Hi everybody. Welcome to my blog where I talk about my present.
Hey, guess what! Next week it’s my birthday, and I’m officially gonna be a senior citizen. I’ll get discounts on the train and free lunches at the senior citizen center. A friend convinced me to go check out my Senior Center and the first thing I noticed when I walked in was that everyone was walking at a 45 degree angle. So, imagine a room full of Q-tips at a 45 degree angle. Then, the smell hit me. It was like a combination of steamed carrots, dead skin cells, vomit, bleach and fear. I thought I’d give it a pass. The only thing that looked good was the food truck. The food truck parks right out front of the Senior Center and serves lunch. I wonder now that I think of it, I wonder if I get a discount at the liquor store. Anyway, it’s strange being older and having a traumatic brain injury. Things ache and you wonder if it’s the brain injury or the age, cause I feel mentally like the young idiot above. That’s me last week…
As I said before, I’m working on this project for getting sidewalks for all of us in this community. I talked to the mayor this morning. and she agreed, more and more people are coming here. I mean, New York City is getting bigger and bigger. My family has been around here since 1968 and we’ve just seen it grow and grow.
You know, last week I said I wasn’t gonna take on any more projects after the sidewalk thing. But you know what? I really do think I’m gonna take on the idea of more money for home care aides. I have an idea, and tell me what you think, but I really believe any profits these home care industry makes should go back to the worker, not just someone’s pocket. I really don’t think any homecare or any healthcare should be a private, for-profit industry. I really believe it’s up to the state, or the country to look after its citizens. Why are people making money at our misfortune? I mean, I might be opening up a can of worms, but when you’re in a situation like I am (man, I’m hurting) it kind of gets you angry to know that someone’s making money off of your misfortune. OK, I’ll get off my soap box now. It just gets me angry that’s all.
Anyway, it’s something that should be addressed because there are no workers out there who want to do home healthcare. I run into it all the time. And like my friend here said, and we’re all just getting older. Oh, by the way, my friend here also just became a senior citizen. I think we should both get canes and point at things.
Anyway, that’s it for now. Love and miss you guys. Talk to you next week when I’m 65!
Love, B. Nice
