Blue days continue, but there is light at the end of the tunnel

Last week I had difficulty with a minor case of the flu and am still having some problems with fatigue. I did, however, manage to finish the novel Daughter of God and found it quite interesting, but I am planning on writing something about that in the next few days. I will try to go over some of my older posts and then attempt to accomplish what I had set out to do earlier. I have been doing some things around here, but I am definitely not satisfied with what I have accomplished. All of the hurricanes have severely deflated my normally bubbling enthusiasm and I am bordering on a mild case of depression. Maybe I can get some ideas from the doctor at my appointment on Thursday. I know I have a list of things I want to get consults for and items which I need to replenish. It may be possible to have an address some of the issues which I have been dealing with over the past month or so. Nonetheless, I am planning on trying to write more posts in an attempt to get myself back on track. As I read in a book the other day, I sometimes feel rudderless and almost completely without direction since I have been finished with school. I was sitting here tonight thinking about what I could do with the rest of my life and frankly all I can come to was reading about history or just simply reading enjoyable books and watching TV. That seems rather trivial to me and I don't think it will do. I wish I could find some good employment I could handle from the house, but I have to accept the fact that I am only trained in many things which people I'm now unable to perform. Maybe I can find a niche somewhere and this will give me a sense of self-satisfaction. I may reconsider writing once again, but I really need to explore what I'm going to do after I finish getting my house ready to sell and get ready to move. I will discuss that later. Purchasing a house that is wheelchair accessible is definitely a challenge which the average quadriplegic faces. Able-bodied individuals have no idea what barriers just a normal house has ended to a wheelchair-bound person.
I also had an interesting thing happened today. I was attempting to start a new James Patterson book and due to his wasteful habits of using an extremely large font and putting very little writing on one page, the book was too large in the current hardback addition to fit in my bookstand properly. This is just another barrier which many quadriplegics have to overcome. Many people often wonder how I am able to read, so I will attempt to post a picture of my bookstand's and the mousesticks I use. I could attempt to read it in a modified bookstand, but I will probably wait for it to come out in paperback. Frankly, his books have been a little disappointing lately and he needs to think about getting some new editors.
(Need to review tomorrow).

Katrina weighs heavy on me

I have not been able to write a blog for some time and I don't feel like writing one right now. Frankly, Katrina has me in a state of disbelief. I'm going to try to write more later about my anger, frustration, and overwhelming sentiments about this national tragedy, but I just don't feel up to it right now. I am, however, buoyed by the fact I just learned yesterday my nephew is alive and doing well. I have voice set on these blogs I would do more, but frankly I need to concentrate on reading and trying to get ready for other things that are going on. I will probably get more done in the future, but right now I just don't feel up to writing very much. I guess that is part of life.
