I got my PVTA van trips list today. I need to call the woman, though, because it doesn't specify what fare I paid. I need that for my accountant. Kelly fixed my printer and brought the laptop over for me to see. I'm buying it and a new monitor for my desktop, too. I'm just going to give him my whole Disaboom check ($540) and let him deduct it from my total bill. The things I need to buy are $424 and I owe him $460 anyway. My desktop deleted two emails I needed. I'll need to have them resent.

I made 29 cents today; I might make payout again at that rate. So far this year I've made $17.60 (that's more than one third of my membership fee for the year in two months). Tomorrow I have a poetry reading and a movie to see so I can write a review for Disaboom. It's about nursing homes and I hope it's not to depressing. I have an interview to replace Michelle in about 50 minutes. I helped her find a room in Greenfield; she's going to be fine. I'm glad she won't need to go to a Shelter. Bye!

I had a great time at poetry, much better than the Superbowl. I posted on Mylot and have my Disaboom blog planneed. Tomorrow, I'm going to the library and the movie (which I missed today, becaise of van servicr errors). I'll take bus, so I don't need to pay van service fees. I'll leave Sal here, making a sign for me to take to Primary Day. I also need to print out fresher versions and mail my stuff to Chicago. I have a PCA interview tomorrow. I have some new poetry I want to jot down before I forget it.

need to send Sal to Stop and Shop to get me the right poster board. My interviewee was nice. Tomorrow, it's primary day and I'm doing Green Party stuff all day. I'm even running for Green Party Town Committee. Sal is making me a sign. I need to sleep early, because I'll get up around 5:45 or 6:00 AM. I printed it out on three pages.

I can't believe I'm doing this, especially since I want to move soon, but someone needs to do it. I also called food stamps and filled out my Hampshire honorarium paperwork. Later all!

I am up very early. It's 6:20 in the morning, my time, and I'm already ready. I'm going to the BNI meeting. I couldn't sleep since 4AM. I hope the service comes soon. I have a very busy day today, full of phone calls mostly. I'm going to see the laptop as Kelly's bringing it to the meeting. Lee will to the Survival Center for me and pick up a box of food so my cupboard will be less bare, she's also doing laundry and editing my stuff for Chicago while I'm at the movies with Laura. Good morning all!

I'm going to look at a new laptop tomorrow. I'm getting up early to attend a BNI meeting. They're picking me up a little after 6AM. I called all my bill collecters today; I ended up only paying one. Lee is coming to do laundry and pick up van tickets. Tommorrow, I'll go Amherst to see a movie with Laura. We're seeing Juno and I'll pay for ticket in order to reduce my debt to her a little bit, she says it's like having a tab. Whenever I have money, I do that. It'll be $5.50 of my bill! Later!

I made payout! I got my SSI money, too. I booked a paratransit to the mall tomorrow. Shopping list is a bra, a vacuum, and a new phone. I paid off part of the cable bill; I still owe $200. I'm going to the supermarket to buy stamps, maybe some ravioli and sauce and get some money out to give to Robin for van tickets; I'm thinking of $50. I watch Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, which I DVRed. There was this little girl who had Cystic Fibrosis, and her "Make A Wish" was to help on a build, supporting others.

It's supposed to snow big tomorrow and I was sick today. My period sucks; I thought I was going to puke. My mom deposited $100 for me so I wouldn't have to go out in the weather to seek money from Laura. I'll pay her back, as soon as I get the money from Laura, but I'm only going to her $84 as that's what I asked for, not the rest that she give me. Fair is fair. Maybe I'll use that money to buy some van tickets- 50 cent ones. I will buy three books. Good night to all!

I didn't do much today, accept sleep. I can keep my accountant appointment; since it's only raining here. Sal's adding up the van service fares. According to a documentary called Swoosh! Inside NIKe n 1998, a man named James Kidde (spelling) tried to live like a Nike factory worker for a month, their buying power was $1.25/day. He lost 25 pounds in a month. I survive on about $24 bucks a day on supplemental security income only. I pay $187 in rent, plus van service fees of (at minimum) $4 dollars roundtrip, plus $35/month in food stamps. Good afternoon all!

I'm at $3.17 here so far in March. I've made back over a third of my fee in two months. I think I might make a profit on Blogit this year, which is my goal. I'm also making good money on Mylot .41 so far that's good for that site. Tommorrow, I go to training in Chicopee and write some more. I need to find someone to work tomorrow night for me. Maybe I'll ask Michelle; she pretty willing to work fo me in an emergency or Jen (who seems willing to help me out sometimes).

I had a good day today. Meeting a girl who seems nice and can work Friday and Saturday overnight, but every time I like someone who works for me lately, they flake out! I'm just told her I'm bi and she seemed okay with that. I always figure with me it's better out of the closet People tend to find our anyway. I'm currently watching Most Evil and hav just eaten popcorn as a bedtime snack; so sleepy today- almost fell asleep in my Emergency Preparedness training. It's nearly midnight; I'm thinking after the show I'll just go to bed.

I need to go shopping tomorrow. My lmp is broken and I need a vacuum. I'll also stop my trader Joe's to get more blueberry juice. I think I need two more bottles to make it through the month. I mailed the money order to Mike ($250). I'll give anothey money tomorow and get a lap and a new monitor. It was too cold here to work on the park grant. I'm never going to get that done. I need to go to Social Security Monday and turn in my tax forms. I think they took too money away.

I am watching Eli Stone, which I DVRed. I paid $55 more debt to both Alito and ADAPT Utah. That $360.63 in debt I've paid back in February. That's a cery good debt repayment month for me. I've been buying off hundreds of dollars of debt since I've become employed. Anthony dropped off the laptop and a new monitor. I gave him $157 so he can buy his new laptop and finish his artwork in time for the Expo. I've lent him and Lee over $220. But it's not like I mind. Helping disabled people is my purpose in life.

I'm losing one job, because my job is losing their grant. Tomorrow, I have to go to the Social Security Office, the Holyoke Mall, and a program at the library. On Wednesday, I'm going to movies. On Thursaday, I'm going to the doctor's and dinner at On the Border restaurant. Kelly's coming today to fix my monitor and look at the laptop. I'm going to pay him $30 bucks; $20 for the cimputer repair and $10 of my remaining computer bill. I want to buy a coloring book; I have a desire to color, maybe it will amuse my muse.

Went to a cool, business networking meeting- thinking of joining this organization. Treated me much better than BNI did and they have cheaper fees, only $100. Canceled tomorrow's plans due to foul weather. Have housing work to do tomorrow. Posted on all sites. Need to find childcare for Green Party meeting. Why am I the only one working on this? As soon as I finish the entry, I'm going to bed and planning to get up early around 10 (as I have many phone calls to make). I wish my friends all good nights and cheery tomorrows! See ya later!

My doctor is sick, so no appointment tommorrow. I'm finally going to do some work on the grant. I brought a pre-packed lunch (sandwich, chips, natural soda, and chocolate bar). I'll need to call Leah, so she packs a lunch, too. I called the JWJ conference to ask about tabling. I'm only 58 cents away from payout. I've made $17.60 in 2008 so far here- $32.35 to go to pay off my yearly membership fee. My house is too warm and making me sleepy, as a result. I've written for Mylot already and plan to post to Yuwie, as well.

Right now, I'm watching Law & Order as there's supposed to be a disabled person in it. I saw an animal show with disabled animals. I talked to Stacey (a colleague of mine who's doing a presentation with me on sexuality). I earned .10 on Mylot yesterday. I called my boss from Disaboom; he didn't answer me, as of yet. Tomorrow, I'm going to the Holyoke Heritage State Park to do some work on my park grant. I can walk the 4 blocks from the Social Security office to the park, without taking the bus or the paratransit service. Later much!

Just five cents for payout! I'm happy, even though the snow spoiled my plans. I didn't get to social security again. Really need to priotitize going there Monday and I can journey over to the Holyoke Park (only four blocks away). Sarah went to get the key for the for the Green Pary meeting and she's getting me a chocolate doughnut to boot. The snow is falling hard and I'm sore. Richard seems much better, bck to his usual "bad" self- happy owner smile. It's little chilly in my house; I'm having Sarah turn the heat up a little bit.

Writing this entry again; Richard erased the orginal one, before it was posted, somehow. Made payout and the Green-Rainbow convention is over! Night time PCA is in hospital with kidney issues. I called both Laura and Rene. Rene can do, but says she perfers if Laura does. I've left a message for Laura (she didn't answer; I think maybe her phone is off, I try calling back in half an hour); I'm calling Rene back at 8PM to let her know what's up. I'm really tired, as I was up half the night puking; then up early for the Convention!

I just got done with my job meeting and for some reason the blog I tried to post earlier didn't show up. I hope to be in bed within the next fifteen minutes if not sooner. I watched the Oscars, the red carpet part, and a little bit of the introduction. I like Jon Stewart. He's funny and pretty cute. My PCA says he's single. I don't know or care. He's a little too male for me even on my most male appreciating days. Tomorrow I am finally going to go work on the park project unless it's bad weather.

Watched Law & Order. Emailed my Board. Ate some fish and veggies with rice. Find someone to work my table at Pride; so I can go to the JWJ conference- depending on the vendor cost (and earn more money), though I'm sorry to miss Pride. Got a card from Michelle, saying thank you for letting her stay over in my house. I posted on Mylot and will post on Yuwie soon. Combined a trip to the Social Security Office with a trip to the Holyoke Heritage State Park to save money. No money deposited as of yet. Need toilet paper. Goodbye!

I am watching Monk; it's still snowing. I got my money! I sent Sal shopping. I think I'll have chilli tomorrow. I've been wanting it for awhile. Richard, my cat, was playing in the area between the screen and the sliding door earlier. It was so cute; as close as he gets to being outdoors. Sal is making Enchillad's for me. They smell nice! Maybe I'll get to hang out with Donnie (nice guy PCA) before he moves back to Oregon. I need to find Corrine and see if she sent money to Mike. Have a good day, my friends!

My friend Mark Dyer died today. I'll miss him so much. I'm afraid now afraid, because bad things happen in my life, in threes. I am going to go to the park tomorrow; to work more on the grant project right now I need a nap, as I have a phone meeting later. I did work for the Green Party and van rentals also. I wrote on Mylot. *** After nap I'm much happier. Tomorrow is laundry day. Mom sent me another $20. I'll pay off some of my cable bill. Meeting in 15 minutes. Need to get more stamps!

Despite my slow moving day; I was having emotional issues around Mark's death and stopping working for me (as a permenent person, so she can take care of Gabe; although I was careful to tell her not to allow him to become totally dependent on him, anymore than most five year olds are dependent on their moms). I finished half of my "to do" list, although the make items (namely working on the poetry grant) remain. I really need to by a coloring book for stress relief; I know it's childish, but it helps me. Good night to my friends!

I'm home for the day! Just waiting for the snow to descend- again! I really wish it would stop snowing; I have work to do!! My money is almost done; I have about $55 or so remaining. I'm having only French fries and juice for lunch; I'm not really that hungry. I already posted on Mylot, where I made my monthly goal of a $1.50, and also Disaboom, where I submitted my monthly invoice already. I need to ask my mom for money- $300. I'm going to do Yuwie, as well to get close to my goal of 100 views.
