One of my favorite people
in this world is Amy. In short Amy is a benefit specialist type of
person. She knows 1 million things to help a person be more
independent. She works primarily with people who are developmentally
disabled and I used to have the office next to hers when I was
employed by the state of Utah. We shared a lot since I was an
information specialist as she was to to a certain degree. Anyway you
will remember that she brought me a couple of bags of vegetables
earlier this week.
Amy is a real straight
shooter she lets her know what you think specially if she feels if
what she's thinking will assist you. We talked about a lot of stuff
but she was here. It will be specially talk about stuff that might
help me like if I were to figure out a way to make some money or I
came into some money how could I manage that money so the rest of my
benefits are not affected negatively. The financial dance is very
complicated and you really got I have a good teacher to teach in the
steps and lucky for me Amy is one of the best. Of course, the best
way to increase one's income, legally is to earn more money which
means most typically getting a job. I considered this issue quite a
bit the last couple months since my but seems to gotten so much
better and I'm tolerating being left much better than I was. The
major problem I have is that if I earn more income than I must report
that to the folks here at the apartment complex and this will have an
impact on the amount of rent I pay. This is only right and make sense
but seems kind of frustrating. Any was quick to share with me a
program it to which allows me to place the money into certain
accounts which then I used to live… Like a special account for
hiring my home health professionals. I really don't want to earn a
lot of extra money. In fact if you will remember earlier posts about
trying to get “hired” at the theater down the street. Once
employed I would be able to go to as many movies as I would like as
well to get discounts on popcorn, drinks and of course theater candy!
I wouldn't care how much I earned and would be more than happy to
trade time worked for theater tickets. But that was really
interesting was that Amy went on and on about there's more to work
than just what I get paid. She was talking about the importance and
value of having a place to go, a place to be a validation for doing
something. Now I find about this myself a lot recently but it was
just good to hear it from Amy. I really think he knows what she's
talking about.
I don't know how seriously
I'm going to pursue the movie connection. I would really like to
participate in that but the local theater seems to make it such a
hard goal to obtain. I just want a few hours, perhaps enough extra
attendant care to feel a bit more secure. These are not great things
but for all the things that Amy talked about important things to me.
