Today is tax day. Im feeling a bit down because it's raining today. Rain means I can not use my Xootr Roma kick scooter to get down to the lightrail station. I do not like to use MTA buses in the morning because they have a tendency to be unpredictable. Sometimes they arrive early, sometimes late. This is fine and dandy if you need to catch the bus to go to one place. But I am catching the bus

Today, I decided to start doing more updates on my blog. The reason I have not blogged since last summer is because I was and still am trying to deal with my fathers death. My mother died several years ago. I can not recall the exact year she died. The only thing I can recall is that after she died I could not bring and still can not bring myself to watch the TV show Friends. The reason being is

TRYING TO CHEER MYSELF UPLast evening in an attempt to cheer myself up I watched Dr. Horrible’s Sing Along Blog. It is an internet movie writen and directed by Joss Whedon who did Firefly, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and Angel. He is amongst my favourite Hollywood writers. My others are the usual suspects that geeky, nerdy people like myself are into, Kevin Smith, Russel T. Davies, and Steve

MORE DEATH IN THE FAMILYA couple of days ago my cousin Grafton passed away. He had recently had hip replacement surgery that soon developed into pneumonia. That makes three family members dead in one year, my father, Aunt Josephine, and now Cousin Grafton. I have a possibly crazy theory. It seems that every year that a Batman movie comes out a member of my family dies. The only exception I

MORNING COMMUTE:This morning I am running late. I misplaced my glasses and could not find them in their usual spot. I ending up finding them in my lunch bag while I was on the light rail train heading into work. How did they get there? For now on I will try to get to work at my usual time of 7 instead of my new start time of 7:30. Im starting to feeling too anxious and like crying. I almost

MORNING COMMUTE:This morning I am a little late for work. I would have been on time if the MTA supervisor had made the man who was driving the shuttle bus drive us to our destination but instead he let him go. I do not know why. He just let him drive right on by after he dropped off passengers. The driver gave the standard issue lie that there was another bus behind him. I wonder if this fool

SATURDAYI walked down to the laundromat at West Side Shopping Center. Oddly, I thought it would be very far but it was only four thousand steps. I made it home a little after 6pm. Apparently Sudsville is open 24 hours. It is associated with the one on Linden Avenue that I loved so much when I lived in that part of town. The main reason I loved the Sudsville on Linden Avenue was that you

4th of JULY Today, I volunteered to do overtime to get my mind off things. Unfortunately, I did not realise until I got to the light rail stop and I was waiting for an extremely long time that service did not start until 10pm. This was because it was Independence Day thus all MTA services would be running on a Sunday schedule. So I had to take three buses to get to work. The three buses were

OVERTIME and FEELING SAD Today at work I did overtime. I felt sad. It was the first time in weeks that I have done it. I would normally miss out because after work I would visit my father to make sure he was ok in the nursing home or hospital. Now after work I have no where to go..... Its like I no longer have a purpose in life.

SATURDAYIts the day after Dad’s funeral. Right now I am afraid of regaining all the weight I lost. I decided to walk more than 10k on the weekends. I walked all the way from my house to Shoppers Food Warehouse near Mondawmin Mall. The best route to travel is straight up Pennsylvania Avenue. Ironically enough, this places me right in my old childhood neighborhood. I lived there from birth to

MORNING COMMUTEToday I am late again for work. I had my annual review. It was not as bad as I thought it would be. My supervisor suggested changing my start time. I agreed and now the time I have been habitually coming in is my new start time. So now I work from 7:30 to 4:00. It works for me. I feel a bit relieved. MEETING AT THE FUNERAL HOMEAfter work we had a family meeting at the

I went back to work. I was late as per usual. A lot of people came up to me and offered their condolences. I had no idea that any even cared. Most of the time I feel invisible like a non entity. I was truly touched. I felt like crying.

DAY OFFDespite my father’s recent death I had previously scheduled today off months ago. So this was all just a weird alignment of fate. I decided to go to my AM doctors appointment. I cancelled my PM dentists appointment on Friday because I was unsure of when the funeral would be scheduled. After my doctor’s appointment I went over to Eastpoint Mall where I bought an outfit for the funeral as

SUNDAYI did not do anything today but tried to relax and take things easy. I went to buy more things for the funeral like underwear in my new dress size, stockings as well as a flapper for my toilet. The flapper is all degraded looking and needs to be replaced.

THE AFTERMATHI took the day off because of my father’s death. I had to go to March’s Funeral Home to help arraign the funeral service. My niece Lisa drove me there. Uncle Leon met us there. He showed up in the middle of the meeting with the funeral director. He scared her as well as us. Because all of a sudden the door just became ajar and there he was. Since we did not have much money we

ANOTHER SAD DAYAfter work I visited my father at Bon Secour Hospital. Lisa and her daughter Shay had visited him earlier. She said he had asked about Blessing. Blessing is my other niece Alexis’ daughter. Ironically, Blessing was born on my fathers birthday. After asking about Blessing, Lisa said my father started rambling on incoherently. Lisa left because she did not want to upset Shay

A VERY SAD DAYI took the day off of work. I mostly cried all day. I went back to the hospital to finalize the decision that my father had made ironically enough on Father’s Day. My father would be taken off all the machinery and moved to room where he would receive pain management treatment. I cried a lot in the hospital today. Im sure I cried so much that I probably worried my Uncle Leon who

A DAY OF ENDLESS TEARSI cried a lot this morning at work. I cried trying to talk to the insurance people as to why they decided not to renew my father’s life insurance policy. I had told them many times that the reason he missed payments was because he was sick in the hospital. They decided to cancel him for those very reasons! I thought life insurance was not contingent on your health like

MORNING COMMUTE:Late this morning. Due to hold ups with the light rail trains. I saw Homeland Security officer going through and around light rail trail with a dog. I wonder if they got a threat that someone was going to blow up a light rail train this morning so they had to inspect some trains with what I suspect was a bomb sniffing dog.

ANOTHER SAD DAYToday, I feel very sad. I just got a letter saying my fathers life insurance company has decided to cancel his policy. The reason they cited were his illnesses. I also had to go to a plan of care meeting for my father. They essentially told me he was not doing to good. He is at end stage. They wanted to know if I wanted to continue on with his treatment or send him into

ME, DAD, CARLOS & CARLEENThis morning I took a bus down to Dundalk to pick up my brother to see Dad. I had to do this because he had no money to see Dad. On the way over I thought it would be a great idea if we went over Carleens house to pick her up and all three of us could see him one last time. Before we left from my sisters house I was not sure if she would be able to get through it.

MY FATHER IS FADING AWAYI got a phone call last night from my niece about my father. She said the nursing home had called them to tell them that my father has not been eating and at the rate he is going he might not survive long. They are giving him nutrition shakes. They said it looks as though he is giving up. Of course this scared me. I went to Kohls to get my mind off the inevitable. They

He was having seizures. Am I the only reason he is still

MORNING COMMUTE:The train this morning is short. It has been short all this week. The train also broke down and we had to wait for another train at the Timonium station. This made me late. This evening I have to go over my sister’s house to pay the mortgage. I could not pay it online yesterday because the money had not processed into my fathers account until this morning. Now I have to find

The big one being the mortgage and gas and electric which is over a thousand dollars. This is a big day for me. The lions share of scary bills are scheduled to be paid today.WHAT IM WEARING: Today I have on

SUNDAY Today, I missed Church. I feel sad because I missed one of my favourite services, Springfest. By the time I was in the vicinty of Church if I had gone in I would have been 40 minutes late. The latest I am willing to show up is 35minutes. So to make up time before visiting hours started for Dad I went to Druid Hill Park and walked around the Reservoir twice in my shiny black leather

MORNING COMMUTE:When I got to the light rail station my heart began to fill with anxiety as I immediately noticed that there was an usually large amount of people at the station. I counted 21 people waiting for the Northbound train. All of these people could only mean one thing, the previous train was late. When my train finally showed up I was horrified to find that it was one car short.

MORNING COMMUTE This morning I am on time for work. I thought I would be late. I could not find my badge. So I had to hunt around my apartment to find it. I like this new light rail driver the one from last fall would either arrive extremely early or on time. Nine out of ten times they would arrive earlier than the posted MTA schedule which caused me nothing but constant vexation. This new

SATURDAYThis morning I woke up around 8am. Just as I predicted I would go to sleep in daylight and wake up in daylight. I did not feel disoriented when I awoke. The only time I felt disoriented was when my sister called me at 11pm last night. Later in the day I got dad to sign the power of attorney document. He was in dialysis, the notary was also a social worker from the hospital. Afterwards

My cousins Darlene, Lawanna and Michelle were there. Learned that Lawanna has spinal problems. I found out when I noticed that she was walking with a cane. I had no idea so I gave her the one

Saturday I went to the laundromat. It is still closed so I had to go to the one in my old neighborhood. It is a total of 35 minutes in one direction. I was going to go to visit Future Care Sandtown Winchester afterwards but I had promised my grand niece Adrianna I would be over there today with chicken so I decided to head over to KFC then over my sisters house with the chicken. I figured

GETTING THINGS TOGETHERI have the next two days off. Today I looked around to see if I could get a copy of my fathers birth certificate. I went to Vitalcheck.com it was quicker than going to social security. I would have had to have waited in line for a long time and would not have gotten it until 2 weeks later. Ordering online I would still have to wait two weeks but have skipped the waiting

WORRIED ABOUT DADI could barely fall asleep last night I was sick with worry that my father might be a victim of credit fraud. I shot off an email to both my nieces to see what they think I should do. In the meantime all I can do is wait for a copy of his credit report to come in the mail. I wanted to get his check cashed but now can not with his wallet stolen. He has bills piling up left

The guest minister I believe clearly had more of a Christian than general purpose Unitarian bent to his sermon than I am used to. I hate to admit it but I also felt like getting up and walking out during his service. Also today was the Baltimore St. Patricks Day

GAIL’s FRIDAY MUSIC VIDEOFADE to GREY by VISAGEToday’s musical selection off of my vast iPod/iTunes/cd collection is Fade to Grey by Visage. What can I say Im a child of the 80’s! I love keyboard centric music. Heck, I play the keyboard. I also love the freakishly over the top look of men in makeup. MORNING COMMUTE:Today I am on time. The bus arrived at its scheduled time as did the train.TV

MORNING COMMUTE:The train was one car short. Im still late this morning but not a whole hour late. I corrected the problem and moved my clocks two hours ahead of time. I also set the alarm clock and went to bed early.NEW YORK GOVERNOR SPITZER RESIGNSGovernor Spitzer of New York resigns because of his involvement in a prostitution ring.

MORNING COMMUTE:Im currently feeling shell shocked. It appears I got up late and was doing everything an hour late. I did not realize anything was off until I got to the light rail station and noticed it was over run with teenagers. Then I looked at my watch and was horrified to realize I had been running an hour late the entire morning! It did not begin to register until that point. I hate

MORNING COMMUTE:This morning I am deeply perturbed. I did everything on time, heck early. I left out a good ten minutes early yet the bus was late. I hate the constant unknown variable of the bus driver. Sure, the schedule says it arrives at 6:04 but sometimes it shows up early or in the case of today five minutes late. When it does this it of course has the effect of making me late when I

MY LAUNDROMAT IS GONE!I started the morning by going to the laundromat. Was horrified to find that Dirt Busters, my neighborhood laundromat had a sign in the window that said closed until further notice. This meant I would have to find another place to wash my clothes. I have rarely ventured around the neighborhood so I have no idea where the closest laundromat is. The only thing I could

SATURDAY.......WORK DAYToday, I did Saturday overtime at work. Afterwards I visited Dad. I bought Lorna Doone cookies with me. Lorna Doone’s are one of his favourite cookies. His other favourite are graham crackers. Soon after I left I went over to see my sister Carleen. I came over with KFC chicken. She was the only one home. Everyone had left to go to a birthday party.WALKING LOG Note:

GAIL’s FRIDAY MUSIC VIDEOOver You by Roxy MusicToday’s video is another song directly off my iPod/iTunes list. It is Over You by Roxy Music. I have absolutely adored this song for well over twenty years. It makes me feel Oh So Happy! I also adore the lead singer of Roxy Music, Bryan Ferry solo and with the group. He looked absolutely sexy and suave back in the day. He still looks Fantastic.

MORNING COMMUTE:Im extremely late for work this morning. I would have been earlier if it was not for the fact I woke up late. I woke up fifteen minutes before the time I normally leave out. Then I walked instead of waited for the bus I would have been about 20 minutes late if it was not for the cop car that decided to half park at a corner. It was hard to say if he was about to drive off. He

MORNING COMMUTE:I am absolutely devastated. It appears my plan that has been working great has finally unraveled. I forgot about the unknown variable known as the bus/light rail driver. Yep, you guessed it one of them was not running according to the posted MTA schedule. This time the train pulled off earlier than it was scheduled to. The bus was a little late but not by too much. As I was

MORNING COMMUTE:It looks like Im going to be on time this morning. I washed and put out my clothes the night before. I did not do that yesterday which was why I was late. I think the generic brand of coffee I bought is not as strong as the name brand coffee. I keep nodding off to sleep on the light rail. With the name brand coffee this rarely happened. Maybe the generic brand got switched

SUNDAY CHURCH DAYThis morning I went to Church. The sermon today was on A. Powell Davies. He was a prominent activist who was also a minister at All Souls Unitarian Church in DC during the 40s and 50s. It was a sermon that someone bid on during our annual Church auction. You can make a bid for the sermon of your choice to be done by our ministers and someone made a bid and they had to do a

SATURDAY.....PLAY DAYThis afternoon I went to Center Stage to see Tom Stoppard’s Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead. I got there a little earlier than usual. I found it interesting that they cast two African American actors in the part as Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. It gave it a deeper meaning. Then again maybe it was just me... While at the play I saw a couple of people from Church. I

MORNING COMMUTE:Im late this morning. I was too exhausted last night to do anything. I visited my father last night. He’s doing super. I think I figured out why he is at the hospital he is at. It appears that his doctor at the nursing home works there. I knew there was something familiar about his name! I used to work at Maryland General Hospital as a Medical Technologist and would get

MORNING COMMUTE:It is extremely cold outside this morning. The simple tactic I employed to be on time for work appears to still be working. The simple tactic is to bathe and iron my clothes the night before as oppossed to during the morning. Again the #20 driver was a woman who looks like Pearl Bailey with a small afro. When I got to the light rail station at 6:08 I was feeling apprehensive.

MORNING COMMUTE:Despite going to bed later than usual it looks like I will be on time for work two days in row. Yesterday, the light rail driver that stalled at each stop made me just a couple of minutes late. The bus driver today of the #20 bus kind of reminded me of Pearl Bailey with a mid sized teeny weeny afro. The Republican nominee for city council in my district got on the bus. He

SUNDAYToday I missed Church. Instead I visited my sister and bought over KFC and played with my grand niece, Shay. As I was half way up the street heading home from there house I realized that I left my handbag at there house so I had to turn back and retrieve it. Sadly, I missed my bus and had to wait an hour to catch the next one. I had intended to be downtown to visit my father around 6pm.

SATURDAYI was supposed to have come into work this morning but I overslept. I ended up visiting both my sister over her house and my father at the rehab/nursing home. While visiting my father I told him that the doctors told Alexis that they are thinking about releasing him in eight days. It all depends on how he progresses. I was surprised that they had not bothered to tell him. LATHCHINAlso

MORNING COMMUTE:,Br>It actually was snowing this morning. The weathermen are calling for an ice storm later in the day. A lot of people called out from work. I came in because it did not look too bad. Besides, I plan on leaving before the ice storm started.

MORNING COMMUTE:I felt extremely apprehensive about leaving out this morning. Last night it was snowing and as I came in the steps were covered with a sheet of ice. This of course freaked me out what with falling down the icy steps last week. So I salted them down using up all my table salt. The snow was not sticking to anything on the sidewalks just our marble steps. I did not want to have

In the meantime his brother, Rauol, is still in charge. When I was visiting my father today and told him about the news he seemed underwhelmed about the whole thing.
