To start, we’d have a rotation as to who the President is or who will be in charge of meetings. Everybody will get a chance to run things, after all, this is a rather unconventional organization where many will wear many hats. We would need people to staff the hotline M-F and Sat/Sun. I mean I might have to wear many hats, such as HR. I do not want to have one leader for the entire organization although that will be me at times, I want to share the role with others. Everybody will take turns being in charge. I guess I can be called executive director though. We could have a program manager and a program associate. (https://niu.edu/nonprofit/careers/index.shtml)
We need a program coordinator to handle intake for anybody who wants to get into the shelter. An administrative assistant would cover the admin side of everything. We most definitely need to have a computer lab so that everybody can gain access to online/work from home jobs even if that requires a headset. I envision setting up this shelter by design, inside a warehouse that could easily double as a bunker, since where do disabled people go in the event of an attack? We are easily screwed over.
We also need an accountant, a human resource manager for hiring, and an information technology manager who can deal with the computers. I could double as a grant writer, but we need one more experienced. I want to be able to pay my people, even if they stay at the shelter as well as working the non-profit jobs made available by the shelter. Communications people mean that we need a publicist as well one of those social media types who will update our Facebook page. We may even need a staff psychologist for the phones, so somebody with a background in psychology needs to staff the phones.
Sometimes, people do not realize that abuse victims are injured in their families because of their family dynamic. Disabled adults need resources as to how to get away from abusive families. I want to start a shelter and a hotline. We would help people get on or off SSI. SSI provides us with a way to take charge of our health care decisions. I was completely unable to see a psychiatrist from parental bullshit, until I got SSI. I put it off way too long actually, because I was still capitulating to manipulation. But then, I thought, I need treatment for my mental health, the thing is, I was still going, aww, I have way too much sympathy for mom’s needing me to avoid treatment, I think I’ll let that one slide.
Now that I’m treated, I can see how messed up my own family is. This is why I want to create resources to combat additional barriers disabled people find on their way to get more independent from their families, both physically and financially. It is appalling that disabled adults cannot support themselves on low-income alone. They seem to be stalled or tripped up by their own family, some families of whom will not give them extra money besides their SSI.
The benefits of being low-income outweigh the risks of making money right now as my coin divination and tarot readings didn’t say get off SSI, they said stay put. Yes, I can predict my tarot card picks now. I mean I can choose a card, and I almost know what it is before I look at it. I have to choose directors for my organization though. I have a funny idea for raising money. The idea is quite simple: I do my marital arts thing on men bigger than me. We can rent a gym for this and get a list of people who volunteer to get pushed by somebody smaller than they are. People place their bets on who will win, and then I try to push the person who will be innocent that somebody as tiny as myself can push him around. Yes, this needs to be done. I may need to find wrestlers or something so I can use them as an example. We can put together a YouTube video about this so that people can see it; with said video possibly going viral which I don’t necessarily mind but yes, I’m shy enough to say, why the hell do I need to be that public?
Losing weight can be very easy, just reduce your calorie intake for one. For another, exercise more. Make your diet mostly veggies. Try to drink Shakeology but reduce your fat intake as well. Losing weight is easy. Reducing your caloric intake needs to be managed with myFitnessPal, a free app for the iPhone. This app really works because it gives you warnings about how you are overdoing it if you eat one particular item. MyfitnessPal is a useful tool to see how much you are taking in. If you eat less, and exercise more, weight loss does occur. Avoiding fatty foods like potato chips is also something that can help you feel better. Don’t starve yourself to lose weight though, since adding more vegetables to your diet can help with that.
Make your diet mostly vegetables, protein, and carbs. But the good kind of carbs. Don’t overlook healthy carbs. Potatoes are a healthy carbohydrate, even for people with type 1-diabetes. There is such thing as acceptable carbohydrates. These are, pasta, rice, sweet potato and other starches. Potatoes help build up your serotonin levels. Serotonin helps anxiety issues because low serotonin is often what causes the symptoms of anxiety, which are to feel spaced, to feel shaky, and to not be grounded in your body while feeling paranoid. To eat a potato product of some kind, can actually reduce anxiety.
It curbs my appetite for one, and also helps me release sugar cravings, which I’m working on. I have trouble with sugar addiction. Sugar addiction is real. Sugar addiction means that a person who overdoes sugar will also have an alcohol problem, as alcohol is a form of sugar, but fermented. Beach Body has helped me lose 4 pounds at least, given that is a rough estimate. Beach Body is amazing because I have a small dose, at 0.3, instead of having the entire package. I’m small, at 4’10, you see, so this means that I have to cut down on something with a mild dose of caffeine in it.
I also have Shakeology in the morning. It does work. It works great. In fact, I feel better having it around. I have less stress now as I have a means to lose weight without necessarily walking a lot. The thing is, I have to cut back on calories. As in, no sugary anything since I quit the Chewy Chocolate granola bars in the last two weeks or so without having them around. Anyway, the Beach Body boxes to put food so you can measure your portions inside, really do work. The thing is, one fact you learn as a diabetic is measure your food, eat exactly one cup of whatever. That is your legal limit of food intake. Meat must be the size of your fist as you measure portions of chicken, steak, pork, and fish. This is also a part of healthy eating.

I want to start a Toastmasters International Club at Work 2 Future. There is a demand for this sort of club if only because we don’t have one this far out in San Jose. Kirk Community Center is a great location. We have rooms that we can rent. IF the school is willing to set up a Toastmasters, if only ’m in need of a counselor behind me, as well as a manager who wants to make this. I know some of my friends in Mountain View expressed interest in a Toastmaster Club they can access.
I’m busy trying to hustle interest in Toastmaster’s Club because I want to make sure that people are investing their time into this when there is one. I’m waiting for the right people to make waves. I have to do some talking to the right people though in terms of figuring out how to set up a club. I remember Kris, a member of the Mountain View Toastmasters, wanted a group in San Jose. So I have to find her and see if we can both set up a group at Kirk Community Center. Even Bill wanted to have something closer to him. Let’s pull it together already and do something about this.
My favorite vegetable, the potato, came from southern Peru, and extreme northwestern Bolivia, having been introduced to Europe by the Spanish in the 2nd have of the 16th century by the Spanish. Potatoes are indigenous to South America, as wild potatoes can be found throughout the Andes. Potatoes were starting to be cultivated 7,000-10,000 years ago, culminating in making over a thousand different species of potato. In 2014, China and India were leading the world with cultivating the potato. There are 5,000-potato varieties worldwide. The Spanish conquest of the Inca allowed them to bring the potato to Europe from 1700-1900. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potato
The potato started off being viewed with suspicion by farmers but later, it became evident it would be an important staple from the year 1900 on. The potato remains a necessary food crop throughout the world in modern times. Potatoes are a starch, which can boost your serotonin levels. Potatoes can be helpful to ease anxiety although French fries can be particularly addicting along with causing weight gain. http://www.serotoninpowerdiet.com/blog/?p=89. Not just potatoes raise serotonin, carbohydrates in general do. Oats is another way to raise your serotonin levels by eating Cheerios. Either way, there are ways to boost the effects of medication through diet.

Relational bullies spread rumors, backstab, and reveal secrets that were meant to be secret, all while maintaining the appearance of friendship. Some relational bullies will forget to take their meds for three days, even as they lie to their mother about this intentionally, and being manic is no excuse. Lowering your medication dose without your doctor’s permission, that’s a way to make me worry. Relational bullies harm others by making sure their social standing is adversely affected by what they say. Even if this bullying occurred in the past, I do not like the way some treat their friends in the present.
Some bullying can be planned ahead of time in proactive mode, and some are reactive as a response to perceived threats, hostility or anger. Sometimes I assume people like this have a hostile intent even as in my own community we had somebody telling someone’s secrets all over the place to anybody who would listen. This was an act of direct hostility due to the person’s lack of participation in a ritual. She was angry about something. Beats me what but seriously, grow up already. I felt I was set up for this in another situation where somebody had tried to deliberately have me tell somebody had a mental health diagnosis. I felt set up after I revealed it and realized the whole look at my resume thing, had been a set up. Another bully just habitually reveals information to people but the perpetual victim does nothing to stop it. She just lets herself be mistreated. This is the main reason why I exited that friendship in the first place, not taking my advice, not standing up for herself, and in general, not being straight with people. I prefer people who have personalities and are straight with people.

Insulin pumpers need to remember that infusing is risky business. Two high blood sugars in a row means that you have to change your infusion set or risk a hospitalization. If you don’t change your infusion set, you have to watch yourself because short-acting insulin means that you will wind up with a huge high blood sugar that won’t come down. Short-acting insulin starts working faster than our fabulous mainstay, Regular. NPH used to exist before Lantus. Lantus is long-acting insulin, while humalog starts working in 10 minutes. When your tubing works, your blood sugar comes down.
Humalog acts quickly though, and in the beginnings of treatment, this can cause low blood sugars. Lows are bad for you because you lose the ability to think coherently. Nobody should drive with a low, or for that matter, a high blood sugar. Sometimes this can mess up your cognition, or your ability to think. High blood sugar can cause most people depression or feeling uneasy and paranoid, like it does to me. Infusion is a risky thing to undertake but the kind of control you can get with it? Fabulous. I mean beyond your wildest dreams, so give it a shot.
Well, if blogging can make me money, I want to see if I can nail $20,000 off of one blog. That leaves me enough money to pay my own insurance along with paying the HOA fee. This last one scares certain people, because it means that eventually I’ll wind up with enough money to buy them out. This condo was worth less when we bought it, but now it is something like $525,000. So in which case, I want enough money to work for a company that sells insurance with the entry fee being $200. This is something that haunts my every waking moment. I also want to work as a security guard part-time, which means I need to pay for the guard card class.
You see, many people claim that blogging made them more than $1,000. Blogging can supposedly make these sorts money. I won’t believe it until I’ve succeeded. For me, as a skeptic in all things, seeing is believing. I do not just accept things as they are told to me. I have to run it through a critical thinking filter. I’m just an intense person who cannot stand just accepting something. Big reason why I quit being Catholic when I was able to do so. My Christian family has, hopefully given up on me returning. Over my dead body. If blogging can help me make money, then I guess I’m going to give it a shot. I was brainstorming at least to the 18th, ideas for what else to write about. If painting can manifest more income, then I will do that too. I need to spend money on art supplies though. All I have for now, are colored pencils. Making money blogging sounds easy enough, however.
I would like to manifest a work environment where I’m included. I grew up expecting abuse, and being quite unable to remove myself from toxic situations. My elementary school was pretty toxic because we picked on each other. My classmates had enormous difficulty being kind to each other, because of the need for henpecking. Work environments need to be safe for me. I have to remain free of misogyny. Sexist males need not be in my orbit. I have the option of leaving toxic work environments, but even with a family, those of us stuck in that sort of environment, need to leave.
Toxic work environments cause extreme stress. Do you really want to put yourself through that? I would like to manifest a job, perhaps in publishing, or reporting, or writing/editing for a publishing company. They exist in California as it is not all holed up in New York City. The thing is, I have to find a job I’m a good fit for. There may even be work from home jobs out there. I’m frustrated though, with my work situation in general. So frustrated. Nothing is out there waiting to hire me as their employee.
This just makes me writhe because I’m trying here. I’m trying really hard. I refuse to fall into a sub-minimum wage trap because I’m disabled. No, there has to be another way to find a job worthy of me. I worry that some work from home website listings are scams. Indeed is the only legit website out there with real work from home jobs along with ProBlogger. Craigslist gives me a bad feeling these days since I never know what is a real job or not. Yes, though, I’m trying to make extra money. I’m not even used to $500 a month extra, besides what I already get.
