SHARE YOUR WORLD – 2016 WEEK 19

With your answers, please remember we are in the SYW world and which may not always match our reality.

  1. You win a pet monkey but this isn’t just any old monkey. It can do one trick for you whenever you want from getting a pop out of the fridge to washing your hair. What would be the trick?

Go find that dork Donald Trump or the Koch Brothers get their money and redistribute it to the poor, needy, disabled, homeless, Veterans and Oh Yes while we’re at it Give me the monetary equivalent of my 40 Acres and a Mule.  Hmmm… maybe while they digging into The Donald’s bank account I would get the monkey to rip that sorry-ass dead animal weave off his noggin!! LOL!!

  1. What caring thing are you going to do for yourself today?

Got my eyebrows and upper lip waxed. Love the magnificent artist Frida Kahlo but no need for a Unibrow.  Took advantage of today’s good weather and did a Soulful Strut along Fulton Street in Brooklyn.

  1. What color do you feel most comfortable wearing?

Purple.  Red and Blue also.

  1. Complete this sentence:  When I travel I love to….  eat and take photos!!

Bonus question:  What are you grateful for from last week, and what are you looking forward to in the week coming up? 

I am grateful for my vacation even though it rained the entire time except for today which is the last day. However I’m also grateful I was at home as opposed to work because the museum gets extremely crowded during inclement weather. It’s like being invaded by locusts!  Also grateful for the opportunity to celebrate my brother Stephen’s 55th Birthday!!  Hooray!! Went to see the Special Dinosaur Exhibit at the American Museum of Natural History.   We also made progress on the Sibling Art Collage that we are collaborating on.

Looking forward to getting together with a guy I met yesterday at my room-mate’s dinner party. Since I work for a New York museum I can get into all other NYC museums for Free. Since we both have an interest in art, photography, museums, Buddhism, etc… we made an immediate connection.

Also this African-American Scottish Brother is easy on the eyes with a great sense of humor. As you can see I’m getting slightly giddy as though I was 17 instead of 57 but I’m ready for some romance. But let’s not put the care ahead of the horse. Right now Mr. African Scotland Yard seems like a great hang-out partner. Hopefully the weather will be in the 70s and sunny with no rain like the past week.  Fingers crossed!

SHARE YOUR WORLD – 2016 WEEK 17

With your answers, please remember we are in the SYW world and which may not always match our reality.

When writing by hand do you prefer to use a pencil or pen? 

In my notebooks which are always with me I use a pen.

What’s your choice: jigsaw, word, maze or numeric puzzles?

I used to do many words puzzles like Find A Word. Don’t do it anymore because it is too difficult for me to see properly. As a child I Loved Jigsaw puzzles. I would do those again if I had time. No maze or numeric for me. Too much for my number challenged brain to figure out. Some of my co-workers are hooked on Sudoku.

Do you prefer long hair or short hair for yourself? 

Right now I’m wearing a medium Afro. I prefer Long Hair but not the work entail in keeping it presentable.  Here are some of my various hairstyles over my 57 years. From traditional plaits, the terror of the straightening comb (If you’re a Black Woman over 40 you know what I mean), 70s Afro, Jheri Curls, Dred Locs.

List five some of your favorite blogs.

I know that this is more than five but I wanted to showcase at least eight of my favorites. I Love supporting and encouraging others!!  ❤

Stephen’s Upcoming 55th Birthday Celebration


 

Greetings Family and Friends!! My brother Stephen’s 55th Birthday Celebration is coming May 3rd. Two things I need.

Anyone in the NYC area who has a car who could help me pick up Stephen from his group home in Bellerose, Queens and bring him to Brownsville, Brooklyn would be much appreciated. Pick up May 1st. Return to Queens Residence May 4th. I will pay you for gas.

Stephen has Autism and I am his only living relative so I have no one else who can assist me.

Nov. 7th 2008 I had a minor stroke which affected my eyesight particularly the vision in my left eye. My eyesight is now 20/100 and I can no longer drive  car.  Retina surgery in Jan.2010 only partially corrected my vision problems.

I have always tried to be independent and do things on my own but as I’m getting older there are certain functions with which I need help.  Those of you who have followed me for a while know that I struggle with my job, doing overtime and suffering the effects of standing for long hours on hard floors.  Arthritis is no joke!!

Guess I’ve finally realized that I cannot do everything on my own.  So I’m trying to establish a supportive network.  Hopefully other people with developmentally disabled siblings with join with me.

Also Stephen loves sunglasses and key chains/rings. I’m collecting those and hope to put the key chains in a decorative jar for his special born day celebration. Plus baseball caps. Since Stephen is now bald he really loves baseball caps!  🙂

Please contact me via my email address.

Monetary Blessings/Donations can be made to my PayPal account using my email address: deborah.palmer280@gmail.com.

Many Thanks and God Bless!
