HANDICAPPED PARKING

IT WAS MY ANNIVERSARY. THERE ISN'T MUCH I CAN DO, UNFORTUNATELY, SO WE WENT WINDOW SHOPPING AT A RIDICULOUSLY BUSY MALL.

BUT 2 GO, WE HAD 2 PARK. WE EVENTUALLY FOUND A PLACE, BUT IT WASN'T EASY. I WASN'T SURE WHICH OFFENCE BOTHERED ME MORE: A MOTORCYCLE PARKED ON THE LINES 4 HANDICAPPED PARKING (SARCASTIC: "HELLO"â€”THOSE R THERE 4 A REASON, & I NEED THEM 4 A RAMP 2 GET OUT), OR A MOTORCYCLE THAT ACTUALLY PARKED IN HANDICAPPED PARKING (BET HE/SHE ISN'T HANDICAPPED, OR CAN AT LEAST WALK).

I MADE THIS PLEA B4, & I'LL SAY IT AGAINl 4 THE SAKE OF THOSE WHO CAN'T GET OUT IF WE DON'T HAVE THOSE HANDICAPPED PARKING SPOTS, DON'T PARK THERE, ESP. IF U CAN DO WHAT WE WISH WE COULD DO: WALK. & IF U PARK BY HANDICAPPED PARKING, CAREFUL NOT 2 PARK ON THE LINES â€“MANY R ALREADY 2 THIN.

TRIP

I AM ON A TRIP, DUE 2 A FUNERAL, SO JUST A NOTE THAT IT MAY BE A WHILE B4 I POST AGAIN.

TIGER

WE GOT A NEW FAM. MEMBER–A CAT, “TIGER.” SURPRISINGLY, THE CAT ISN’T SCARED OF ME & LOVES ME, SINCE I DON’T MOVE, IF HE’S TIRED. HE LOVES 2 SIT IN MY LAP, UNDER MY COMP. TABLE. OTHERWISE, HE’S CURIOUS & FASCINATED BY TV..

I LOVE CATS, BUT OPTED 4 A DOG B4 MY STROKE, SINCE BABIES & CATS RARELY MIX. I WASN’T EXCITED ABOUT GETTING A CAT, THOUGH, BECAUSE I HATED IF R DOG BLOCKED ME, & I COULDN’T MOVE.

I’M A SOFTIE, THOUGH. HE’S SO CUTE & LITTLE! HIS INSISTENT “MEOWS” SHOULD ANNOY ME, BUT MELT MY HEART! GUESS, IN A WAY, HE’S MY BABY. (BUT HE’S REALLY JESS’ BABY, & THEY R SO CUTE 2GETHER!) I HATE LOCKING UP THE CAT–I SOOO UNDERSTAND HIS CRIES OF BEING UNABLE 2 LEAVE SOMEWHERE & WANTING SOME1.

I KNOW THERE WAS AN ARTICLE OF A WOMAN WHO WAS LOCKED-IN & GAVE BIRTH. I DON’T KNOW HOW SHE TOLERATES HEARING THE BABY CRY–IT’D TEAR ME UP INSIDE! WE JUST HAVE A CAT & IT’S HARD 2 HEAR HIM CRY!

BET MY CONTACT W/TIGER (LUCKILY, THERE’S A WORD SIGN) IS SEVERELY LIMITED THOUGH, THROUGH NO1’S FAULT…

TRUNK OR TREAT

HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYONE!

AT TRUNK OR TREAT/ HALLOWEEN WE WERE:

ME: SANDRA BULLOCK/MISS CONGENIALITY
MARK: JESSE JAMES (SANDRA BULLOCK'S MAN)
(FEW KNEW WHAT MARK & I WERE, & IF THEY THOUGHT “BEAUTY PAGEANT CONTESTANT” OR “PRINCESS” WE DEFINITELY DIDN’T APPEAR AS A COUPLE AT 1ST GLANCE!)

ZACH–ROBBER
JESS– PIRATE PRINCESS
FIAâ€”CINDERELLA

I HAVE 3 JOKES FOR U:

WHY DIDN’T THE SKELETON GO TO THE PARTY?
HE HAD NO BODY TO GO WITH!

WHY DID THE SKELETON NOT CROSS THE ROAD?
HE HAD NO GUTS!

WHAT DO GHOSTS PUT IN THEIR BRAS?
BOO-BIES!

CONFERENCE IN CLEVELAND

I “SPOKE” (MARK TRANSLATED MY ASL) RECENTLY AT A NEURO. DOCTOR’S CONFERENCE IN OHIO. IT WENT REALLY WELL & I'LL "SPEAK" AGAIN IN FEB. SOMEWHERE ELSE 4 A NATIONAL CONFERENCE 4 THE AMERICAN STROKE ASSOCIATION. THESE R PICS FROM ITâ€”I WAS THE ONLY ONE "SPOKE," BUT I MET ANOTHER GIRL, CRISSY (& HER FAMILY), WHO HAD THE SAME DOCTOR ALMOST 2 YRS. AGO & IS ALSO LOCKED-IN.

UPON RETURNING, ODDLY, MY DOUBLE VISION WAS WORSE, FROM NOT FOCUSING MY EYES HARD 2 READ. IT CAN STILL BE TRICKY 2 READ AT TIMES, BUT MY EYES HAVE MOSTLY ADJUSTED 2 THEIR "OLD WAYS."
