and was surprised at how good the but felt for the trip to the
library.
I usually try not to ruminate on things
is inconsequential as a ride to the library but I was doing pretty
well. I got up from my lay down and I still have about an hour to get
to the library. Which is way more than enough time. I went to the
Internet and paid my cable Internet fee online which is the second
time I've ever done such a event. This could get habit-forming. I
knew I was cutting the time. Close but I figured I still had three
quarters of an hour. I would have time to get to the library, hit the
restroom and still have time to open up the room and get chairs and
tables set up. The finally came I was still doing. I began to be
concerned but it seems like we're stopping at every bus stop and
loading people. Then bus driver pulled the vehicle over and said hold
on everybody I got go and he left the bus! He was gone for at least
10 minutes! Unbelievable you must've had a massive number two to do!!
My window of time was dwindling. Ah ha I thought here's sucker punch
I always talk about . I made it though. I got to the library with
five or six minutes to spare I beat the sucker punch.
If there was a corporate office for the
First Chapter Book Club of West Jordan Utah at the public library it
would be staffed from Utah Development Disabilities Council(UDDC).
They finally found someone to replace Debbie who mysteriously
vanished four weeks ago. I've been sort of running the show until
they found a new program coordinator who was introduced today. So
Ricca and Elva were there from corporate. This is good that takes the
pressure off me which is okay
The numbers were light today. Renée
did not show, neither did blind Jonathan or Kelly. Kelly is Jason's
staff. That means she goes with Jason almost everywhere and is always
been with Jason at bookclub. Jason was there today but no Kelly which
was odd but no one really said anything. Kelly was a bit older but
were younger than me and she tended to like to take control. I have
to let her leave the bookclub because she did such a good job.
Anyway, we began to settle in. Elva passed out the books and I then
asked Jason is Kelly coming? He looked at me as he does through his
developmentally disabled eyes and said “no”. I shrugged and said
“that's too bad you will have to catch her up” then Jason says
“that will be hard kind of hard” and then I figured myself oh oh
the girl has been viewed got himself fired. That did not surprise me
either, Kelly had a way of overstepping her authority. Then came the
sucker punch… Jason says “Kelly is never coming again, Kelly
died” holy catfish! Bookclub just turned into an afterschool
special. I pulled out all my shrink techniques to get ready to be
super Shrink not only for Jason but for the rest of the crew but
nothing happened. Jason his own way as happy as a clam. “Kelly's
happy now she's dancing and she's happy” this obviously meant Kelly
was happy Jason was happy and therefore bookclub was happy. We moved
on and started reading chapter 38. Kelly would have approved.
