It was a good day today. Got up a little earlier than usual, so I could be washed and dressed and fed before a nice lady from the Ontario Ministry of Social Services (Assistance for Severe Disabilities) came over. Found out that for the next year, I'm going to be getting an extra $250/mo for the next year to cover expenses like parking and gas and food for hospital visits. With that, the EI and the Child Tax Benefit, I'm making about as much as I was talking to stupid people 5 days a week. This feels like such a great scam...I just wish I could continue on like this beyond when my MatLeave is up.

fuzzpsych was a silly monkey and went to bed later than usual last night. He kind of woke up when the Ministry person was over, and with the sporadic and constant whistle being blown outside, he couldn't go back to sleep. He asked me if I knew who was blowing the whistle so he could shove it where the sun didn't shine and the look on his face when I told him it was a cop directing traffic was damned near priceless!
A couple of days ago, I had to pick up some supplies before cleaning the bathroom (see previous post for the hilarity that ensued there), and a cop was directing traffic at the corner of Bridgeport and Weber so the Region guys could change over the traffic light junction box (which is what was done today). The cop asked if I wanted to cross. I said please and he stopped all the traffic. It was nice knowing that for once I wasn't going to get clipped by someone tearing around the corner not paying attention to the pedestrians.
I had to go uptown and get quarters and twine. Got the money from the machine and then had the teller change it from paper to metal. Had a streetdog. That was nice. Sitting on the little concrete retaining wall in the sun munching on something that will undoubtably give me cancer. But it just didn't matter. It was good and I enjoyed it.
Walked further down King than I usually do (I tend to get to Wordsworth and then turn around again) after seeing the lovely quartz sphere thatshishain had with her at the hospital (hugs for you when you're not in such pain). The shop is called "Weather" and aside from being fairly small, it's full of lovely inexpensive shiny things. Oooo...I love shiny things. :) It has semiprecious stones in various settings and sizes and lots of silver, too. I spoiled myself and bought four pairs of studs, including a very lovely green amber pair.
joncanuck and the_daily_rant popped round tonight for a visit. I fed them homemade treats and they brought me a box of crack Girl Guide Cookies. *delightful shudder* It was good to see someone socially and have a conversation with other adults. :)
Well, it's late, the moon is starting to sink down towards the horizon and I should be in bed.
