The first ironic thing was when the St Lawrence Market rang a bell at 11a.m., and announced that we should give a moment of silence for those who lost their lives during WWI, hardly anybody paid attention, and small children cried from the sudden loud noise.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The second, well, actually, <u style="font-style: italic;">main reason</u> for the irony of the day is its symbolic significance. Remembrance Day is about remembering those who passed away in a horrific war. It is is time for reflection, to say to ourselves, “Wow, that was really terrible! We shouldn’t do that again!” Instead, there’s a war between Russia and Ukraine and another war between Israel and Palestine (there’s other wars going on in the world too!) War is the biggest past time, besides sex and sports. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">I guess what really upsets me is the war between Israel and Palestine, it hurst my very soul that thousands upon thousands of innocent civilians are being slaughtered every day. I don’t like to even call it a war because the civilians have no weapons. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The UN and all the politicians know what’s happening and, yes, countries like France want to call for a ceasefire, but countries like the US and Canada seem actually squeamish about doing this. I don’t know why. All around the world people are protesting and demanding a cease fire. Why aren’t our politicians listening? </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">After I left the Market, I saw a homeless man shivering in the cold and I automatically gave him some money. Maybe 5 seconds later I saw a couple run up to the man and give him coffee and pastries. I felt so happy and thought, yes, this is how life should be. People should have compassion for one another. We shouldn’t beat or kill people for differences or to conquer land. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">On Remembrance day, let’s try to remember to be compassionate and kind to each other. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">During this month, this song keeps playing in my head.

I, of course, said yes because I want everybody in the world to see it! </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0cm;"><span style="color: #454545; font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody, serif; font-size: 16pt;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0cm;"><span style="color: #454545; font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody, serif; font-size: 16pt;">The OFCP also asked for a short Bio from me. This is what I wrote: </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0cm;"><span style="color: #454545; font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody, serif; font-size: 16pt;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0cm;"><span style="color: #454545; font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody, serif; font-size: 16pt;">My name is Anne Abbott. I was born in 1958 with a condition called Cerebral Palsy. However, it was a year later, just after I had my first birthday, when the doctors officially confirmed that I, indeed, had C.P.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0cm;"><span style="color: #454545; font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody, serif; font-size: 16pt;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0cm;"><span style="color: #454545; font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody, serif; font-size: 16pt;">I’ve often wondered if the delay of the diagnosis was due to the kind of kid I was. My mother used to tell me that right from the very start I had such incredible determination and endless energy.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0cm;"><span style="color: #454545; font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody, serif; font-size: 16pt;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0cm;"><span style="color: #454545; font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody, serif; font-size: 16pt;">On the day of my christening, I consistently played with the pages of the Bible and the minister’s cross. At the doctor’s office, on the day he was attempting to tell my mother that I had Cerebral Palsy, I kept trying to pull away from her grip in order to grab a pen from the desk between them. The doctor, exasperated, asked my mother, “Where does she get her determination from? You, or her old man?”<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0cm;"><span style="color: #454545; font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody, serif; font-size: 16pt;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0cm;"><span style="color: #454545; font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody, serif; font-size: 16pt;">As a toddler, during nighttime prayers, my mother would always say, “Please, God, help Annie walk and talk.” It was here that I would move my legs under the covers in a running motion, signalling to my mother that I wanted her to add, “and run and play.” I wanted to run and play just like my brother and his friends did. Certainly, I was included in all of their games, but I wanted to climb trees and get skinned knees myself.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0cm;"><span style="color: #454545; font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody, serif; font-size: 16pt;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0cm;"><span style="color: #454545; font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody, serif; font-size: 16pt;">I had so many dreams and schemes for the future when I was a child. I wanted to be a doctor, an actress, a dancer, a writer, an artist. I wanted to move out when I was older, get married and have children of my own - just like everyone else!<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0cm;"><span style="color: #454545; font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody, serif; font-size: 16pt;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0cm;"><span style="color: #454545; font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody, serif; font-size: 16pt;">Sadly, though, as time went by, perhaps because of societal ableism or my own teenage self-loathing, I didn’t follow through with a lot of my dreams.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0cm;"><span style="color: #454545; font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody, serif; font-size: 16pt;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0cm;"><span style="color: #454545; font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody, serif; font-size: 16pt;">And yet, my determination and energy have never wavered in the things that truly matter to me. Art and writing were, and are, of the utmost importance. As a person who is nonverbal, expressing myself has been absolutely crucial to my survival and psyche. By communicating my thoughts and feelings, upon either canvas or tablet, I feel understood and heard.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0cm;"><span style="color: #454545; font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody, serif; font-size: 16pt;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0cm;"><span style="color: #454545; font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody, serif; font-size: 16pt;">If you have watched the biographical short documentary “Feelings of Invisibility “(produced by Charmaine Lewis), you’ll know that. I did move out on my own and married a wonderful man named Rob. Oh yes, and I started my own art business called Annie’s Dandy Note Cards and Artwork. I’ve been selling my artwork every Saturday at the St. Lawrence Market for 22 years. I’m also a member of the Canadian Communication Access Alliance, which focuses on the rights of people with communication disabilities. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0cm;"><o:p> </o:p></p><p><br /></p>Annie's Dandy Bloghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10730709738476847250noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7886325867431607475.post-1372455879271243822023-09-26T06:52:00.007-04:002023-10-17T00:35:26.826-04:00Our Song<p style="text-align: left;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTu4-HR3JPt4DRVT6HnWzcwX51awTAEKFXAuxzbKKHqhKBJpSwwrRHeVYULdvsSAj5Rwsajb9ruvo09C22GWKvrO9CdhKrbhPG5yFTNyE3a-mJrR_gpw0gWGB_PswEoeIdPZ_4cRizfC-pT6hRXWyIZYVhN3LpnNXmfQT8k06Xdx3C2QS7o_VFNImShfwZ/s3485/IMG_5185.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3485" data-original-width="2690" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTu4-HR3JPt4DRVT6HnWzcwX51awTAEKFXAuxzbKKHqhKBJpSwwrRHeVYULdvsSAj5Rwsajb9ruvo09C22GWKvrO9CdhKrbhPG5yFTNyE3a-mJrR_gpw0gWGB_PswEoeIdPZ_4cRizfC-pT6hRXWyIZYVhN3LpnNXmfQT8k06Xdx3C2QS7o_VFNImShfwZ/s320/IMG_5185.jpeg" width="247" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEium5qiOpVZ7_dbhn5k7_BWXnMMGzTagcbAg78LW29rD5KZ5Cp7Seeg_Yyhx6Ur8ocUAQN3CibGwQUXWhQfOQUbUh4Owkvots6rutuE1gkhzpJn_YMKec49hha7yaByTM5pW1oyMAy4_hVqE71Vz6n7IXiVK_-3BEHMCQTTqEyyE-qLNGaUJ4_Y_N6XiDkP/s3024/IMG_5187.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="2569" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEium5qiOpVZ7_dbhn5k7_BWXnMMGzTagcbAg78LW29rD5KZ5Cp7Seeg_Yyhx6Ur8ocUAQN3CibGwQUXWhQfOQUbUh4Owkvots6rutuE1gkhzpJn_YMKec49hha7yaByTM5pW1oyMAy4_hVqE71Vz6n7IXiVK_-3BEHMCQTTqEyyE-qLNGaUJ4_Y_N6XiDkP/s320/IMG_5187.jpeg" width="272" /></a></div><br /><br /><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>

away.</p>

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">I held your hand, stroked your face and mass of curly hair,</p>

heart, cared.</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Over and over, I played our song, </p>

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Like two puzzle pieces we fit together perfectly.</p>

certainty.</p>

wrong.</p>

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">For two days and one night,</p>

everything was going to be alright.</p>

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">For twenty-one years you had been my one and only.</p>

true,</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">There was nothing I didn’t love about you.</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">You had been sweet and kind.</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Now that you were gone,</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">I felt as if I was losing my mind.</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"> </p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Your heart had literally been broken, beyond repair.</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">I found it hard to grasp that you would no longer be there.</p>

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">After day …</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">After day …</p>

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Ebb and flow.</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">There’s no place to hide, no place left to go.</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Throughout the years, my grief has become like an ocean,</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Full of thoughts and emotions.</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">There are times when the tide comes in and I can feel happy
and glad.</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">There are times when the tide goes out and I simply feel lonely
and sad.</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"> </p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Still, my love, I have wonderful, treasured memories of
being with you.</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Now, during good times and bad, </p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Remembering you is what helps me to get through.</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Also, and never forget, I’m always connected with you through
our song.</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Whenever I hear it, it’s as if you are with me,</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Which makes me feel happy, secure and strong, </p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">As if nothing could ever be wrong.</p>

I’m just juggling way too many things right now. Good and bad, happy times, maddening ones. Some people have been driving me nuts, while others have given me many touching and joyous moments. I’m constantly torn between wanting to do the things I want to do and the things I need to do.</p><p>Here are some photos of my niece and I celebrating her birthday; me celebrating my 65th birthday; Frida Zappa opening her birthday present, and then Watson claiming it for himself.</p><p>Afterwards, I’ll go back to working on the current schedule/pay period for my schedule and updating my finances. Oh yes, also replying to emails, schedule an interview for a potential new employee, and find out what the devil happened to the cat food I ordered a week ago.</p><p>Hopefully tomorrow I can finally finish the painting I’m working on, as well as add a little to the poem I’m writing.</p><blockquote style="border: medium;

I promise to give more detail later when I have the chance. </p><p>A+ for St. Lawrence Market. My customers were so nice and friendly and respectful. Yay! </p><p>B- The Waterfront Woman’s Awards were about 65% good and yet 35% frustrating and humiliating. On the good side I saw my cousin Vicky (well Robs cousin actually), the dinner was delicious, and I met a few people I liked. On the bad side, I had to deal with more people treating me like I was invisible. The staff would keep asking my PSW, “What would she like?” and things like that, and I would keep spelling out on my communication board, “Please talk to me directly!”. They also sat me way at the back so I couldn’t see anything. Sure, maybe I saw a few things, but when they started the auction and the fashion show I couldn’t see anything at all because people were standing up with their fucking phones, video taping the show! If I had been placed at a closer table, there would have been no problem! However, nobody thought about my perspective in this matter at all. </p><p>F- My journey home. I should have taken a cab home with Cassandra, but I decided to wheel myself home instead. Ugh! The lighting was poor so I couldn’t see the sidewalk very well so I went onto the grass and I got stuck. Fortunately, a very nice couple helped me to get unstuck. A few minutes later, a van came inches away from hitting me. (What’s wrong with people?) When I did finally get home, I was soaking wet and exhausted.</p><p>By the way, I didn’t win an award. I didn’t care, though, I just wanted to have fun and feel included.</p><p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFOm7dt57iDjUHPBbmTd_fcU30Lob3n9zzG5DPPZ0Qg8nJGdE_Jfkt3hcbSXEg49ukiIC0vHmxwZOtJhDkVaNcAjRrMW0MULnnwGqxZX3FE2epNOUwHITun4C6NZmVjwcEHsnnEp7WL-cEEzpALUbVcjndLmYPAN_siwX6_ImkTbSXWciyx_Rj_tDZU7So/s3450/IMG_4600.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

When she was alive, she and I would meet at Tim Horton’s at College Park every Tuesday. We would sit and chat about what was happening in her life and mine. She’d have coffee or tea, and I’d have an Ice Capp and something sweet to eat, like Tim Bits or a donut. </p><p>Afterwards, Mom and I would browse the stores in the mall and then have dinner at either Cafe California or Sambucas.</p><p>Tomorrow would have been Moms 98th birthday, so I’m going to celebrate by ordering dinner from Sambucss and having a cake and finishing off the Tim Bits.</p><p>Why the odd tittle for this post you may ask? Well, about 3 weeks ago I popped in to a Tim Horton’s after the Market, and this weird thing happened to me. All of a sudden, out of the blue, there was a voice inside my head that said, “There is Nothing Which I Cannot Do.” It was like an epiphany! For these past few months I’ve been extra stressed out. There’s so much I need to do and so much I want to do. And, honestly, looking for new PSW’s, interviewing them, and then training them has been the most stressful part. </p><p>However, this brilliant phrase has given me strength to carry on. Whenever I’m stressed out I just repeat that over and over in my head and I feel better. I can’t help thinking maybe Moms spirit was in Tim Horton’s and she put that idea in my head. Mom was always there to support me and believed in me.</p><p>I love you, Mom, and miss you so terribly much! Like I always used to say, you’re the best Mom in the universe!</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmb1F6u5xxfHVP6Rnu3m0zgBojC3AOxc-MntF1yqK7q0_4MMsgYR5xHt5bhZw6goEtbK8MN8xxOW2ej_EBzLBeS_CDfiH0dYEJU6MSS7IO5qYK0SV8YzAhBBjIBBpOgFhIrTz_dOZF7gIyZm3JFg8xB8CZyHpr94xPAJeQrqZ41Hrq5shVW4XXu8wzjg/s4032/IMG_4355.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmb1F6u5xxfHVP6Rnu3m0zgBojC3AOxc-MntF1yqK7q0_4MMsgYR5xHt5bhZw6goEtbK8MN8xxOW2ej_EBzLBeS_CDfiH0dYEJU6MSS7IO5qYK0SV8YzAhBBjIBBpOgFhIrTz_dOZF7gIyZm3JFg8xB8CZyHpr94xPAJeQrqZ41Hrq5shVW4XXu8wzjg/s320/IMG_4355.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p><br /><br /></p>Annie's Dandy Bloghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10730709738476847250noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7886325867431607475.post-9156596336693260562023-05-28T23:55:00.001-04:002023-05-29T00:14:15.837-04:00A Brilliant Saturday!<p> </p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUfzb3HB9Did1XcWQsf_69nC7uKYmbrgSz-lxzUCDbE7mi0deWfrKsHw54Y0sLp8q5LgEVdV78kMzVNy204Jbo7jguyhDVqP28w6R9LHaZZDsxR91jQ8S1XKIGvhujd-fCZIK-JKGC6v0WNhK3rggdeMGzrp27DziQV9I7hVCiSu0GyQ0iZsiREaI_TA/s3345/C2481997-172E-4863-97CD-0483575124E6.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2699" data-original-width="3345" height="258" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUfzb3HB9Did1XcWQsf_69nC7uKYmbrgSz-lxzUCDbE7mi0deWfrKsHw54Y0sLp8q5LgEVdV78kMzVNy204Jbo7jguyhDVqP28w6R9LHaZZDsxR91jQ8S1XKIGvhujd-fCZIK-JKGC6v0WNhK3rggdeMGzrp27DziQV9I7hVCiSu0GyQ0iZsiREaI_TA/s320/C2481997-172E-4863-97CD-0483575124E6.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmViGVI8iOcKDJMPRs5wqoSQeJ6qSvA3Tyz3Zj_jQg6fqZAM97auEXoKXzbrX_3RIBDkA0w4kC045eE9z3xs47sA3zIo9n0rxjQ37awW9pT96B8N5oC2Ah9EyJO439H1giJx8tuZky62bVUP6txdvH9xuKZ-dDgKRkVqI0B7i74VR_gn8bmYqfkpTalQ/s1600/678C3DE7-2DEB-4B5C-BBC1-D3425431AC1B.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmViGVI8iOcKDJMPRs5wqoSQeJ6qSvA3Tyz3Zj_jQg6fqZAM97auEXoKXzbrX_3RIBDkA0w4kC045eE9z3xs47sA3zIo9n0rxjQ37awW9pT96B8N5oC2Ah9EyJO439H1giJx8tuZky62bVUP6txdvH9xuKZ-dDgKRkVqI0B7i74VR_gn8bmYqfkpTalQ/s320/678C3DE7-2DEB-4B5C-BBC1-D3425431AC1B.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div><br />The Market wasn’t very busy yesterday. I only made $31.00. And yet, it was a beautiful and sunny day and I still enjoyed myself. <p></p><p>At the end of the day, a woman came up to me and asked me if I could do two paintings for her. One would be a painting of her daughter (who was with her) and herself. And the other one would be her pet dog, who had just passed away. I automatically agreed to do the two portraits, of course. The woman started to cry and I comforted her by giving her a hug. I love trying to help people whenever I can. I know how terrible loss can be. </p><p>After the Market I picked up some cat food and then I went to Rexall and got myself some chocolate on sale. </p><p>When I got home, much to my surprise and delight, my friend Alana dropped by with her 6 month old baby. It it was a short visit, but it made me very happy! </p><p>All in all, it was a brilliant Saturday!</p>Annie's Dandy Bloghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10730709738476847250noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7886325867431607475.post-37238296380279031002023-05-18T22:43:00.001-04:002023-05-18T22:57:28.108-04:00Everything Balances out in the End <p>One of my friends just asked me how I was doing. My reply was this:</p><p><br /></p><p>I’m so incredibly busy!!!! It’s all just one big juggling act. Interviewing people, training them (letting them go if they’re a bad kind of weird), painting, and, of course, patting cats 🐈⬛🐈⬛🐈</p><p>One bad thing happened. My MasterCard got compromised, but it got straightened out. And, one good thing happened. My friend Greg invited me to a comedy show that he was hosting. That was fun!

(Personal Support Workers). They both ignored my presence and talked about me in the third person to the person I was with, one of my current PSWs.</p><p>I spelled out words and phrases on my communication board, and one of my current PSWs relayed the messages to both interviewees. First the pleasantries: “Nice to meet you. Please take a seat.” An introduction to my cats, who were rubbing against their arms and shoulders. Yes, even the cats were getting more recognition than I was!</p><p>It only took me a few seconds to see that both of the interviewees were actively avoiding looking me. (I don’t know why! I’m quite attractive, with bright and cheerful clothing, and flaming red hair!) And then, a few seconds later I recognized that they were talking about me to my PSW.</p><p>With the assistance of my PSW, I communicated: “Please look at me when you’re speaking.” “Please do not talk about me in the third person. I am right here beside you..” "Do you look at your other clients and speak directly to them?"<br /></p><p>Neither person understood my meaning, and left soon afterwards.</p><p>I should be used to this kind of ignorance, but it still hurts. At 64 years of age, I find it hard to accept that things haven't really changed since I was a child. Certainly, my family, close friends, and customers see me as a fellow human being, with the same wants and desires as anybody else. They see my values and strengths, and the contributions I make to our society.</p><p>I'm 64 years old, and I should be used to the negative attitudes of some people. Lately, though, it seems like a bit harder for me to take. I am strong. I am Anne Kathryn Abbott! And yet ... lately, I've felt tears stream down my cheeks whenever something like this happens.</p><p>I am a person, a daughter, a sister, a widow, an aunt, a niece, a friend. I am an artist, writer, political activist.</p><p>I am <i>not invisible!</i><br /></p>Annie's Dandy Bloghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10730709738476847250noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7886325867431607475.post-50318944867212006712023-04-12T19:36:00.005-04:002023-04-13T01:25:19.626-04:00Dancing on the Head of a Pin Once Again<p></p><p><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span face=""Bahnschrift",sans-serif" lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 13pt;">Standing
upright and tall,</span></p>

do my best not to topple and fall.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-tab-count: 4;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span face=""Bahnschrift",sans-serif" lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 13pt;">Repeatedly,
they try to knock me over -</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span face=""Bahnschrift",sans-serif" lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 13pt;">There’s
no place for me to run for cover.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span face=""Bahnschrift",sans-serif" lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 13pt;">They
pelt me with troubles and woes,</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span face=""Bahnschrift",sans-serif" lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 13pt;">But
I’m determined to stay steady on my toes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

<p class="MsoNormal"><span face=""Bahnschrift",sans-serif" lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 13pt;">Sometimes
I can’t stand it anymore,</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span face=""Bahnschrift",sans-serif" lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 13pt;">Sometimes
I want to simply hide and close the door. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span face=""Bahnschrift",sans-serif" lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 13pt;">Their
aim is accurate, it hits its mark -</span></p>

I want is to sit and cry in the dark.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-tab-count: 3;"> </span></span></p>

swear and grumble,</span></p>

still, I do not tumble.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span face=""Bahnschrift",sans-serif" lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 13pt;">I
never stop</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 36pt;"><span face=""Bahnschrift",sans-serif" lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 13pt;">Dancing</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 72pt;"><span face=""Bahnschrift",sans-serif" lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 13pt;">Dancing like a
top.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-tab-count: 4;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span face=""Bahnschrift",sans-serif" lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 13pt;">I
can never give in</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span face=""Bahnschrift",sans-serif" lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 13pt;">Because
if I do, they will most certainly win. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span face=""Bahnschrift",sans-serif" lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 13pt;">And
so I spin...</span></p>

I need to do so many things, and I want to do so many things - sometimes the two realities collide and conflict with each other. When this happens, I feel terrible anxiety, panic even, knowing that, as hard as I try, I am not perfect.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">It's hard for me to believe that I haven't posted anything here in over a year. My life has been hectic, unstable even. However, posting on my blog gives me great pleasure. To express myself, share my life experiences and ideas/views - what could be more cathartic?!</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">So, I promise, here and now, to post more often. Even if it's a picture, a sentence, or just a simple word, I will try my best to post something, at least on a weekly basis<br /></span></div>Annie's Dandy Bloghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10730709738476847250noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7886325867431607475.post-47762510396637991842022-04-12T02:19:00.003-04:002022-04-12T04:07:31.154-04:00Drinking Crown Royal and Smashing Chips<p> </p><p>Written on April 10, 2022</p><p> </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQy9sQx_uPW99Wjbl51QpathsGmpVKA5UBihnXjkWtNZ0abHBQyC87Asdq_QcroRnlkBw4p8vHmzUAyTaOk-IhpHTGv2ihpYeqj56cd6zZU1GqG6N8j9kMANisuv1q0u6lkaT1mWTwt7tIGktO7GifuEnGvBoX5L0GiuiLn4JmSAaftZiql8a6T33yiQ/s1963/61258FF9-6BA3-4F0F-A2BE-53EE05CBB194.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1602" data-original-width="1963" height="261" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQy9sQx_uPW99Wjbl51QpathsGmpVKA5UBihnXjkWtNZ0abHBQyC87Asdq_QcroRnlkBw4p8vHmzUAyTaOk-IhpHTGv2ihpYeqj56cd6zZU1GqG6N8j9kMANisuv1q0u6lkaT1mWTwt7tIGktO7GifuEnGvBoX5L0GiuiLn4JmSAaftZiql8a6T33yiQ/s320/61258FF9-6BA3-4F0F-A2BE-53EE05CBB194.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div><br /> <!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt;">“Where
do I start? <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Well, one employee/friend’s cat
was very ill, so I paid for part of the vet bills.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>(Animals in need are my weakness!) Another
employee/friend’s dad is having health problems.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I feel sorry for her, of course, but I’m also
concerned that she might have to go back to Ottawa if his condition becomes worse,
which would leave me with only two people to help me out. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Not only that, but other friends are going
through the trauma off having a death in the family, and I’m doing my best to
give everyone emotional support as best I can. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Also, another one of my friends thought that
she was having a heart attack last week, and last night I heard that another
friend had passed away due to complications from his diabetes.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt;">Besides
all of this, I’m extremely busy! <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’m
painting constantly (which I love!) and now I belong to two separate committees,
both of which are focussed upon improving the quality of life for people with
communication disabilities.”</span>
</p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><span> </span><span> </span>This conversation has been quite
a while ago now. I didn’t tell my nephew about the extent of my stress levels. I
haven’t told him that since that day there have been times when I feel like
going to my bedroom to vent, by screaming and crying out loud. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Instead, I simply drink a few more shots of Crown
Royal and smash a bag of potato chips into tiny pieces. (I can only eat chips
when they’re in small pieces anyway, so it works out nicely.)</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span> </span><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Covid, with all of its variants,
has been, and continues to be, the bane of my existence. Two years ago (it certainly
feels longer!) four of my employees left my service, due to the fear of the pandemic
and for other personal reasons.</span>
</p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14pt;"></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span>The three people who are left
(thank god for them!) and I, have muddled through these past two years.
Everyone has had all of the required vaccinations, although scheduling an
appointment was sometimes like jumping through hoops!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Gloves, face masks, hand sanitizer and disinfectant
wipes have all been used as a means to protecting ourselves against Covid and
its variants. Buying the Rapid Test Kits, though, especially during the time
period when there were other 10,000 cases of Covid in Ontario, was like going
on a scavenger hunt.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><span> </span><span> </span>I haven’t been selling my artwork at the St. Lawrence
Market since Christmas. I want to go back, but first the numbers of cases were
too high, then the government took away the mandate for face masks and vaccine passports,
which has made my employees and I feel very vulnerable. And now, apparently, there’s
a new variant in the UK; China; the Netherlands; and, some parts of Europe. They
say that it’s not as bad as other types, but hospitalizations are way up<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><span> </span><span> </span>Should I Stay or Should I Go Now? Should I Stay or Should
I Go Now?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>These lyrics from The Clash run
through my mind on a daily basis.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I want
to go back to the market so badly!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I miss
my customers and the friends I’ve made over the years – and, of course, the
money I made weekly!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s been hard to
make ends meet lately. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I don’t know…. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I just don’t know….<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I keep hearing different stories, different opinions.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s doing my head in!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And, of course, it’s not just me that I have
to think about.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If my employees don’t feel
comfortable or safe coming with me to the market, which is often crowded, I
can’t make them.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><span> </span><span> </span>And that brings me to the two main points of this blog
post, both of which have made me absolutely infuriated! (It’s chips smashing time!)
</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><span> </span><span> </span>The Centre of Independent.Living in Toronto (CILT) is
like a double-edge sword to me. Yes, yes, I bow down to them and kiss their
feet for giving me Direct Funding fifteen years ago!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Direct Funding has allowed me to crawl out
from beneath of the oppressive and sometimes abusive rock of the on-site attendant
care system.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Through Direct Funding, I
am able to train, pay, hire and fire the people I choose to help me live my life.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Direct Funding has given me the sense of freedom
and independence I never had before.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I sincerely
and emphatically thank CILT for allowing me to have Direct Funding and some semblance
of control over my life!</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><span> </span><span> </span>And yet… <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’ve received
emails occasionally over the years from CILT telling me that I was either over
budget or under budget, even though the hours for my employees rarely, if ever,
change.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’m very anal about keeping track
of my employees’ schedules and hours! I’ve learned to do and say nothing to
CILT about this matter, because things always seem to get straightened out
anyway.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In the beginning, I used to apologize
and tell them that I’d do better, fearing that if I rocked the boat I’d maybe
lose my funding.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><span> </span><span> </span>About nine months ago I received an email from CILT requesting
that I clarify the identity of one my employees.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You see, as a sign of respect for this one
person, I used to simply put their preferred name instead of their dead name in
my scheduling sheets.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’ve been doing
this ever since they started working for me, two years ago. However, suddenly CILT
directed me to use the person’s “real” name in my schedule sheets. So, I’ve compromised.
Now, I put my employee’s preferred name, and then AKA and their dead name. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That seemed to satisfy CILT.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span>It is interesting, though, because this same employee also
works for another woman who has a disability.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The woman receives Direct Funding from CILT, just as I do, and has to
send in her quarterly schedule report, just as I do… and yet, the matter of clarifying
this same employee’s “real” name has never been put into question.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span>It was around this time when I received another email from
CILT telling me that they had noticed that two of my employees were working 38
to 40 hours a week, and that this had to stop because they were going into overtime.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I wrote back and explained that I was in a
difficult position at the time. Four people had left my employment, the
pandemic was at its zenith, and everyone was scrambling to get vaccinated. I’d
do my best to get things in order, I told them, but, frankly, I didn’t feel
comfortable hiring anymore new people at the moment. No one seemed particularly
eager to knock on my door and ask for a job either.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span>CILT never emailed me back, nor did they give me any helpful
suggestions on how to rectify this difficult situation. So, I just assumed that
they would let things go along as they were for a while.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> And then, two weeks ago, when I was dealing with a dear
friend dying, when my cousin-in-law thought she was having a heart attack, when
I had to support friends through some difficult times, when I was anxious (and
still am!) about the possibility of one (or two, or all three) of my employees
suddenly having to leave or becoming ill (what would I do then????) <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>- that was when CILT decided to email me
again.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> It was on the same subject as last time: two out of your three
employees should not be allowed to do so many hours. Paying people for overtime
was out of the question!</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> Interestingly enough, the tone of CILT’s email made it sound
like they had never broached this subject with me before, nor had they received
my response.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14pt;">This second email upset me greatly!! CILT claimed that working
for such long hours could potentially cause “accidents” or “mental stress” for
both patties. I haven’t responded yet.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’ve
rolled my eyes and gritted my teeth, but not a word has been written.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Their unjustified implications that I was 1) disrespecting
my employees and 2) being careless with their welfare was both frustrating and infuriating!</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 36pt;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;">The
people at CILT have no idea what the relationship between my employees and myself
is like.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There’s mutual respect between us
all. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In fact, we are more than just employer
and employees, we are friends. If someone has a problem, it’s discussed and
figured out.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>During the beginning of the
pandemic, for example, one person had a mild case of Covid and was unable to
work for a week, so the other two people rearranged their lives to help out.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And, I did my part as well by going to bed much
earlier than I usually do, suggesting to the people who do the overnight shifts
to just go home if they wanted, rather than staying with me all night.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 36pt;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;">For
every shift that my employees work, they get an official one-hour break. If I
want to sleep in, or want some time to myself to do some painting, then they
can also have some unofficial time off to do what they want.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 36pt;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;">I
am not a monster like Jeff Bezos who works his employees to the brink of
exhaustion and won’t allow them to take bathroom breaks. I actually care about
the people who work for me!</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 36pt;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;">When
I asked my employees about whether they felt like they were being overwhelmed
by the work they were doing for me, all three said no. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Certainly, an extra person for emergencies would
be great, of course, and if someone else (or perhaps the same person) could take
over the Thursday night shift, that would be good too.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Over all, though, my employees told me that they
were content with their schedules and didn’t feel overworked.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 36pt;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;">One
employee said that they used to work in a store forty hours a week, getting
paid only minimum wage, lifting heavy boxes and dealing with rude customers. The
person who also works for the other woman who receives Direct Funding explained
that with working for both of us, at different times during the week, it probably
ended up being around forty hours anyway.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 36pt;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;">This
brought up a segue. If I did cut back hours, my employees would have to find
part time jobs to make ends meet – Toronto is a very expensive place in which to
live!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Ironically, if my employees were to
juggle multiple jobs, wouldn’t that be exhausting for them and potentially cause
accidents in my workplace, both for them and myself?</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 36pt;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;">I feel
so frustrated! I feel like I’m between a rock and a hard place.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>CILT wants me to cut my employees’ hours back,
but my employees say they like the money I give them because it allows them to
pay rent, and to buy food and other necessities of life.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And, I, of course, need them to assist me live
my life the way I want. They have dreams and so do I, and for the past two hellish
years of Covid, there has been a certain camaraderie, if you will, amongst the
four of us to not only survive but to thrive as well!</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 36pt;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;">I
wish that the people at CILT could see things not only from my point of view,
but my employees’, as well. The provincial government, which gives money to CILT
in order to operate Direct Funding, should also open their eyes and realize that
serious changes need to be implemented.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 36pt;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;">The
Star stated that during last week, Ontario had seen from 100,000 to <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>120,000 <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>daily cases of the new Covid variant. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In my humble opinion, the pandemic will
continue onwards, morphing into different types of variants until… who knows
when?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There may be another lockdown, and
I’m sure this will hurt the economy even worse. Because of this eventuality,
people who receive low wages and who are already struggling to make ends meet
will find themselves in even tougher circumstances.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 36pt;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;">My
message to the government is this:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Please
raise the rates for all of the low-income people and make housing more affordable
as well. Please reinstate the mandates for masks, social distancing and vaccine
passports. The latter will keep cases down and make people feel safe. The former
will allow people some financial breathing room, which would make it easier not
to work multiple jobs and work overtime. For people like me, who receive Direct
Funding, it would allow me to cut the wood 🪵 back my employees’ hours and hire a couple
more people to help me live my life.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Until all of these suggestions are implemented, please, please, my dear
government, allot more money to CILT and the Direct Funding program so that
people like myself, who are in complicated and difficult situations at this
point in time, so that we might be allowed to give our employees/caregivers sometimes
when needed.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 36pt;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;">I
was going to write more, a lot more, focusing upon the other point that has me
so upset … so upset to the point of tears, but I suppose that there will have
to be a Drinking Crown and Smashing Chips Part II in the not-too-distant future.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 36pt;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Yesterday
afternoon, one of my employees informed me that they had woken up with a sore
throat and tested positive for Covid. I gave them my wholehearted sympathy, wished
them a speedy recovery and told them that I would see them again after their ten-day
isolation period was up.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 36pt;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Afterwards,
I immediately took a test, and so did the employee who was with me at the time.
Thankfully, we both tested negative.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Yay!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Well, at least that was something,</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 36pt;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;">It’s
6am now, and I’ve barely slept for wondering what worrying all night about how to
fill the three shifts left open. I think I have a plan… but what if falls through?
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’ll then have to email and text some friends
(people who have worked for me previously) and ask for help. People are so busy
these days. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 36pt;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;">I hate
the uncertainty of it all. </span></p>

Despite the pandemic and being in lockdown until March, I never stopped painting or thinking up new ideas for merchandise. (Occasionally, I did take a break and indulge in my addiction to Shein clothes.) <br /></p><p>After the lockdown was over, I painted quick sketches outside the Jimmy James Community & Art Centre, hosted by Jeff Bierk I did this for six wonderful, eye-opening weeks.</p><p>When I was allowed to go back, I started selling my artwork again at the St. Lawrence Market. It was like going home, seeing old friends and other vendors. Unfortunately, now that Covid cases are over 16,000 I've decided to take a break from the market until things settle down.</p><p>I've had both of my Covid shots, and I'm getting my booster on Tuesday. My 63rd birthday party was held in Allan Gardens with a few friends, and only three of my immediate family were over to my place for dinner. I just want Covid to be over ASAP, so we can get back to normal.</p><p>But, the most amazing, incredible, and wonderful things that happened to me in 2021 was that "Feelings of Invisibility" (a documentary based upon my life and art) won in two film festivals won for best short! <br /></p><p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

There has been a global pandemic, apocalyptic forest fires, horrendous acts of brutal racism by cops and the "Proud Boys.", an impeachment which came to naught, a Belgium llama named Daisy who was supposed to have the cure for Covid-19 (what happened to her?!) and a plague of murder hornets that attempted to kill off our much needed bee population. </p><p>I could go on and on about the horrible and ridiculous things that have happened in 2020, but, I'd rather show you how I've been dealing with it all instead.</p><p>After all, life goes on, even during the Apocalypse.<br /></p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span face="" style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "UD Digi Kyokasho NK-R";">I won't lie. Since the pandemic started, I've been on an emotional rollercoaster, feeling uncertain, sad, and anxious. However, one day, a few weeks ago, back in July, sticks in my mind. It
was kind of a mess for me, and, honestly, I got more than a little depressed.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span face="" style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "UD Digi Kyokasho NK-R";">I had so much to do that day. (Don’t
I always?) <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I had a ton of emails and text
messages that I wanted to work on, but the internet was completely out, and I
couldn’t use my iPad’s data plan either because it was all spent up.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Why, you ask? Because of the fact that my internet
connection had been unreliable all month, so I had to use my data plan in order
to do my work work online.</span><span face="" style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "UD Digi Kyokasho NK-R";"> </span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span face="" style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "UD Digi Kyokasho NK-R";">I love to watch Democracy Now!
while I have my breakfast most mornings to get some news and relax while I’m
eating. (Yes, yes, I know, this sounds totally counter-intuitive, especially considering
all of the absolutely horrendous things that are happening in the world today.)
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>However, because of the stupid faulty internet
connection, I wasn’t able to watch Democracy Now!</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span face="" style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "UD Digi Kyokasho NK-R";">Fortunately, Brittany called Tek
Savvy and everything got straightened out... that is, until the next day. (But
that’s another story.) <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Fixing the internet
took awhile, and Brittany was also helping me do the laundry,</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span face="" style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "UD Digi Kyokasho NK-R";">That morning, I was training a
new person how to do the basics: <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>assist
me with getting out of bad, eat breakfast, get washed and dressed. You know, the
regular stuff people do every day without having to really think about it. And,
with my regular employees, the people who know me and my daily routine so well,
I don’t have to think about it either, unless I’m doing something out of the ordinary.</span><span face="" style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "UD Digi Kyokasho NK-R";"> </span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span face="" style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "UD Digi Kyokasho NK-R";">I like the trainee, I really do.
They’re kind and respectful, and try hard to please me. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And that was part of the problem.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They were trying way too hard this day.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Even though it was their fourth time training
and I had repeatedly told them over a two week period to please not hover over me
or treat me as if I were a delicate little flower, they continued to do these
things.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span face="" style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "UD Digi Kyokasho NK-R";">Because the trainee kept asking
me every few seconds if I I wanted another bite of pancakes, I. became too anxious
to to finish my breakfast.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Instead., I suggested
that they take a break for an hour, to get lunch or something. I had tons of
computer work to do anyway.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When the trainee
came back fifteen minutes early, I asked them to please take my debit card and go
to Loblaws and buy a small birthday cake.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span face="" style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "UD Digi Kyokasho NK-R";">It was late by the time I got washed
and dressed, and Brittany and I had to hurry over to Hair of the Dog to pick up
the mac and cheese we’d ordered and then run over to Allan Gardens.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We were going there to celebrate Motria’s birthday.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span face="" style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "UD Digi Kyokasho NK-R";">I always love driving
in my power wheelchair, zooming around, looking at all the different people and
the beauty of the summer season.</span><span face="" style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "UD Digi Kyokasho NK-R";"> Driving around, even for a short
jaunt, removed all of the pressures that had been weighing on my mind that day … <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"></span>for a while at least.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span face="" style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "UD Digi Kyokasho NK-R";">Brittany and I stopped at a set
of lights for a period of time that was long enough for us to see one homeless
man kick another homeless man, who was sitting beside Tim Horton’s mumbling to
himself. The kicker yelled out, “That’s for stealing from me! You fucking
asshole!” He ran off immediately afterwards. The man who had been kicked didn’t
seem to be badly<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>hurt.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He mumbled, “I didn’t deserve that, did I? No.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Well, maybe…. I can’t remember….”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span face="" style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "UD Digi Kyokasho NK-R";">The lights turned green and
off we went. We never spoke about this incident, but I kept thinking about it for
the rest of the day.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span face="" style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "UD Digi Kyokasho NK-R";"> </span><span face="" style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "UD Digi Kyokasho NK-R";">Brittany and I found Motria,
and the three of us sat in a a beautiful, shady spot in Allan Gardens. The foliage
was lush and green, and the flowers were so incredibly colourful and vibrant.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There was such a a wonderfully wide variety
of everything as well.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span>
</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span face="" style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "UD Digi Kyokasho NK-R";">During the early evening,
whenever the conversation began to make me feel a little uncomfortable, I simply
focused on the beauty of the flowers that surrounded us and thought about how
I’d paint them.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span face="" style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "UD Digi Kyokasho NK-R";">As the three of us noshed upon
macaroni and cheese, sweet potato fries, Prosecco, and, later on, chocolate
birthday cake, the conversation was mainly about our dreams for the future.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Where would we be in five to ten years?</span><span face="" style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "UD Digi Kyokasho NK-R";"> </span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span face="" style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "UD Digi Kyokasho NK-R";">Ten years, I mused. I’d be 72
by then.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Despite the longevity that ran
in my family, would I still be alive?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And,
if so, would I still be bidding farewell to people I love because they sought
out greener pastures?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Would I still be training
new employees, some of whom I’d have an immediate connection, others painstakingly
longer?</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span face="" style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "UD Digi Kyokasho NK-R";">Brittany was talking about how
much she hated the city these days. It was too crowded and expensive, she said,
and the growing number of condos was taking the very charm away she’d been attracted
to when she moved here ten years ago.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span face="" style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "UD Digi Kyokasho NK-R";">Recently, one of Brittainy’s uncles
had offered her the house that he lived in in up north.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was an old house that had been in their
family for generations, but he was tired of taking care of it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Because it was old, the house needed a lot of
work done to it, which would cost money. Brittany sadly admitted that she wasn’t
able to afford something like this at this point in her life. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Plus, one of her sisters who had two small
children might decide to to take the house anyway.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And yet, that pull to go back home and live
with her family, in a beautiful, secluded town in Ottawa, was still very strong
within her.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span face="" style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "UD Digi Kyokasho NK-R";">I hated myself for the knee-gut
reaction I had in response to this news – even though Brittany had told me the
same thing the week before! My stomach clenched and I felt like running away and crying, The
song “Don’t Speak” repeated in my head.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>(It wasn’t the first time that this song had haunted me since the pandemic
had begun and I was sure that it wouldn’t be the last.) <br /></span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span face="" style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "UD Digi Kyokasho NK-R";">Don’t get me wrong, I
love Brittany and wish her all the luck in making her dreams come true.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was just that for the past four months
there were a couple of people who had decided to leave and go into self-isolation
and I’d had to scramble to find other people to cover the shifts and train them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Indeed, two more people were going to leave
my employment next week and I wasn’t 100% sure if I was going to be keeping the
newest employee. My anxiety levels were off the chart!</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span face="" style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "UD Digi Kyokasho NK-R";">Motria and Brittany then started
chatting about how wonderful it would be to just go away somewhere by themselves
for a few days, preferably near a body of water.</span><span face="" style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "UD Digi Kyokasho NK-R";"> </span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span face="" style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "UD Digi Kyokasho NK-R";">When they asked me where I’d
go if I could, just for a few days, I dodged the question by commenting on how lovely
it was to see monarch butterflies in Allan Gardens.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I hadn’t seen one around in years.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span face="" style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "UD Digi Kyokasho NK-R";">Sadness, regret, and envy welled up
inside of me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There have been so many times,
especially during this bloody pandemic, when I wished that I could just go away
by myself, just me … and yet, I always came back to the realization that this would never
be possible. To live my life, I will always need assistance from people.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That’s just how it was and will be, forever.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I love my employees, I do, and most of them are
my closest friends, and yet, just like the people who had left my service, I
felt the same kind of pull to go out on my own and try new things and have adventures.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span face="" style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "UD Digi Kyokasho NK-R";">When I go on my semi-annual
trips to London, England, I always take three or four employees with me. I book
the flights and the flat, and I consult with everyone about which shifts they’d
be able to take. (Of course, for my own benefit I always try to to match up the
right person with the activity of the day. (For example, Megan was the best person
with whom I could go pub-hopping and stay out late.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If I wanted to buy new shoes at Irregular
Choice or clothing at Collectif, Brittainy was the one who shared my
enthusiasm.)</span><span face="" style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "UD Digi Kyokasho NK-R";"> </span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span face="" style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "UD Digi Kyokasho NK-R";">I’d say that for 99% of the
time, I’m happy with the way things are. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s just that within these four and a half months
I’ve been juggling so much, much more than usual. People<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>talk about how PSWs get burnt out with this type
of job, and that's a valid concern - but what about the Self-Managers, the people like myself who keep the
shifts in order, keep track of the payroll, make sure that all of our employees
are content, as well as trying to live our best lives?</span><span face="" style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "UD Digi Kyokasho NK-R";"> </span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span face="" style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "UD Digi Kyokasho NK-R";">I knew that I would get over
these negative feelings, I always did. On that day, though, I was feeling
particularly low and burnt out and frustrated.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span face="" style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "UD Digi Kyokasho NK-R";">As we were packing up the leftovers
and getting ready to leave, I did what I always do: I pasted a smile on my face
and buried my feelings way, way down.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I took
a few pictures with Motria and the beautiful flowers, and then hugged her goodbye.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There was no reason for her to know how unhappy
I was. I didn’t want to ruin her birthday celebration.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span face="" style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "UD Digi Kyokasho NK-R";">Brittany and I started to head
home after that.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>On the way, I noticed
that the homeless guy was still sitting outside and talking to himself. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Brittany was far ahead of me, probably dying
to get into the coolness of my air-conditioned apartment. (It had been so hot and
humid outside, even in the shade.)<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She
hadn’t seen the car almost hit me as I was crossing a small side street.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I could see that the driver wasn’t looking
where he was going, so I stopped. When he did see me, he stopped.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I decided it was safe to carry on, but the driver
also started to move forward. We played this crazy game of Chicken one more
time before a guy behind me bellowed: “Hey, jackass! <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Stop and let her cross the road!”</span><span face="" style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "UD Digi Kyokasho NK-R";"> </span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span face="" style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "UD Digi Kyokasho NK-R";">So, I did.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span face="" style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "UD Digi Kyokasho NK-R";">Brittany was at the front door
of the apartment building waiting for me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When I told her that a car
had almost hit me, she said, “Well, that’s Toronto drivers for you.”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span face="" style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "UD Digi Kyokasho NK-R";">In that moment, that single
tiny moment, depression washed over me once again and the thought I had been
toying silently with all evening long exploded in my mind. <i><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Go, just go. Drive off in any direction and keep
on going.</i><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Where?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For how long? I had no idea.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was just a fantasy.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span face="" style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "UD Digi Kyokasho NK-R";">I followed Brittany into the
building and upstairs. As I sat in my apartment, I began to unwind and think how nice it had been to sit outside with Motria and Brittainy at Allan
Gardens.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Despite the heat and humidity, it
had been a beautiful day. I had loved all of the sights and and sounds and scents.
The food, drinks, and cake were all superb.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span face="" style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "UD Digi Kyokasho NK-R";">I smiled at the memory of hugging
Motria.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She was one of of my oldest and
dearest friends.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She was more like a sister
to me.</span><span face="" style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "UD Digi Kyokasho NK-R";"> </span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span face="" style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "UD Digi Kyokasho NK-R";">I smiled at the memory of the

wouldn’t let me pass.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span face="" style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "UD Digi Kyokasho NK-R";">Ok, I didn’t have the perfect
life and I couldn’t do things exactly how I wanted – but wasn’t that true for
most people?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And yes, I still felt sad
and regretful that so many friends had left, and more would most certainly leave in
the future. I still had many friends by my side, either in my employment or some who
were just a text/email/phone call away.</span><span face="" style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "UD Digi Kyokasho NK-R";"> </span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span face="" style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "UD Digi Kyokasho NK-R";">Not only that, but I had strangers

At first, I went weekly to the St. Lawrence Market. From January to mid-March, I went bravely and happily to interact with customers and sell my art. I didn't actually put much stock in the panic over the Corona virus. I thought that it was like any other flu or illness: people would contract it, recover, and then carry on as usual.<br />
<br />
However, when the government advised everybody to self-isolate until things got better, I stayed home. There wouldn't be many people at the market anyway, I reasoned.<br />
<br />
So, I've been biding my time until I get the green light and be able to go back to my beloved St. Lawrence Market.<br />
<br />
I paint and write, and I sell my merch on Etsy. I eat chocolate (Reese's Peanut Butter Cups are my favourite); and I drink Crown Royal, Bailey's, and red wine. Not all at once, though. My three cats give me love and joy through this crazy period. I’ve been FaceTiming with friends, too, but it's not the same as actually being with them. I've hired a new person named Charmaine (who is wonderful!) because two of my regular employees went into self-isolation.<br />
<br />
As always, my life is one big juggling act - only more so now!<br />
<br />

I did go outside this week. That's a brilliant beginning!<br />

Before the whole skydiving fiasco thing happened, I was going to write about my positive experiences during the summer and fall. A lot of things happened, both good and bad. I’m going to focus on the good, though, because the last three posts have been full of frustration and despair. Not that I didn’t have every right to feel the way I did, but, you know, it’s good to change things up a bit.<br />
<br />
Well, in July, my PSW’s/friends came with me to London, England again. Some of my artwork was exhibited at the Parallax Art Festival. I did brilliantly well during that trip! (Hopefully, I’ll do just as well - if not better! - this coming July.)<br />
<br />
I visited old friends and made new ones. I bought new clothes, shoes, and a small jar of pot cookies. I went to museums and art galleries. I drank in pubs and joined in on the Gay Pride celebrations.<br />
<br />
I love England!<br />

Much to my dismay and disappointment, however, Janice decided that I should
postpone my evaluation/jump until the following week so that she and John could
consult with the parachute company about people with Cerebral Palsy. (What a
company who made and sold parachutes could know about Cerebral Palsy was beyond
my imagination. People with C.P. are like snowflakes, in that each person’s
condition is uniquely different from one another – sometimes vastly
so!) And, once again, Janice said that even when I did come in
for my evaluation next week, she, John and another instructor would all be
there, and it still might not that I would actually get to
jump. Also, even though I had signed a waiver saying I wouldn’t sue
for injury or death, John still had the last say because he absolutely didn’t
want me to sue for damages or negligence.<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<br />
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;">With Brittainy’s assistance, I attempted to point
out to Janice how unfair and discriminatory she was being towards me. I had
signed the same waiver as any other off their customers and I knew all of the
risks - what was so different about me? And, why did I need three people to
evaluate my abilities? Couldn’t Ross just do it by
himself? Did other people have to jump through so many hoops?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;">And that’s when I heard Janice say to Megan, “I
don’t like using the word ‘normal’, but ….”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<br />
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;">It was cringe worthy. Whenever people say that they
don’t want to say something or don’t want to sound mean, or crass, or
insensitive – it actually means they do want to do exactly that! In
essence, Janice was implying, and not so subtly I may add, that she thought
that I wasn’t normal … that I was, in fact, <i>abnormal</i>. What
exactly do the words “normal” and “abnormal” mean? Who’s to say
what’s normal and what’s abnormal? These terms are very vague, and
yet can be extremely hurtful. Believe me, I know! Those words are
powerful enough to lift you up or take you down, to open doors or to have them
be closed on you.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;">In the end, everyone was getting tired and emotions
were running high, so I ended up conceding that I would go back to Skydiving
Innisville the following week. An exact date had yet to be confirmed. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;">However, that same night, Brittainy came into my
room and told me that she had just seen not one but two videos on the Skydiving
Innisville Instagram page. The videos showed two separate
individuals with totally different disabilities skydiving at their facility!
One man had lost his sight and hearing due to contracting meningitis. (His
video showed Ross communicating with him by pressing ASL letters onto his open
palm. Incredible!) The other man had been paralyzed from the waist
down due to an accident. He too was accommodated in his tandem jump
with no problem. In both videos the men seemed thrilled with the experience,
and Ross seemed truly happy to have been able to facilitate the jumps.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;">I felt angry and confused. If these two people were
allowed to jump, why wasn’t I? It didn’t make any sense to me!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;">During the next few weeks, I emailed back and forth
with Janice, and had another three-way conference call with her as well.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;">When I broached the subject of the two men with
different types of disabilities being able to jump at their facility, Janice
mumbled something about the fact that she and John hadn’t been there on those
particular days. That made me think, <i>Hmmm, so would things
have been totally different if Ross had been there and she hadn’t? Would I have
been able to do a tandem jump, just like those two men had? </i>Also, in
our email correspondence Janice always CC’d herself, John, occasionally Megan,
and me – but never Ross, the guy who specializes in these kinds of jumps and
who said that he was pretty sure there would be no problem tandem jumping with
me!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;">For my part in this correspondence, I had tried to
assure her that I was no delicate little flower. I explained that I had been on
many, many types of roller coaster rides and other types of rides without any
damage to myself. I told her about the time when I was in a wheelchair race at
age twenty-nine. I accidentally fell out of my chair onto asphalt
and broke my nose – I still stayed for the picnic and had a hotdog before going
to the hospital. And then there was that time when I was in the bathroom and my
commode/shower chair tipped over as I was reaching for something that was a tad
beyond my reach. My head hit the hard floor – wham! – but I was laughing when
Rob pulled me up. My head was fine but the chair had a crack
in it. Rob remarked: “Anne, your head is as hard as a rock!” (Rob always
used to tease me about my hard head. If I accidentally whacked my
head on a door or wall or something, he’d say, “Careful, Anne. You don’t want
to put a hole in that!”)</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;">I also explained to Janice that I hadn’t been able
to bring my own power wheelchair to Skydiving Innisville because it just
wouldn’t have been possible to fit it into Megan’s small car. Instead, we
brought Megan’s sister’s old manual wheelchair, the one she used when she was a
kid. The chair was old, a bit worn out, much lower to the ground
than my power wheelchair. Plus, the seat was very narrow and I had
to put cushions behind my back in order to feel comfortable. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;">(Yes, yes, I can see a glimpse from Janice’s point
of view. I probably did look smaller than usual and not as capable as I usually
do. And yet, her judgment was so quick and cruel, and there was no actual
physical testing to let me demonstrate my abilities or endurance!)</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;">But - and I tried my damnedest to explain this to
Janice - this was not at all how I presented myself to the world on a daily
basis! Usually I zoom around the city doing banking, shopping, seeing my grief
counsellor bi-weekly, meeting friends for dinner, and selling my artwork at the
St. Lawrence Market. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<br />
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;">At home, in my daily routine, with some assistance,
I can get in and out of bed myself. Getting dressed, I can lift my body up
myself so that my PSWs are able to pull my leggings or tights up or down. Like
some kind of well coordinated dance, I move my head; arms; and torso, while my
PSWs pull, yank; tug; and straighten my clothes </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;">I am not a limp doll – I can move my own body any
way I want. I just need help with the fine-tuning of things, that’s
all. I tried to explain all of this to Janice, but her answer was always the
same. She’d talk to John and the parachute company and then get back
to me about having me come back in.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;">I sent her these three videos of three different
people who had Cerebral Palsy - all of whom went skydiving without any kind of
difficulty at all! I had hoped that these videos would make Janice
see things differently and open up her mind to the possibility of allowing me
to skydive.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<br />
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;">They didn’t. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;">After three weeks of corresponding with Janice, I
became frustrated by being put off from setting a definite date. Occasionally,
John wrote me apologetic emails explaining that they were very busy doing
competitions and having skydiving tryouts at the CNE. They hadn’t forgotten
about me, he assured me, and were still discussing my “situation” with the manufacturer
of the parachutes. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;">Fed up, I emailed the company, instructing them to
to either give me a definite date or give me a full refund. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;">Janice didn’t like this. In a very
defensive email, she wrote back to me and said that 1) She didn’t appreciate
the tone of my resent emails. (I guess my feelings of frustration and
resentment somehow seeped through, although I did my best to reign them
in.) <b> </b>2) She thought that she had spent way too
much time on my case already. (Did Janice treat all of her customers as if
their individual accommodations were a nuisance to her?)</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-line-height-alt: 11.75pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-line-height-alt: 11.75pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;">On the
other hand, Janice told me that she was still in communication with the
parachute company. She didn’t give me any details about how that was going,
though. She also suggested that I have my doctor write a note saying that I was
fit enough to go tandem skydiving. That sounded fairly reasonable, until she
added that she also wanted to speak to my doctor about my
condition. That for me, was going too far - it was an invasion of
privacy! Hadn’t she heard of doctor/patient confidentiality? </span><span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-line-height-alt: 11.75pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-line-height-alt: 11.75pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;">Wanting
to cool down before I wrote back to Janice, I decided to try a
different skydiving company located just outside of Niagara Falls. My hopes
were high because a friend of mine (Samantha) who, like me, has Cerebral
Palsy, had been able to go tandem skydiving with this company. (I
shall call them Outside Niagara Falls.) </span><span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-line-height-alt: 11.75pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-line-height-alt: 11.75pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;">Initially,
just like me with Skydiving Innisville, the manager of Outside Niagara Falls
took one look at Samantha and told her that she wouldn’t be able to
jump. (Samantha, I should explain, is a bigger, more muscular person
than I am, and uses a manual wheelchair <i>not</i> one that is
motorized. She can also communicate verbally and has finer dexterity skills
than I do. So, the manager of Outside Niagara Falls seemed extremely
unreasonable.) </span><span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-line-height-alt: 11.75pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-line-height-alt: 11.75pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;">Fortunately
for Samantha, the instructor (let’s call him Steve) was there and said that it
would be no problem for him to go tandem skydiving with him. Like Ross, Steve
had had a lot of experience in assisting people with a wide range of different
types of disabilities to skydive.</span><span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-line-height-alt: 11.75pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;">And Steve
had been right m his estimation of Samantha’s capability. There had been no
problem, no complication, and no kind of injury at all.</span><span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;">So, I had anticipated that my experience with the
Outside Niagara Falls skydiving company would be similar to that of my friend
Samantha’s. Perhaps a tad too optimistic, I had thought that the
owner of the company would have learned not to pre-judge someone just because they
are in a wheelchair. I also expected that Steve would have
been as supportive of my<u> </u>desire to jump as he had been with
Samantha.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;">I was wrong on both accounts.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;">Again, upon seeing me for a mere ten seconds the
manager (let’s call her Kathleen) said no, no it’s impossible for her to jump.
(She addressed her “evaluation” to Megan, not to me, which put my back up right
away!)</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;">Through Megan, I told Kathleen to please talk directly
to me. Once I had her attention (although periodically she would
revert back to speaking to Megan about me in the third person), I explained
that my friend Samantha had recommended their company to me because she had
jumped with them before and she’d had such an incredible, positive experience.
Until I showed Kathleen a video of Samantha actually jumping with Steve,
though, she denied that another person in a wheelchair had ever used their
services. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;">In the end, Kathleen introduced me to Steve, and
the three of us discussed the situation at hand. Much to my dismay,
Steve was giving me the same pitiful, dismissive glances that I had been
getting from Kathleen since I had arrived. I knew that part of the problem was
that, once again, I was sitting in Megan’s sister’s old manual wheelchair, not
my own power wheelchair. To Kathleen and Steve, I probably looked
like a weak, pathetic creature instead of a strong, confident woman.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;">Kathleen and Steve had probably never met anyone
who had my type of Cerebral Palsy before either. And that was, for me, the crux
of the matter. If they were ignorant about the many, many, MANY
variations of Cerebral Palsy, how could they point at me and claim with the
utmost certainty that I would be unable to go tandem skydiving?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;">I was never given any type of test regarding my
strength and/or endurance. I would have appreciated a chance to demonstrate my
abilities! Instead they supposed that I wouldn’t be able to handle the free
fall because I was so delicate. Incredibly, they also implied probably had
osteoporosis too. (Osteoporosis? WTF! Where did that idea come
from?!) When I tried to explain how absolutely ridiculous that was,
because I’m constantly banging my arms and legs on tables and walls etc at home
without injuring myself, Kathleen and Steve simply sat there humouring
me. They didn’t think that I knew what I was talking
about. However, I guess I wore them down eventually because they
decided that if I got a doctor’s note saying I was fit and didn’t have osteoporosis
Steve would personally help me jump.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;">Bully for them!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;">I guess the worst experience I had at the Outside
Niagara Falls company was when Kathleen was trying her darnedest to dissuade me
from going tandem skydiving. At one point, she pulled out the
handbook of the Canadian Sports Parachute Association and read out to me that
according to the rules it states that skydiving companies like theirs have the
right to refuse clients based upon "mental or physical deformity.” I felt
like leaping out of the wheelchair and giving her a smack that she’d never
forget! The way she said those words with such calmness made
me want to vomit. How could she not understand how that ugly word <b><i>deformity</i></b> may
be hurtful to someone like me? That one single word carried the weight of a
thousand tons of systematic ableist abuse with it. Years upon years
of hurtful memories came flooding back into my mind.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;">Deformity. What a vague and yet an
extremely hurtful word. Is a large nose a deformity? Being too tall or too
short, overweight or underweight – could you call these things
deformities? Some may say that a mole upon a person’s face a
deformity. And yet, Marilyn Monroe had one and they called it a
beauty mark.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;">Is someone who is lacking in empathy for another person
somehow deformed?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;">However, I’m getting off track. A week before the
note from my doctor was due, Kathleen called me and told me that she and ten
instructors (who had never seen, met, or given me any kind of physical
evaluation) had decided not to give me the opportunity to jump. When
I asked why, she explained that she thought I was too delicate to go through
the free fall. Feeling utterly exasperated and fed up with repeating
the same arguments re my ability; agility; and endurance, I mentioned that at
least Skydiving Innisville was still consulting with a parachute company to
figure out a way to accommodate my special needs. Kathleen was upset
about this last comment and told me that she wasn’t willing to consider
spending $20,000 on such things. I told her that perhaps she should
read up on Bill 47: The Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act. The
section called “accessible customer service standard” may be of particular
interest to her.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;">My friend Jen recently shot a video of me in order
to show to both skydiving companies once and for all just how strong and agile
I actually am. It’s called Anne Abbott is Strong! My friends and family believe
in me because they know what I am capable of, while those skydiving people have
no idea! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;">I have fantastic news, though. At the end of September,
I found a company located in Cincinnati, Ohio, that encourages people with
disabilities to go skydiving. In fact, you have to get a doctor’s note to prove
you have a disability, and they’ll give you your first jump free!</span></div>

infection in one of my teeth and the antibiotics that the dentist gave me led
to me getting C-Difficile, a gut problem. Which is why I postponed my trip and
is why I haven’t written in awhile. You know me, though, dear readers, I’m not one
to give up! I’m going to go to Cincinnati to skydive in the spring. Woo-hoo!</span></div>

<i><br /></i>As a child, I used to watch my brother and his friends run and play, and I yearned to join them. I watched super heroes on TV I'd imagine myself fighting the baddies. In every spy flick or adventure film, I pictured myself in the high speed car chases and doing fast paced self-defense fights. I love the songs: <i>Born to Be Wild, Don't Stop Me Now, </i>and <i>Tubthumping.</i><br />
<br />
In my heart, I am a rebel badass. If only other people could keep up with my free-spirited zest for life....<br />
<i> </i><br />
Unfortunately, all of my life people have tried to underestimate my abilities. People have said things to me, like:<br />

<span data-offset-key="fdf1v-0-0">And most recently, on my birthday (August 12th), I decided to go skydiving in this small town of Innesville. I paid my money and explained that I was in a wheelchair. The company assured me that this wouldn't be a problem, they had a special instructor for people with disabilities. So, I went with my PSW/friend Megan. I was happy, excited, and fearless!</span></div>

Well, ummm ... even though we’ve had other people with disabilities dive with our company and don’t know anything about your abilities at all, we want to postpone your evaluation until next week so we can consult with the parachute company about people with CP. And, even when you do come in for your evaluation next week, I (the manager), the owner, and the expert instructor will all be there. Also, even though you signed a waiver saying you won’t sue us for injury or death, the owner has the last say because he still doesn’t want you to sue us.</span></span></i><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
On August 12<sup>th</sup> of this year (my birthday), I had
decided that I wanted to go tandem skydiving.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>When I hadI called to book my jump a couple of weeks beforehand, I had
informed the skydiving company (let’s call them Skydiving Innisville) that I
was in a wheelchair. They assured me that it was no problem and they had an
instructor who specialized in those types of jumps. They asked no further
questions regarding my disability, how it affected my body or any such thing.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
On the morning of my jump, Skydiving Innisville called me to
inform me that the specialty instructor (let’s call him Ross) had called in
sick, but that I could come in anyways, no problem. However, less than
five minutes after arriving, the manager (let’s call he Janice) immediately
escorted my PSW (Megan) and I into a separate room. There, Janice told
Megan and I that I wouldn’t be jumping that day, or at all! Janice explained
that as we came in, the instructor assigned to me (a replacement for Ross) said
he wouldn’t jump with me. As I tried to voice my objection to this
development, Janice told Megan that she couldn’t speak with me because she
couldn’t follow along with my communication board. (I point to letters, words,
and phrases to communicate.).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Janice didn’t
seem to understand the concept of a speech facilitator, someone who interprets what
a person who has a communication disability is trying to convey, much like how an
ASL interpreter assists a person who is Deaf.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
With Megan’s assistance I asked Janice to explain exactly why
she didn’t think I I could jump.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Her
response was that just by looking at me, she and the instructor (the one who
was replacing Ross, the expert in these types of jumps!) were 100% sure there
was no way I could do it. (During my entire time at Skydiving Inness, I
never met said instructor.) Irritatingly, Janice suggested that Megan could
still do the skydive and that they would “let” me ride in the plane and
watch. Megan and I were shocked by Janice’s insensitivity! Finally, Megan
said, “We’re actually jumping because today is Anne’s birthday and I would
never jump without her.” With assistance from Megan, I asked Janice to
provide me with any concrete reasons as to why they thought that couldn’t
handle the jump. Janice explained that when your body goes from free fall
to the parachute opening, you need a lot of upper body strength to handle it
and you need to be able to lift your legs for the landing. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I made it very clear to Janice that I have a lot of upper
body strength!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>(I am artist and use my
upper body all day long), and I’m capable of lifting my legs up if needed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Also, having my type of Cerebral Palsy is
doing a 24/7 workout, because whatever I do, I use so much concentration to do anything
that my muscles are always flexing. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I explained to her as well that although I’m
in a wheelchair and I am non-verbal, I can stand with assistance or holding
onto something. Janice still said no to the jump. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Megan pointed out that I was supposed to be jumping with Ross.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Couldn’t we simply call him and ask when I could
make another appointment to jump with him?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Janice complied and called him. Ross was very nice on the phone
and asked me three questions, which I answered to his satisfaction.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>1) How is my upper body strength?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I answered, very good! <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>2) How much do you weigh? I told him 100lbs,
to which he responded, “Oh, perfect! You’re so small!” 3) Can you lift your
knees to your chest?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I answered affirmatively.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>(When I was replying to his questions, I was
mimicking the actions - not to my full ability — to Megan, who was interpreting
for me on the phone.) Ross interjected that the other instructors of Skydiving
Innisville had limited specialty jump experience because the company always
asks him to do them. He told us he wasn’t surprised the replacement instructor
was uncomfortable jumping with me because he’s the one that handles these types
of jumps. Ross sounded confident he could do the jump with me, and we
compared schedules to book a date for me to jump when he and I were both
available. We agreed on Wednesday, August 14th. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
After we got off the phone with Ross, Janice piped up and said,
“Just because you booked an appointment doesn’t mean you can jump. There’s only
a 60/40% chance he’ll jump with you.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Despite her negative
comment, Megan and I still had some hope that Ross would give me a fair assessment
and let me jump. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So, Megan and I asked
Janice if we could watch the instructional videos and sign all the paperwork to
expedite things on Wednesday, as this process takes around an hour. She
complied, but said I HAD TO PAY up front if I wanted to do this, and added that
even if we did all that and paid for the jump, we still might not jump. This
company offers a birthday discount if you jump on your actual birthday. At this
point, I was very disappointed I wouldn’t be jumping that day and asked if I
would still get the birthday discount. She hemmed and hawed and said, “well, we
don’t normally let people have the discount if it isn’t their birthday but I
guessssss since you showed up on your birthday, we can make an exception.” </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We processed our paperwork and watched the videos. The
videos we watched expressly stated that NOBODY could sue the skydiving company
upon injury or death, and if someone did, all lawyer fees and damages would be
paid back to the skydiving company. Knowing that, I signed the
paperwork. While reading over the waivers, they reiterated that upon
injury or death, Skydiving Innisville COULD NOT be held liable in court.
Feeling devalued, unheard, and humiliated, Megan and I made the 1.5 hour drive back
to my place. Then Megan went home as well.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
Less than three hours later, Megan received a call from Janice
who told Megan that she didn’t know if I could pick up my phone myself. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Megan called me on the other line and
explained what happened and merged the calls.</div>

Janice started off the conversation by thanking me for
coming and apologizing that our day “didn’t go the way I wanted or expected it
to.” <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She then said that after I left the
owner (let’s call him John) came in and they “discussed my scenario.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Janice explained to John that she was
concerned about the possibility that I wouldn’t be able to support my own body
weight, and if that happened the outcome of my landing may not be
perfect. She said the owner then brought the concern of a hard parachute
which could give me a soft injury. She said it could happen to anyone and it
couldn’t be foreseen. She went on to say that one of her instructors got a soft
tissue injury in his back recently as a result of a hard parachute release. She
continued and said, “So, I’m very very sorry to say, because I know that both
of you are absolutely determined and you both want to enjoy skydiving, but I
think that we’re not willing to put you, Anne, at such risk, nor our
instructor.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
With my PSW Brittainy’s assistance, I pointed out to Janice that
everyone who comes to Skydiving Innisville signs the same waivers and takes the
same risks. So, to refuse me is discrimination. I wasn’t made of
glass! Megan interjected and said that a lot of people judge my ability on how
I look and that I’m probably in better physical shape than she is. She told
Janice that she was disappointed that the whole situation was being handled
with such abject discrimination. I pointed out that no one had made a
physical evaluation of me and that it should be MY decision and Ross’s decision
to say if I am capable of jumping. Janice said that when anyone in a
wheelchair books a skydiving appointment, they are told that there’s an
evaluation period. I told her I hadn’t been informed about any of this at
all! Megan pointed out (again) that since Ross was to be my instructor,
and he hadn’t physical evaluated me, that we were still in the evaluation
stage. </div>

<br />
It hurts. Grief actually <i>physically </i>hurts. Drawing from my own experience, I can say that my gut clenches up and there’s this terrible constant dull ache in my chest that feels like my heart is breaking. There are times when I feel like curling into the fetal position and bawling my eyes out. Sometimes when I’m alone or with a good friend who understands, I do just that. Mostly, though, I wear a mask out in public to hide the pain.<br />
<br />
For me, grief is like a Jack in the Box. One day, I'll be feeling fine, feeling as if my life is somehow on course, and then - <b>Pop Goes the Weasel! </b>Some little thing will trigger me: a place, a song, or a smell. The tears start to flow and my mind starts to reel. Images tumble around in my head - memories of one person I've lost ... two people ... three .... Over the years, I've lost so many people I love. My grief snowballs and becomes massive until I let myself cry it all out. There are days when I'm busy and happy, and I'm surrounded by people I adore. And then, suddenly, once again - <b>Pop Goes the Weasel!</b> Sometimes, when I'm faced with any kind feelings of joy or accomplishment, I am immediately overwhelmed by guilt and regret. How can I be happy without the people who loved and supported me, and who were there from the very beginning? I know that this reasoning is faulty and that the people who have passed away would want me to be happy, but tell that to the ache in my heart. In recent years, my grieving process has gotten somewhat better, but that mean old weasel still keeps popping up occasionally, fucking with my mind and emotions.<br />
<br />
Why am I writing this now? Well, when my friend Leon died recently, and that damned weasel kept popping up, most of my friends and family were supportive and sensitive upon hearing the sad news. They said things like: <i>Oh, I'm so sorry to hear that, Anne. I know how much Leon meant to you. If you need to talk, I'm always here for you.</i><br />
<br />
<i> </i>That's fine. That's all you need to say. Sympathy and support - that's all!<br />
<br />
There were some insensitive things said and done, though. Sure, I get it. Not everybody has known loss or the pain of grief. I understand that, I get it, I really do. And yet, I feel like some people just don't think before they speak. Platitudes are only just bearable, things like: <i> Well, at least you have your memories, </i>or <i>Don't worry, sweetie, you'll feel better soon ....</i> Yeah, right. But people say worse things, like: <i>Well, everybody dies, you know. Everybody dies.</i><br /><i></i><br />
<br />
I think the worst thing for me, though, was when I told a friend of mine that Leon had bone cancer. Her response was, "That doesn't sound good!" and to Google the life expectancy of people with bone cancer. I didn't want to her this information, hell, I was barely coping with the fact that Leon was sick. I had lost so many friends and family members already, I just wanted some emotional support. This may sound ridiculous, because it even seemed ridiculous to me at the time, but I actually hid in my own bathroom until my friend left.<br />
<br />
In closing, I just want to sy, if you know someone who is grieving, try to be sensitive to their feelings, and try to put yourself in their shoes.<br />
<br />
Grief hurts, man. Grief hurts like a fucking bitch. <br />

<span style="font-size: 12pt;">I just found out that my dear friend Leon Marr died the other night from complications of bone cancer. Leon was one of my closest friends, and he always called me his best friend. Every Saturday he would come to see me at the St. Lawrence Market. And every week he’d drop by to say hi to me and the cats. When I was in the hospital with pneumonia, Leon visited me every day. We were friends for 16 years!</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 13.8px;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">He loved old movies, cats, and more than an occasional toke. If you look him up on IMDB, you’ll see that he was a filmmaker - a brilliant one at that!</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">It would really make Leon and I happy if you checked out “Dancing in the Dark “ and “Second Time Around.”</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Thank you.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 13.8px;">

<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Rest In Peace, my old friend....</span></div>
