#NoMoR

     Dear Readers,
So some other things occurred to me today...

      I really do enjoy Sunday School teaching! I have a great group of youths in my class, and overall, no problems...Everyone keeps asking me if I do, so just thought I'd clear the air on that topic.

     World CP day was yesterday October 6th, 2018, I didn't wear green, I plum forgot to write a blog post, so I scrambled after I got home from work and just made a status saying that I have CP on FB.

     Then I got to thinking about everything I say after Pastor's sermon on "Taming the Tongue" How often do I respond to hatred with hatred, anger with more anger, knowing full well that two wrongs simply do not make a right, not even when someone uses the dreaded "R"-word against me, should I retort, or gossip about them now, about a word that they were having with a mutual friend while I was on a staircase at the mutual friends house, my Freshman year of College. Did I tell one person about this young woman doing this, no, after she stopped in the bakery this past week, as if she didn't even know my name, let alone what she had called me, I was enraged by this and told everyone at the bakery, as well as all of you now...

     Is there any sort of #MeToo movement for the "R" word, are people that say "Retard/ed", are their lives ruined, reputations tarnished, branded as evil,fired from jobs...The answer is no. These people are laughed with, make up part of a mob mentality that lingers on, that is hateful towards the disabled, that's the mentality that leads to people being beaten simply because THEY ARE Disabled.

AND NO, I am not saying that being sexually assaulted and being disabled are one in the same, just saying there is not enough being done for other oppressed groups, and while yes while I do stand in support of those women and men that have been hurt, we are leaving out a group of individuals that in certain circumstances cannot advocate for themselves...

Observations October 5th, 2018

     Hello readers,
So it's been at least a month if not longer since I typed you...We are now in October, 2018, the month where "slutty whores" can dress up as, well, their "true colors" shall we say, and where I am racking my brain trying to figure out how to get " The Sloth" onesie into my Board of Youth "Owl" you need is Jesus Trunk or Treat theme...Speaking of which, if you have any ideas on how to tie the two together, lemme know!

     It also occurred to me that while I love the bakery, I need to step out on my own once again, doing cold calls and trying to find someone who just might hire a non-bilingual paralegal... With about a year of experience...

     I also cannot be a binge watcher because, well, I've got too much crap going on to do so, however, I'm finding the good in TV and social media and using it to distract myself from my real issues...Which then allows me to work on said issues say, Daddy issues for example, in therapy, with a unbiased professional...

     Basically I'm still the same ol' Linds, you've all come to know, that's finally starting to get to the root of the problem, and am starting to come to terms with the stuff that I cannot control...
