Is Anybody Listening?

Ever get the feeling nobody really listens to you? Ever want to just shake someone and yell, “Pay attention!”

I live in a board and care home, I have lived there since my breakdown last year. I don’t really fit the demographic, and yes, I know I was very lucky to be placed here because there really aren’t places for people like me, with mobility issues but not a senior. There’s a bit of a language barrier with the caregivers, but come on. I’m not 85, I still have my faculties, and the last time I checked I was pretty intelligent. Don’t pat me on the head and humor me, or crack jokes and think that will distract me.

A little respect, that would be nice.

My New Blog

The ramblings of me.  Where to start?  The major depression?  The rheumatoid arthritis I’ve had for 35 years?  It’s a struggle not to let these things define me.  So what else?  I consider myself intelligent; I’m a Christian, love animals, especially the feline type, love to read, etc., etc. 

And today is Thanksgiving.  I’m thankful I’m alive, especially after last year’s breakdown, I’m thankful for my friends, and for the meds that help me with all of the above.

And today I’m starting a blog.
