Fifty nine years old and I am still waiting for that sex talk from my mom. Should have it soon I would think?

Eh,

I wasn't agitated because of helping dad, I mean I did get annoyed, but so did dad because of things not going well. That wasn't the problem. Should've been more accurate.

I was agitated because of a conflict involving a sibling, so was dad, and even mom, not gonna go much into it here, but this much older (about 12 years) sibling has been causing problems for a decade. I don't understand how dad still tolerates that sibling in his home with behavior like his over such a long period of time, and he's perfectly physically,mentally, and developmentally able so there's no reason for not just kicking him out for such extremely poor behavior, but it's probably mom stopping dad from doing that.

Still, I did most of the things I planned to do today, and didn't waste nearly as much time on Facebook and YouTube. I will definitely be keeping this up. I clearly have more than enough time, I just need to actually make good use of it.

Not to get too personal, but I actually have been making progress the last few years for myself.

It wasn't until I was close to 21 that I ever had a job.

I have had a few jobs, one which I worked 35 hours a week at, until I left it because the job changed into something I could no longer handle, and so I looked for another, a couple didn't work out, one I have now I have no issue with, not many hours, but it's still better than nothing for now. It's a 1 year contract so when it comes to the last couple months, I will be looking for another job, still part-time but more hours for sure.

Ironically, I didn't really feel any crunch about time when I was doing 35 a week, so as I have determined, it's not the amount of time I have that is the issue, but rather my issues with going from thinking about something, to then actually doing it.

The extra bit over $500 dollars I make a month usually (not counting holiday pay, etc) really adds nicely on top of my ODSP, considering the deduction I get from my ODSP is less than $100, so it still makes sense to even work this job, than no job.

I had to use the help of employment agencies that work with disabled people (like myself) to find me employment, because when I did on my own, nothing came of it.

I would like to politely ask that as a sign of respect, that people don't just assume people's family situation, or life situation, because you never know what it might be, and how it might be very different for them, than it was/is for you.

Still have a ways to go before I reach my final goal, which is of course to be completely independent and all that, but I am making progress and am happy to even be where I am, and I am glad that my specific disability is not so severe that I will never be able to be completely independent, but it's just going to take some time.

The internet just like all tech is neither good nor bad, it all depends what it’s used for.

I remember in a grade 4 English class, I wrote an opinion piece defending tv because you can watch the news, documentaries, educational programs, the history channel, discovery channel, etc.
