I'm finally awake. I got a burst of energy when I found out my friend died. Ricki Landers was a fabulous fierce woman who I will always miss and I was just feeling happy that no one I knew had died in a few months. Now the adrenaline has worn off and I'm feeling sleepy again.

I'm sick again. I'm definitely going to the doctor tomorrow, because something's up. I've never been this tired in my life. Ugh! I have so much work to do. This can't be happening to me right now.

I didn't do anything today, accept sleep. I was going to go to the "No on Prop 8" rally near my town. But my body said no. I went back to bed to avoid fainting. I slept from 11 until 3:45. When I got up it was only because my PCA was leaving and I don't like not to be in wheelchair when no one is here. There's no way emergency services could rescue me in time if something happened to me if I were in my bed.

I'm still tired. Maybe I'm coming down with something. I hope not!

I have decided to apply for the Amy Lowell poetry traveling fellowship but not until 2012 your suppose to leave North America for a year which I thought would be a problem for me because of my PCA services but according to their website you can come back to North America for a short period of time should you need to.

I figure i would just try to schedule my revaluation around the same time as my skills trainer visit maybe i could even combine the two experiences (if I get someone from Stavros to be on side and not rat me out to MassHealth- Massachusetts Medicaid) or maybe i can get an extension or perhaps I will just use the fellowship money to pay someone to be my PCA).

I don't know what I am going to do but I do know I want this fellowship. My biggest problem is convincing my mother that the world wont end if I miss one Christmas (2012) we can have it when I get back!

My PCA had a paycheck issue. I weirdly forgot to sign her time sheet, although I signed every other one. So she'll get her money next week. I sent Celina off to return the book and get a print out of this new poetry contest. I wrote my daily 100 words blog and did my write-a-thon assignment.

I'm so sleepy today. I can't wake up. Tomorrow, I'm going to anti-proposition 8 protest. I'm also going to cash a check. $65, go me!

I watched the news. We didn't make it. I'm disappointed. I've decided to join facebook. I went to poetry group. There's a new poetry contest about joy. Cool, because I don't write many hearts, flowers, and love poems. It's judged by my favorite poet ever. I have a check that for $65 that I'll cash Saturday, when I go to a "No on Prop 8" rally also in Northampton.
