Karma is annoying

The wall of karma is annoying. The cousin shot me in the head, but he has not paid any consequences for shooting me in the head. He did not go to prison or he has not given me a penny for my suffering. People say, karma will get him. Well, I am still waiting. Hopefully one day this comes true. The wall of karma has to get him and make him pay for what he did to me. One day, this will work out. Thank you for reading. Have a nice night.

To all the mothers out there. Happy mother’s day:

I hope you have a special day. Maybe a celebration or a silent home for a while without a lot of chaos, just a peaceful day. Maybe some flowers or a day of rest. Happy mother’s day. Whatever you do make sure it is fun because it is your day to shine.

Shine on through the day.

Well, onto local customs. What I have noticed in my community is a lot of birds during the day. Some make quite a bit of racket, but it is spring I guess. They just cry for love a lot. At five in the morning, I can hear the song birds singing their little song. It is kind of cool, until the loud sparrow, or pigeon makes a loud racket and everything goes silent. Yet, every spring in Southern Arizona the same birds come out and sing their mating songs and get some. They will be singing their songs and then all of a sudden, I hear nothing. That must be that they got lucky. It is animal lust I guess. Thank you for reading. Have a great night.

Voting is the American way

I vote in most elections. Sometimes, I am lazy and don’t want to go to the polling site.  Sometimes, I get an absentee ballet and just vote at home. Sometimes, I forget to vote because I would rather get some sleep. I don’t like when I get to the polling station and I don’t know who any of the candidates are, that really makes me mad. Yet, all in all I attempt to vote in every election. Thank you for reading. Have a great night.

Camping with Caverna!

These memories of camping are Cavernas. A long time ago, when she was in sixth grade. She went camping at Camp Cooper, with her class at Robinson Elementary School. We watched Jurassic Park on television. They also told us ghost stories by a bon fire. We ate burgers and hotdogs. We roasted marshmallows in the campfire and ate s’mores with chocolate and graham crackers. Then, we headed back home. Thank you for reading. Have a good night.

Flutter away

For me, life flutters away quickly then I forget what took place. So, living with a brain injury can be frustrating because of my forgetfulness. Sometimes, it is better to forget then remember all the pain at once. The time I wish I was not me was when I had wire stitches in my head and the doctor had to take them out. That hurt.

Well, the thing I wish I would have stuck to saying no is when the cousin told me. He wanted to go down to the river to shoot guns up in the air. I told him no, but he wore me down and i went anyways. This is the biggest regret of my life. I wish I would have ran away from him, or just got away from him because this changed my life completely. Being shot in the head is not fun. It messed up everything. Good thing, I have coffee, God, salads, my writings, my sister, and a place like jetpack to tell all my sorrows and all of you. Thank you for being here and reading this and have a great night.

With the way the world keeps turning:

I would not visit Iran because the United States is at war with them and I don’t want to die in the war over there. There have been talks but nothing concrete. President Trump still wants Iran to give up their nuclear bombs and capabilities, plus open the strait of hormuz for the United States. They have refused to do both. So, it is a complex situation. Right now, the United States is blockading ships from getting through the strait of hormuz. Iran is threatening to blow up the ship that is blockading the Iranian ship from getting through. President Donald Trump said, if the strait of hormuz is not open for the United States. Then it will not be open to Iran. We will just see how this plays out. Thank you for reading. Have a great night.

Don’t want Covid-19

The pandemic changed us all. It was grouling going through it because I just stayed home a lot when I was not working for doordash. I still stay home a lot, rather stay home then catch covid-19 because I already have a weak immune system. My head injury did that to me. So, when I am in public closed in spaces and someone is coughing I put on a mask. I always carry a mask with me now, if I am going to be at a store or someplace closed in. So basically, it has made me evaluate my surroundings and make sure there are no people coughing. Or else, I will put on a mask or move very quickly away from them.

I couldn’t believe it. During the covid-19 pandemic, it was winter time.  I was taking a break from working with doordash. I had to use the restroom. So, I went to QT. I went inside their bathroom and caught the flu. It was horrible. Thank goodness it was not covid-19 because I could still breathe, but the next day. I just rested. I got better and resumed working with doordash. But, that’s a wake up call, to wear a mask in the bathroom at qt in the winter because it could have been covid-19 and I would have been sick longer, or even die. So, what I learned is always have a mask on me, no matter the season. If someone is coughing put it on right away because I can easily get covid-19 and I don’t want covid-19 on top of being disabled. That would be very bad. Even the flu is bad. If I can avoid getting anything. I will do it because I hate being sick. It is no fun.

Usually with me, if I get the flu. It usually turns into bronchitis which now I have a hard time breathing. My nose is stuffed up and I have phlegm in my throat. So, it is better that I wear a mask so I can alleviate getting sick all together.

Much better to stare at a pink sky with the moon inside my apartment, than risk getting sick in public places. Thank you for reading. Have a great night.

Disability challenges

What are your biggest challenges?

Everyone has challenges, such as disability, financial, social, educational, unemployment, mentally, etc. There are a lot more than I named, but my biggest challenge is my disability.

My disability affects everything I do. The way people see me. The job I can get. How much money I make. Since, I use one arm and walk with a limp, it is very easy to get looked over for some good opportunities. I still attempt to live through all that life has to offer me. I do not plan to give up on life; even though it gets hard because I still am living. I need to make the most of this life. Even though it is hard to be disabled. I have no plans to give up on life.

My depression is sometimes hard to handle. I have problems getting out of bed. I get up by eating an apple and drinking coffee, but the yogurt puts me back to sleep. That is another challenge of mine. Eating yogurt and going back to sleep. I probably need to drink more water and less caffeine.

I am depressed because I did not get any justice for this injury (shot in the head). My family let my cousin get away with shooting me in the head. I am pissed off, the cousin walks around like he did nothing wrong. He is like a cockroach in hiding. I don’t know where he is and my family keeps us apart. They think I will go ballistic on him, which I might because I don’t like being disabled.

My other challenge is finances. I am in a lot of debt. I have a degree, but since I am disabled it is hard for me to utilize it. Some people are afraid to hire me, when they see me walk in with a limp. One of these days, I will get a job with my degree, I just got to keep trying. I cannot give up on my degree. The challenges are all too real. Thank you for reading.
