People's attitudes and my responses
Today, I walked with Noelle, and I bumped into Patsy, (she said that was her name) who is a janitor because she said I was on the right side and not the left. However, she was walking her bike, and talking on the phone. I told her she should pay attention. She said I should wear sunglasses so people would not know I was blind. I said I'm not ashamed of being blind. She said I wasn't dressed right. I should wear sandals and shorts. Gee whiz. That was strange. That was the only strange thing about the walk. Gerry and Pat are right. What's the matter with sighted people? I used to have friends. I mean, I do have friends, but not here. I'm so tired of being here, even though I had three great phone calls. Cheryl wished me a happy birthday because she thought it was today. I spoke to Mike from Florida who wants me to write about his experiences as a disabled person, and as a Veteran. And Linda who is a Veteran and works for AnchorRides said she might want me to train girls from the American Legion on the Legislature. Jerry and I are still e-mailing. How sad that someone who could get us swooning in high school says he cannot sing any more. Lynne
