taratemimaAs soon as I recover from this rotten cold, I am going to visit an acquaintance who had a brain stem stroke a year ago. He is staying at the same hospital I volunteer at, though on a different floor. I keep thinking, "I ought to visit, but does he even remember me?" And yet, it is something that tugs at me, that I must do. Whenever I go into any house of worship, I put in a prayer request for him. When I remember to pray, I ask for the continuing recovery of Michael bar [His Mom's Name]. On some level, it really bothers me to be misunderstood, and the thought I could lose my faculty for speech, gesture, writing, that is really scary. I cannot see myself seeking Doctor Kevorkian or his ilk after losing my mobility, but if I suffer from something that affects my thinking or dexerity, I might. I might also want to find some way around it, if I can afford it.
If I can afford it. Sometimes I read sites like Not Dead Yet and wonder why disability is so scary. It isn't as scary when you have ways around it, but what about HMOs? What about jobs?
I have no idea what to do next. Wait for revision to loan to be sent, wait for check to be given, search for new jobs, search for Spanish II paper, read this week's stuff for Language and Gender, discuss speed reading, think about paper for Psycholinguistics, go to job fair, getting work on my two books, and writing these wonderful books: Careers in Linguistics (there is NOTHING like that as far as I can see in the Career Library at my school), and less seriously, Alternative Careers for Pimps, Hos, Pushers, Stick-Up Kids, Carjackers, and other Criminal Types (with chapters like "Dress for Success Doesn't Mean Timberland or Fubu, Asshole" and "Managing Employees is Like Managing Hos in Your Stable")
