Disappointments Bite But 'The Wooden Sky' Rocks So You Know Life Will Turn Out A-OK, lol

I feel like I am healing.

I mean, I don't hold on to disappointments as much as I use to. I don't latch on to support people as I use to. This feels better, but then I am still feeling waaay to mellow from this calming remedy.

I do feel upset and sad though because of the way things seem to be turning out...For instance I was really hoping for more support with food shopping and now I find that for the time being I won't be getting any support from Jenn, my case-manager. Then today my outreach worker Tori e-mailed me and says regarding this issue:

I’m sorry to hear you’re still struggling with Jenn's support but continue to express your support needs with her and try to come to a compromise...

Um, a lot gets lost when you only have e-mail support. I didn't feel like explaining that Jenn is refusing to shop with me. I didn't bother replying to Tori that I am supposedly getting an Occupational Therapist (to show me how to shop alone when I'm depending on that person to drive me home - um this is what I need help with anyway). I'm just like, OK thanks!

I had been feeling so happy and secure two weeks ago after talking to the coordinator, Kate, at my old group home. Unfortunately I am now disappointed that in the end no one will talk to Jenn for me. I use to always work with my whole team whenever there was a problem. Now it's just one on one. I find it useless to talk to Jenn because she disagrees with me and offers no rational explanation for why she does the things she does..

But like I said I am handling all the stress with my supports pretty well. Kerri will and I will go shopping together for the time being so it's all good. I don't hold onto grudges of what could have been. I'm gonna be a-OK!

Anywhoo, I was checking out this link that The Wooden Sky posted on their fan page on Facebook:

http://vimeo.com/channels/thewoodensky.

It is featuring the band's three documentary videos. Each video is about 5 to 10 minutes long and features a song after a small story. For more music and info on The Wooden Sky look them up on their MySpace page...

I love this band. I am also so proud to be able to say that my 2nd cousin Andrew, is the handsome and talented drummer. Andrew is the guy in the picture at this link to the far left. He is my first cousin Jean's son.

The Wooden Sky is from Scarborough, Ontario, Canada, but they travel around all of Canada and elsewhere while on Tour. It sounds like hard life to be travelling a lot of the time, but they seem to like it. For me I could never be so spontaneous, but then I do rely on my professional supports and a similar routine day by day to help me feel most a peace...
