Today I feel free

I feel free today. I had tears welling up in my eyes after I left my doctor's office today. I called her office today and she made the appointment today. She is my endocrinologist. She handles the diabetes and the thyroid condition. She prescribed a new medication. An ACE inhibitor for high blood pressure. But I am on track . It is good to feel this way.

I contacted a client today and he needs some help with his website. I will meet him tomorrow in the afternoon and get him locked in on how to upload some of his content. Then he will use someone else to maintain that site for him. The website only cost him 300 dollars and he can upload content himself. Most political webmasters get way more than that.. but I am doing things the way I want to and I want my clients to be satisfied and use their money for other things than overpaying for a website. SOON I will be doing what I need to be doing.

I washed dishes today at lunch. It also feels good to know that I can pull my weight and within my limitations. It is only two hours a day, 5 days a week , but eventually I will work my way up to doing more. The laws of the universe are constant and can not be thwarted. So I know there is a reason god has put in my heart to wash dishes. It is important. I think for me to remember what it is like to be a part of a team effort. It also reminds me that I am aware of humility.

The medications are balancing out. The Zoloft seems to really be kicking in , but I also believe that we have to work physical labor to release those endorphins that keep us happy. It is a balance. Having hormone imbalances which are a direct result of diabetes and the hypothyroidism, mood can get out of wack. But I don't see this as weakness, although those thoughts cross my mind. I am just grateful to know I have friends.

I was working in the kitchen at the Midnight Mission in January and we never ran out of trays. Today was my first day back and it seems like we can't keep up with the amount of people coming through the lines. The people monitoring the cafeteria floor were coming into the kitchen looking for trays and we didn't have any to put in the dishwasher. Several times that happened today. It seems as if there are more people coming to lunch and it has been just a short interval of about two weeks until they squared away my volunteer schedule.

I see lot's of people from the single room occupancy housing providers coming to eat breakfast and lunch and dinner and there are more people I have never seen before. It is as if these non-profits are having to do more with less.

We can do it. Supporters and volunteers; we can do it. There are some exciting things happening at the Midnight Mission which I can not reveal at this time , but all i have to say is that what Larry Adamson is saying at the Midnight Mission website about the volunteers and supporters going above and beyond the call of duty is true. I am seeing it.

I am saddened by the news that some services and programs have been cut and the amount of people that can go throught thier program has also been reduced. The Midnight Mission's program's have saved the lives of many of those I had seen succumbing to their addictions. They have also saved my life. I am so grateful. I am free and my ability to feel productive by being productive has improved.

Anyway, I am free. I am free to live .

For my dear friend Richard Feagin - Sifu Richard Feagin

For some odd reason when I heard news that my childhood friend was killed in a car accident I thought of another friend we used to get together with and sing this song and others. We were all a bunch of christian rednecks. Didn't drink , smoke, use drugs and searching for wives and not whoring around. Richard Feagin introduced me to the world of anime. HE went on to beome a master karate instructor. Who would have thought. He was a close friend that helped me work out lot's of questions I had in puberty. Girls and all that. Kept us out of trouble to be two guys who were waiting for the right girl to marry. HE leaves two young children and a beautiful wife. None of the renditions of this song on the internet even come close to the ozark type of twang we used. I can still sing like that. Raised on that Southern Baptist Gospel Music. I will give alist of my favorites. We used the banjo a lot. This is not my home On the wings of a dove- this is the version I remember growing u...

Gordon Turner does make it to skid row on this election day. He was at San Julian Park passing out flyers and speaking to voters. Some voters got excited and asked for handfuls of flyers to begin to pass out to voters on the Nickel.  Someone had passed out flyers last night , apparently, because there were already flyers all over skid row when he arrived.

To those who think that Marijuana has never killed anyone

Update: once again marijuana used by sexual deviants to assault young teenagers who skipped school. When officers arrived, the men were gone, he said. "It looks like this house was not lived in," Taylor said. The girls told police they met the men at the Paseo Colorado mall on Colorado Boulevard, where they were playing hooky from school, he said. The men then invited the girls to the Idaho Street house, he added. Once there, the men brought out alcohol and marijuana and gave it to the 14-year-olds before sexually assaulting them, he said. Marijuana is addictive and it is also plain fun for many young people . John Wayne Gacy used MArijuana to lure young men into his home Jeffrey Dahmer used marijuana to lure young men he killed into his home Jaime Green, who lives at the Southern Hotel operated by SRO HOusing Corporation, uses his medical marijauna to lure young males to his room to molest them...and he is a registered sex offender that has to register e...
