<p>Well this day brings this log to a close. For once again I am in transition. I am not longer at the Vet shelter. Signed myself out yesterday. I have arranged a way to get across the state and to a working type situation. I will spend till WED in the Detroit area getting things here arranged to go. Then upon THURS morn will travel up to Grand Rapids area to take part in a small harvest attempt of deer upon a farm there. Then upon the setting of the sun on FRI I will be gotten and taken to where a room has been prepared for me to live. And then start upon the duties of an instructor and general work for a Seminary. I hope this is a step that will bring forth a good time and enjoyment of my life. Also that Isabell can see I am trying still to regain and become what is require of her. It has taken longer than I wanted and that she demanded of me. But It is a starting that will hopefully bring me to where I need and wish to go. With her back beside me and our son within reach voice and knowledge once again.</p>
<p>For those whom have read along with the days I have been typing thank you. For those who know me may this bring good news of me to you. I have yet to decide if will continue this with another log of the doings or not. But if I do it will be alike this one. So again thank you for reading. One will see from here where things goes with me now. A chapter has been closed another one starts. May it be written within time better and long lasting within things this time.</p>
<p>Dad is still not doing well. More procedures he faces, more chemo and such as well. I can do little here or there but worry and be of concern. Mom is as mom can be. I wait for news and things each day. And hope the powers called upon will heal and help Dad each day.</p> Got it, got it I got gold too…tag:travelingwithintheworld.ning.com,2011-11-11:2185477:Comment:1582192011-11-11T23:31:38.433ZRev.

<p>This morning the adventure started. Early the buss ride started but after three buses and a short ride in a truck we arrived three hours from our start. To find a dumped load of rocks, about 2.5 tons worth, that were to be moved to behind the house. The fun part was it was down hill 30 or so yards, just before the river weeds. Well with dolly in hand we did so. I loaded the dolly and he trucked it down the hill. I also 'gravity' fed some down as well. By 1530 this after noon we were done.…</p>

Well with dolly in hand we did so. I loaded the dolly and he trucked it down the hill. I also 'gravity' fed some down as well. By 1530 this after noon we were done. But the weather was cool windy and spitting almost snow upon us several times. Bus trip back and by 1930 returned. Was quite an adventure. Leg throbs, knee pops, hands stiff, between shoulders stiff as well. But a bit of money later all is done with the rocks. They will be moved by machine next to make a water break wall. So the 'boulders' turned into rocks that I could move and even lift 90% of them up on the dolly, the rest twist and maul on it as well.</p>

<p>Then the Com & Pen person did not bring the papers this morning but will now mail me copy of so I have it.</p>
<p>The Sara my 'manager" cought me for the one on one to day almost a month from the last one. Told to pay month service fee. And when I talked of things and what I was doing, it turned into a walking away by me so I did not lose words in venting to her. When I returned MR ARMSTRONG basically demanded the fee which I did not have one me. When told that he stated that if I did not pay by close or end of business today he was going to discharge me. He is a >>>> many times when dealing with me. Seriously think he should not be able to deal with people.</p>
<p>Also I missed the Bonnie appointment yesterday. Which when I returned from the event meal outing I scurried to the VA hospital to her office and sat and waited till she could see me. Told her of things. And directly afterwards on the way back up to the center stopped and got from bank atm the money then stopped at the money order place and out one of the one third amount of what they give me. Then went and directly gave it to Miss Winston.</p>
<p>Also all day guts have been giving me a time and do not know why. So flip flop goes the system and around and around to the bathroom I go. So far each place I have gotten to I have graced the facilities. Sipping sprite now and waiting to see what goes for now. I know, I know, it was the salad they had us eat.</p>
<p>On the morrow I got a chance to do side work of moving boulders, wondering what they consider one is. I know what I think. I fit is so than I can reach around or move it with a pry bar, it is a good sized rock. If it is bigger than me and I require someone to help me move it with a tractor it is a boulder.</p> Well this day took a walk to…tag:travelingwithintheworld.ning.com,2011-11-09:2185477:Comment:1577172011-11-09T01:08:35.902ZRev.

<p>Then returned to the center just before lunch and got taken over to talk to the lawyers of the disabled status. Again lots of talking lots of paperwork shuffle. and a couple of weeks or so to get back to me of things.</p>
<p>Then got trough way after lunch. and walked out to try to contact the internet. And was sniped by a calling from Compension and Pession of the disabled status completly diffrent from the other conversation. Which told me of resubmitting and reevauleing the things done. And on the morrow he will be at the center to bring me a paper of what we talked of and his contact data. Again a couple of weeks to get things going.</p>
<p>Then there is an event at the center as well on the morrow, Friday, saturday and monday so far have been told. Also I have been told that the security guard has reported that I am not sleeping in my bunk at night. Actually it is another room mate. But seems my bed number it he one that is written instead for some reason they can not count.</p>
<p>Asked to help move bolders on thursday as well. So may be that as well.</p>
<p>Tired, hip and leg has been very hurtful this day as well. But slowly getting messages done and things read.</p>

Also being told that in order to help one has to have things, but the thing is until I get the help those things can not be had. Circle, circle, circle. Have forms being sent to me as well to fill out and papers that must be photo copied to be sent back with them. So what the week will bring have not clues till Friday is dentist in the morning and if all goes well that will be the end of that.

<p>Glad to hear that you have a full set of teeth now. I'm looking forward to mine some day, perhaps next year. What books were ruined? Also happy to know that you went to a ceremony that helped. As for the bureaucratic idiots, they can only feel superior when "yelling" at someone who does not yet have power of his/her own. They are difficult to tolerate. You are not a church within yourself.

<p>Well last night the temp crown cracked. This morning pieces came out. So off to the Dentist I did roam. A new girl dentist started the repair and then Chris the normal one finished it out. Made it a bit thicker this time to hold and not hopefully crack again. Being that a gold metal crown was to be placed. The amount of tooth itself is less taken away in prep so any plastic temp will be thinner then normal crown would be. For like what they made the bridge from. SO more careful I must be.…</p>

The count down to the crown is to next friday. May all go well for it.</p>

<p>Remembrance is over the looking froward is now. May all be as needs to be and the return to life as one wants becomes as should be looked forward to.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Also there is an evet on the morrow that has to be decided if want to go to it or if they will make it required.</p>
