I could have called today the battle of the bureaucracies. First off, I started having weird dreams about Book Expo America which is coming up next week. Then, they called me and said there was some sort of problem with my paperwork. I spent about three hours getting that straightened out which it all supposedly is now. Then, I spent about another hour in various email communication with the Book Expo America associate people. Then I wrote for a bit and talked on Facebook. Then, I wrote an email and made another phone call regarding money I was owed. Now, I'm just blogging and trying to watch a dinosaur show at once as I ponder why the gaming website I work on to raise money for ADAPT isn't crediting me. I'm trying to decide if I have enough energy to pursue that with them. You see my allergies are making me tired.

Hi Everybody,

I had a long day. Interviews that went well; I'm totally hiring two people. One's a fellow poet and one is a dog breeder. This is the easiest hiring I've ever had. I hope they both turn out to nice and normal. I'm getting a new food stamps card tomorrow. I'll need to keep track of this one; I'll be by 3rd.

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!

Dear NuTang,

Today, like too many days previous in a row, has sucked. I was supposed to go out and do some copy work as well as some bill paying but it was too icy to go out today and I didn't want to get into an accident in the van service or get sick from standing in the weather. Of course now, after I cancel all my plans, it's nice out. Isn't that just typical?

I feel especially bad today because it's World AIDS Day and this is the first time in 15 years I haven't done something to honor it. Although, I suppose even if it is a stretch, posting about it counts. I sent the art book to the copy man and I'm waiting for the copies to come back. I hope you all are having a better day than I am.

All I keep thinking about is that 25 million people died and I can't do anything to change that. Even if I could go back in time and eliminate the AIDS crisis, I would worry about disrupting the space time continuum and creating some sort of cataclysmic affect that no one can foresee. You know how that always happens in Science Fiction movies. Anyone seen The Butterfly Affect? Well that's all for now. Maybe I'll check in later.

I was supposed to be home in Pennsylvania now, but the snow and my parents broken van fixed that. I'm now going home on the train tomorrow with Ivy and if the van service doesn't run mom and Ted stepfather will come get me on Tuesday. For now, it's just wait and see. At least it's stopped snowing, even if it is bitch cold as the Mexicans say. I need to let go off being invested in what will happen. All I want to do is be home for Christmas!

I'm home in Massachusetts. I need a holiday from my holiday. Being at my parents' is always so stressful. I feel like an out of control little kid, which in normal life (here in Massachusetts) I'm totally not
