From the Lab Rat's Desk, November 1, 2007

, , , ...

Still have the same bloody headache so the last few weeks have not been terribly productive. Nonetheless there has been movement. In another week I can pick up my passport after which I can get the local Identification (which required a passport or local birth certificate, hence the passport first. Yesterday I finally got my replacement bus pass, so that means I can get about, and it won';t cost me every time. Unfortunately my knee isn't getting better as I would like and it caused me grief, in time it might get better. The police are closing my file, or rather it is now inactive as nothing new has happened or come up (nothing found, and the only likely suspect cannot be called in on what they have currently), sigh. I still find myself not quite as resolute of step and am still looking over my shoulder far too much. I still have a lot of paperwork to do, much of it futile. The victim's assistance will only help with medical and counselling costs but not with replacing stolen goods, maybe with added transportations costs (stolen bus pass), but for that alone it is a lot of paperwork. That 20 dollar cheque that social services had agreed to add in for those emergency funds, never materialised, something they said to get me out of the building. I expected it, they take joy in the misery of others (shadenfreude). I'll be back to my jolly self if I can get a break from this headache. Certainly I know who values me, friends and family, and devalues me, the government and agencies designed to help out those in need (throwing the helpless on the compost heap). I've passed through the worst of my nightmare, but if I have an ounce of spare energy here and there it will be spent screaming at the people in charge over their utter failure to help the needy, and that includes the media, who failed to do any kind of follow up when the people a block away from me suddenly found themselves homeless, quite a few now wander all day long with their few possessions, shelter to shelter. It sickens me to see the sanctimonious lot fawning over the 2010 Olympics and the surplus of tax monies in this province.

A Little Time with Memories and an Old Friend

, , , ...

Occasionally it comes out of the drawer, this really spent old ballet slipper. My last pointe shoe, I only kept one, so I would not even try again, once over, a thing should be done with. Stoically as I try to approach the past, this memory, kept well and alive in the drawer, takes me in hand and opens a flood off feelings, loss, joy, the sense of flight only dancers and birds know.

It is getting chilly at night and the days are less and less sunny, and I dread the cold winter ahead. There is more I dread and it bother me to even say of write of it, denial offers comfort, especially when there is just and overwhelming amount of the negative in day to day life.

Where I live is no palace, definitely not. I am at the bottom of my life without much chance of improving my lot. Whereas some years ago I had a full time job and my own business, and was teaching master classes a couple of times a week, now I am a breath away from homeless. My crime was that I had the unmitigated gall to lose sufficient numbers of brain cells to an orphan disease, for which there is neither cure or treatment, nor any big and powerful organization to fight for research and quality of life. I didn't get this as a result of neglecting my health, taking part in risky behaviours, nor abusing substances. It was just my rotten luck.
