I’m getting better with driving. My mentor and I are adapting to each other and I was able to talk about how some of her nerves bled to me. I still need to improve with turns but I think I’m getting better, knowing how much to turn the wheel to get it mostly right. I try to explain at times why I think I screw up but she can think they’re excuses. Don’t know if that’s true but I hope I can continue to improve communicating with her. I still need to learn to not drift while driving. Unfortunately, she got sick so after Tuesday, she likely won’t come for the rest of the week, so I watch an hour and a half of driving tutorials each day she’s not here.

That’s all for now. Free Palestine and all those in Israel’s torture prisons. May Trump and his ilk fail and be charged for their crimes. Until the eve of Halloween, see you!

The transition to my new mentor was smooth. No sooner did I have my last session with the previous mentor did I hear I’ll be meeting my current 1. We’ve been practicing driving for a couple weeks, though still getting used to each other. She’s far more cautious, wishing I go under the speed limit for our safety. It admittedly led to me feeling stressed and annoyed, like all my progress was being reverted via different rules. Still, she says I’m improving and when I wanted to see a film last Tuesday (More on that later), she was willing to take me. She also mentioned she’s financially stable, so she likely won’t need to leave to find a better paying job and said she could wait out whenever I get sick for a month and a half. We discussed learning a couple other things like using a checkbook, which my mom has taught me very occasionally. Hopefully it’s a relationship that’ll last a while.

I ran into some struggles with mail. I decided to indulge myself and buy candy off Ebay. I was a bit concerned when it took a while to ship, to the point I ordered a second batch from another buyer. But then the first batch finally shipped and I waited with anticipation, not minding the second batch was unavailable and getting a refund. The trouble began when the first batch was announced to have arrived a couple Fridays ago, where it was nowhere to be found. I had to wait at least a day because it might be delayed. When I went to my town’s post office the following Monday, Mom and I learned it apparently got sent to the wrong address, though they didn’t give me what address it was. I informed the seller asking for at least a partial refund but they don’t seem interested in doing that, insisting after when I asked Ebay for help that it was sent as desired. Annoying but don’t feel like pressing it too much. My actual address was part of the order. Maybe someone in stress or a hurry mixed it up with another item. My dad wants that postal worker fired but that’s too much work and especially with the postal service under attack from the right, I don’t want to contribute to that even in a small way.

My third mentor barely lasted a couple weeks before he got a job opportunity and had to leave. He did help a lot with driving lessons but it was frustrating he couldn’t stay either. The person who oversaw my mentors has taken a demotion to be my mentor personally but last week I learned she was leaving too. She understandably doesn’t want to talk about the potential troubles at work and hints at a NDA so though curious I won’t press her. She has been pretty helpful with driving yesterday. She even me earlier to ask if we can practice driving tomorrow which despite being a Saturday I accepted. For now, I’ll take things a day at a time. I’m thankful my learner’s permit is good for 2 years, so I can take my time.

Earlier in the month, I drove a couple more time with my third mentor in parking lots before suggested I could try residential neighborhoods next. When we found he wouldn’t be returning, Mom decided to accompany me for an hour of neighborhood driving. I was surprised to find it not that difficult. I went down roads I was curious about, though got myself lost a few times. She was nervous but we came back fine. On another day, Dad had me drive to teach me to keep the vehicle steady and not be close to the curb. After driving through a few neighborhoods, he had go on a forested main road with lots of turns at faster speeds. I admittedly found it stressful. He kept it at half an hour because he was also stressed, though assured I was making progress. I think I was pushed too soon into going on the main roads. I have an article bookmarked that lays out the areas to start driving as you get more comfortable and we skipped the neighborhood main roads with traffic lights. Maybe I’ll focus on those for a bit instead.

That’s it for this month. Down with the Trump government and may all their harmful policies be reversed. May Palestinians inside Israel’s torture prisons be freed and apartheid fall. Until the end of August, see you!

So, I lost another mentor. After having surgery, his back issues apparently became permanent, so he had to leave. Hopefully he has a better life. Fortunately, another mentor was found and I’ll start with him today. I hope he’ll last more than a few months and this doesn’t become a pattern. The homecare agency is also looking into getting me into an 8 hour driving school, which’s required for me to get a license. Mom discovered the driving schools near town were quite expensive, which I understand somewhat since they’re private but that does price out people with not enough resources in a car-centric society. On the day I heard my second mentor wasn’t returning, Mom decided to give me an hour of driving practice in a slightly farther parking lot. It was smaller than the nearby school parking lot I practiced in 2 times on weekend but I made do with improving my turns and keeping to the right side of lanes. With school out for the summer, that means more opportunities to practice driving.

That’s all for now. I had a teeth cleaning last Wednesday and was glad the dentist checked my teeth after and saw no problems. Free Palestine and those held in Israel’s torture prisons. May Trump and his ilk fail utterly. Until next time, see you.

I got my driving learner’s permit. After doing the DMV app practice tests at least once a day, my new mentor helped get me to the nearest DMV and the wait was a bit long until I got inside. I went through various checks for my papers, my vision which made it clear I needed glasses to drive, and at last the 25 Question test. I was surprised some questions weren’t on the practice tests. I did my best guesses and through chance passed by the skin of my teeth. My mentor helped a bit with familiarizing myself with the car. Unfortunately, then he had car and health issues that kept him away the rest of May, though he said he could return in the second week of June. In the meantime, I’ve been reading my state’s driver manual 3 times over the last few weeks, even reading the parts that don’t apply to me. I managed to drive the family vehicle a few Sundays back at a nearby school parking lot for an hour with Dad as the instructor. I did find it nerve-wracking, since the pedals were very sensitive and feeling like I was handling a giant weapon. He told me to slow down and not turn the wheel so hard when it seemed like I needed to turn the wheel hard in order to do a full turn. I’m getting assurances it’ll get easier with more practice but with the family car needing to be used often and my parents being tired or busy, I’ll probably have to wait for more on-hands driving when my mentor hopefully returns.

I met my new mentor yesterday. At first my old mentor seemed to change her mind and indicate she was coming back but as the date approached, she called her boss and indicated I was too far from her new part time job. I thought about modifying previous month’s entry but I’m glad I didn’t, since the flip flop would only have made things confusing. I’ve resumed studying for my driving test and moved my DMV appointment to next week since that’s when I wanted to start with him. Learning to drive’s a priority, though I will get around to studying for the transcribing tests so I could work for the transcribing website. In light of that, I’ll adjust my sleep schedule again so I have an extra hour to do my hobbies (and get red gels to change the color of my new reading light since I suspect its bright white glow has messed with my sleeping patterns).

I switched the subjects of my copying exercise. To remind everyone, I copy a story by hand for 20 min before I start writing so it could influence my writing style. On the weekends, I copy the dialogue for a TV show and on weekdays, I copy a well-written fanfic. I switched it around doing the TV show copying exercise for 3 weekday weeks and I liked how it influenced my dialogue. I did this initially to make up for some missed writing days. It might be a coincidence but I noted I found more things to edit for my weekend draft 4 story after I accompanied it with the copy exercise with the fanfic. I might alternate going forward, though I want to get used to the usual routine first.

After 2 months, I’ve finally recovered from my persistent cough. It seems I needed 2 or 3 rounds of prednisone with a cough suppressant in between before it abated. The antibiotics had no effect whatsoever. Judging from meetings with my lung doctor, it appears this prednisone regiment was how my last couple coughing episodes were resolved. At least I restarted my writing routine and got more or less back on schedule. I believe I’ll keep going to bed an hour early though, since I feel much less sleep deprived that way, especially sharing a room with a snoring brother who’s a literal dead weight for a couple hours and shows not much interest in addressing the problem. I’ll start catching up on the missed writing days tomorrow, every Wednesday and every other Tuesday. If and when I catch up, I might consider extending my weekday writing to 4 hours a day, since I desire to be published and if I can, I should be writing more to get to my goal sooner.

In the meantime, my job search and mentor program are on hold. Unfortunately, my current mentor won’t be returning and during my half year meeting earlier this month, I consented to finding a backup. I wish she was honest she wouldn’t come back when I called her but oh well. Hopefully she has a good life. I got chided for contacting her and won’t do that again. I delayed my DMV appointment again and also my transcribing tests. Like I said before, I’m thinking of working 2 hours with transcribing per day, so I can have some income while concentrating on my writing. Mom has offered to help me learn to drive but I wonder when my new mentor arrives if I could learn to drive with them as well. I’ll see how that shakes up.

A month later and I’m still sick. I’m now in the cough variant asthma phase where I have a dry cough that powers itself endlessly. After a round of prednisone didn’t help, I got the antibiotic amonxicillin last Friday. I finished the regiment today and I haven’t improved much. These are new antibiotics to what I’ve taken the last times I’ve been sick, since my lung doctor doesn’t want to use the same 1s too much in case they no longer become effective. I’ll have to meet my lung doctor again in person to see what next to do. I hope I don’t have to deal with another month of this, though that has happened in the past.

At the moment, my writing is on pause and I haven’t met with my mentor in over a month. It was ill-timing, since a transcribing company I applied for requested an interview but I’m too sick to meet them even virtually. Also I can’t do the tests to apply for another transcribing company with part of me fighting a cold. My DMV test has been put off until April. I also heard rumors that my mentor might be leaving for another job elsewhere, which was fortunately cleared up when I emailed her and she said she needed to adjust our schedule for a month of training for her other part-time job. Her supervisor called to clarify she’ll need a month off to do that, but I can work with that. At least I won’t have to start all over again so soon after meet her. I can use March to focus on recovering while getting back to my writing routine.

Life is moving a bit fast. With my mentor, I decided to shift my focus and try out a remote job from a website. I took a training PowerPoint and am preparing for a couple exam. At least I would have my own hours and not have to divert the family’s single car to a particular location. My mentor has encouraged I call the jobs I apply to once a week to get an update on my applications. It’s just that most only now are looking through the applications and it’s hard to track down the right extension to call for some of these companies. I’m getting the hang of it but I hope the remote work works out. I’m scheduling a DMV knowledge test to begin the process of getting my learner’s permit and then driver’s license. I’m been taking the DMV app tests for over a month and I’m getting perfect or mostly perfect scores on all of them. I originally planned to do the test last Thursday but I didn’t read I had to do an online safety course and some documents had to be filled out. I completed later that day. I’ll go Tuesday and hopefully I haven’t missed anything else to do. I’m getting sick, so hopefully that won’t delay things too. It’s a slow process but I’ll take it a step at a time.

The snow was heavy this week. I helped Dad for a 50 minute shift to shovel the driveway Sunday with my mask on. I rarely shoveled with him, so I had to relearn while the snow was falling down. I was using an uncomfortable hold for the shovel with my left hand on the end grip since I’m a lefty (In more than 1 sense of the term) and my right down the blade. When I switched holds, it became much easier. By the end, I had trouble breathing and only after getting back inside did I realize my mask has become soaked from the snow downpour. I replaced it but I surmise that might be an issue waiting for me if in future snow events. The extreme amount of snow is another sign of global warming, where weather events like snow happen less often but they drop the same if not more amount of snow within a shorter time period.Fortunately, we didn’t lose power.

My brother and I have finally settled into the new job coaching service. Three days a week, we’ll have separate mentors visit us to help find jobs and coach us how to do interviews. I had been using the term helper for the person who had that role but I learned the term mentor is more accurate. Last Tuesday since she was exposed to covid we talked virtually applying to half a dozen jobs and improving answers to common interview questions. Despite Christmas Eve and New Years Eve being sort-of holidays, we still meet on the former and will meet tomorrow on the latter. I thought I was a bit distracted during our first meeting but the mentor said I did wonderfully. I hope I can continue to meet those expectations and actually be able to find and hold a job, though it means I’ll have to drop some of my hobbies. She also determined I could and should learn to drive so I’ve been taking multiple choice and similar tests once a day. Hopefully all these new tasks won’t drain my energy for writing. I don’t know if I’ll continue socializing in my usual haunts but I’ll see as I get used to this new routine.

I have a new laptop. After a virtual meeting kept slowing and the audio from my end struggled to reach the other parties, it was suggested from the job agency my older brother and I get new computers. I was unsure since it seemed to be more due to my browser but I went along since we got provided funds for assistive technology. With dad’s help, I picked a laptop and it got shipped here. When it at last arrived a couple weeks ago, I decided to transfer my data on a Friday seeing there was a program to do such a thing. It barely worked and I had to try various other methods which continued through the night and I even accidentally wiped my external hard drive. I found a program to retrieve the deleted data though and just was content with transferring my files through the external drive chunks at a time because the attempt to use a recovery drive on the external drive somehow made its space smaller. I’m liking the new laptop’s speed and that so far there’s been barely any hangs. Hopefully that’ll last. I’m not going to save all of my deleted external drive data since it involved shows I can redownload at any time. I might consider buying another external drive at some point if I want to backup my favorite shows. ( Review and spoilers for In Your Dreams )

That’s all for now. Free Palestine and all prisoners. May Trump fail utterly in his policies, especially with attacking Venezuela. Until the eve of New Years Eve, see you!

Finally met with the representative at the new agency. After many delays, we talked in person and went over what I and my brother wanted and searched for. This was at the beginning of October. It turns out she was replacing the previous representative we had talked to and still needs to find someone who will work with us directly. I haven’t heard much since then other than part time hours needing to be extended so we could have a better chance of finding some jobs. We had a meeting today but there were technical difficulties but fortunately she and another only needed to talk and confirm information. We’ll meet again with her tomorrow. I would have preferred to just enjoy the holiday but as well, it will only take a half hour at most. At this point, I’ll try not to worry and enjoy my writing and reading passions a day at a time.

It’s getting colder and I’ve moved to using the treadmill to get my exercise. After dealing with a vacuum cleaner that broke and another that spat out dust, my dad decided to order a new one. It’s a relief that the new vacuum cleaner seems to be quieter, though apparently heavier than the previous models. I’ll find out how to handle it today since tomorrow’s Halloween and I want to enjoy that day without any chores. I wear headphones listening to youtube videos, podcasts and audio dramas while vacuuming, so it’ll be great not to have to raise my phone to maximum volume to listen. I’ll probably buy 1 less audio drama per month because of the current government crisis and the food stamp situation.

After a delay due to her getting sick, my older brother and I anticipated meeting our new person to help us find a new job last week, only for her to cancel because she was still sick or sick again. Fortunately, we’ll meet her this Friday. Hopefully there won’t be any other delays. I missed a few more days of writing but I believe I’ll make them up soon enough. Starting tomorrow, I’ll only make-up for mssed writing days by doubling every Wednesday, with writing double for Tuesdays being only once a month.

It’s been a hot summer but fortunately the temperature is going down. Sunset is arriving earlier and earlier. I won’t have to go for a walk near or after sunset as much. My changing walk times to keep up with the optimum temperature of 70 degrees might interfere with my writing but so far that isn’t a concern yet. The good news for me is that finally someone was found in my area that could help my older brother and I train for and find a job. We’ll meet her in September and talk about our next steps. I don’t know if we’ll be job training and going to volunteer jobs right away but I hope it’s not too disruptive to my writing. At least if I get a paying job, I can pursue stories and services that interest me. I try to only spend a certain amount of money per month so I don’t disperse my funds recklessly. Still trying to socialize at least every other day but sometimes I can’t find anyone to talk with or I’m too absorbed in something else. Maybe these job opportunities would be a good avenue for socializing too. ( Review and spoilers for The Fantastic Four: The First Steps )

That’s all for now. Free Palestine and free hostages on all sides. Down with Trump and all conservatism that’s connected to fascism. I’ll see you at the end of September.

Finally got a new agency to help me find a job. Last Wednesday, a woman came around and with another person on a virtual call, explained she will find a job coach near us to help us with our job skills and build experience. Unfortunately to get any jobs, I’ll have to do unpaid volunteer work. I’ll also have to work 5 hours a week, divided between job training and then working somewhere. That might mean I’ll have less time to watch or read certain things. For catching up with missed writing days, that might be awkward but I’ll deal with it as it comes. Who knows, I might still be sitting at home doing my hobbies for much of the day but at any rate, it’s some progress. I’ll remain in contact with the woman who dissolved her previous agency, just in case.

That’s all for now. My tooth fillings have been redone and with a numbing regiment less extensive and less long lasting. I’m glad for their work, though I’m also glad I won’t have to come back to the dentists until December. Free Palestine and may Trump and his ilk fail within their lifetimes. Until the end of next month, see you!

Last weekend was a trifecta of technical problems. On Saturday, our wifi suddenly went out. I observed Dad and helped what little I could to find what the problem was. I was concerned when the wifi box smoked as Dad experimented with it but after cutting some wires and testing their voltage, he brought the Internet back, even if it went in and out for a bit. Then Dad needed my help to fix air conditioning for a live-in relative’s car. It seems like some wires were reversed since it only worked when the car was off. With high 90s heat coming, Dad had to come up with a solution. He couldn’t figure out where the problem was and how to reverse it, so he made a stopgap that would bypass the problem (I’m being vague in case it breaks some law). Then last Monday, the wifi kept slowing and then going out, leading to Dad having to grumpily reset it twice. It was stressful. I tried to follow what he was saying but his explanations weren’t always intuitive. I’m not sure if I’ll be able to fix things and figure out problems like he does. I also dealt with a slowing laptop but I think I got to redo some of it by changing to having the highest power plan.

That’s all for now. I recovered from having a tooth filling redone today and will have to go back at the end of July for the other fillings to be fixed. Free Palestine and no war with Iran. Until the end of July, see you!

The new screen works. After practicing taking the old screen off and on to mitigate its issues, I was able to put on the new 1 with the only problem being almost losing 3 screws. I had to really crawl on the carpet and use my phone light to track each of them down. I needed to shut off and restart my laptop but after turning off the touch-screen which I never use and some resizing since the screen was wider, I don’t have to deal with freezing or discoloration again. Other than text and icons being a bit bigger, the experience is not that different from my previous screen. I won’t move the screen if I can help it and if I do, I’ll move it with hands on both sides so I don’t get those issues again. I’ve had this laptop for over a decade and I hope I can make it last as long as I’m able to.

Speaking of new things, I got a new chair from a relative who passed away. I was comfortable with the old chair but it had holes and stains, so I was persuaded to switch it out. So far the new chair is comfortable and the only downside is the armrests being too wide to put my headphones on. This happened a few days after I was suddenly asked with helping bring and reorganize said relative’s items and furniture into a storage container. Dad seemed to indicate it would be quick but if I knew it was going to last a couple of hours, I would have been more hesitant. I also brought my coat because the weather was on the borderline between cool and warm but all the hard work made me sweat a lot by the time it was done. I did wonder if I’d have to skip writing that day but I managed to squeeze it in. On the bright side, I had my exercise. Dad had me help him with a few other things following that and fortunately they weren’t quite as long. If they interrupted my writing, I extended my writing block by the amount of time I was occupied by the other task.

That’s all for now. I had a dentist cleaning and will need to go back again at the end of next month to have some of my fillings redone. I’ve done additional vacuuming yesterday to finish it today because Mom and I are going to a film someone she knows voiced a role in Sunday and I didn’t want to juggle too much tomorrow. Free Palestine and release hostages on all sides. May Trump fall and conservatism be seen as the threat to democracy it is and might have always been. Until the end of the June, see you!

Our rabbit passed away. She was not eating but otherwise acted normal. Then there was a day where she increasingly moved less and less. We tried our best and I did some massages to her I saw on youtube, but she was gone by the morning. It was a shock. My parents cried and were wracked with guilt. I wondered if we wouldn’t get anymore pets but Dad after a week wanted another rabbit and he tracked down shelter with one specific rabbit he liked. I was concerned he would be upset if someone else nabbed her first but it turned out she was at the shelter for a while and she’s a lot bigger than our previous rabbit or the photos implied. She’s still skittish with being petted but I’ve been laying near her with my hand out and talking to her, getting her used to my presence. She’ll nudge and sniff me now, which is great, but it’s still a work in progress.

On Friday, my laptop’s screen issues got even more aggravating. I had to type this paragraph 1 handed that day while another hand pressed the bottom strip below the screen. The constant screen discoloring and even freezing even when I touched other parts of the laptop was frustrating and I tried all combinations of pressing and moving the screen up and down. I’m afraid that might have exasperated the problems. I asked dad to get the screwdriver he used for taking apart the laptop to see if pulling the screen off and back on helped. I lost a screw 3 separate times, the last time I thought I lost it for good. Still, pulling it off and putting it back on seems to alleviate the problem somewhat, so I’ve been keeping the screwdriver nearby. Before I ran across that solution, this problem finally made me go on Ebay and order another screen but when it arrived today, its video cable port was smaller and so have to send it back tomorrow. I didn’t learn from last time that I should look up the model number of a part I want to replace. I did that earlier and it’ll be here within 2-5 days. Hopefully I chose the right 1. Maybe finally I’ll at last get rid of the screen freezing and flickering I’ve been dealing with for nearly a decade. It’s been severely cutting into my time writing, and reading and watching things I like.

Dad helped repair my laptop twice this month. I found I actually got the correct hinges and back cover from ebay, complete with wifi wires along with the latter so I didn’t need to order the other wifi wires to be begin with, which mightn’t have been the right 1s and never seemed arrived to my home. I did express to Dad interest in helping take the laptop apart, so he taught me how to remove the screws but not much more than that because we’re dealing with delicate parts and don’t want to take all day to accomplish the task. But I found I ordered the wrong screen cable, which only connect to 2 out of 3 places. Dad had me take a close up picture of the names and numbers on the original video cable to find a replacement. I found 1 on another site aside from ebay and ordered it. When it arrived, Dad confirmed it was the right 1 and a few days later we installed it. Dad tried to put back the cover around the screen but the back cover seemed to be of a different size. That didn’t fix the screen freezing and strange colors, though they’ve lessened. Dad thinks it might be the screen that’s the issue, probably from me closing the screen only from 1 side long ago. I heard the advice that you should move the screen from both sides to prevent that but I’m not going to move it unless it’s necessary. I’m not going to buy another screen yet, wanting a break from taking the laptop apart and replacing parts. Hopefully if the issue the screen persists, ordering 1 will fix the screen issues.

After some fits and starts, I finally restarted writing. Though I’m not completely out of the woods yet, my cough has calmed so much that I can maintain a decent sleep schedule and can write without much distraction. I let myself re-listen to youtube videos at night which threw off my sleep schedule but I finally got that out of my system and am back to normal. I’m already inputting changes to the second to last chapter for my mon-inspired story. The last chapter might be difficult, since it involves dropping in moments of characters from 2 different groups coming to like each other without extending the chapter’s length drastically. Writing freeform fanfic has experienced similar delays but it has its pleasant and frustrating moments. I plan to resume making up missed writing days starting next month with Tuesday for fanfic missed days and Wednesday for original fic missed days, though I’ll skip if those days are too busy for any reason. I might finish these missed days within half a year but I’ll try not to stress myself sticking to the schedule.

I’m getting more screen freeze issues, so after some digging, I found the model number for my laptop and was able to track down and order the exact screen wire for it. I didn’t order the other parts yet because I didn’t want to have another situation like last month where they didn’t fit after all. If it works, I’ll order more parts in the future. While dealing with the screen issue, the white wire of the 2 wires for the wifi antenna broke. It still allowed me to use to the Internet but it was inconvenient. Dad fixed it last Friday but when bending the screen up and down to make the screen unfreeze, the white wire broke again. I think I found a replacement but I’ll have to double-check if it’s the super-exact right model. Maybe I should ask Dad to show me how to take apart the laptop myself. He’s getting on in years and I want to be able to deal with more of these technical problems at my own discretion.
