Hello, fellow Bloggers and dear readers. Just wanted to touch base with everyone and wish everyone my best hopes for the New Year. As for me, everything is going well, so far.  As of now, I have completed a collection of Jem and the Holograms dolls by Integrity Toys, and I wish to thank eBay and Mercari for their services and my good fortune. As for the future, I'm hoping it's going in a good direction, because, as you know, I celebrate my Birthday next month, and I am in the final stages of planning my party at my local church.  Also, I'm hoping the mystery guest I've booked will grant my wishes and allow me a dance with her. Furthermore, if you have not been keeping up with my updates, I have been working feverishly to gain independent housing, and I am sincerely hoping that my new peer advocate will be able to aid me in achieving said goal, so be sure to wish me luck in this endeavor. In closing, I wish all of you good fortune in the New Year, and remind all of you, ...

In case the title of the journal entry hasn't given it away, I am very, very disappointed in the American people at this point. I am ashamed of our country's decision to re-elect Donald Trump as our 47th President, because apparently, the public fell for his rants and empty promises instead of looking toward their future.  I still think Kamala Harris would have made a good president, because she actually had a plan for the future of the country, while Trump has... absolutely nothing except concepts for a plan. And now that Trump is back in the White House, I'm sure he will do absolutely nothing that will benefit our people.  All he'll do is basically pardon all the "cult members" that threatened the 2021 election, not to mention take revenge on everyone who turned against him. So, America, I say this in closing.  Thank you for basically digging a deeper grave for us, because for the next four years, we will be stuck with the most selfish, most narcissistic ma...

Hey, dear readers. I figured I'd explain what's been happening with my Supportive Housing status, and I'd just thought of what I'd say. In case you haven't known, I've been working for the past two years to acquire independent housing in the five boroughs of New York City, and my original peer advocate, Carlos Villa, had been transferred, so I needed to be partnered with a new advocate. It seems I've been partnered with a female peer advocate named Tanja Richardson, and I hope and pray that she will be able to bring me aid to gain the resources I need to gain the independent housing I can afford.  Wish me luck, and as always, keep smiling, and keep dreaming.

Hey there, readers, fans, and fellow Bloggers. I thought I'd share a bit of good news regarding my apartment hunting situation.  Remember when I filled out an application for Section 8 assistance?  Well, I have an update regarding that application, and it's good news. I phoned the New York City Housing Authority headquarters, and they informed me that I was placed on the Section 8 waitlist.  I also checked my Gmail account, and it was confirmed.  I'm hoping to high heaven that this is a step toward getting out on my own, so do me a favor and wish me luck, because I could use it. So, farewell for now, and hope for more good news from me, and as always, keep smiling, and keep dreaming.

Hey there, everybody.  Just wanted to give everyone a heads-up on my situation and let you know that I have not dropped off the grid, at least, not completely. I needed some time to get my thoughts together and think of how I would inform you all of my moving situation.  Anyway, I spoke with my care coordinator and a consultant at the Center for Urban Community Services (CUCS) regarding obtaining new housing.  I was told by a Ms. Johnson (not to be confused with my mother; this is another person with our last name) and she explained that there may be transitional housing available.  In other words, it's temporary, but at least I can be on my own for a while. I am hoping and praying that this option will eventually lead me to gaining some form of independence, so do me a favor, and wish me luck out there.  Thanks, and peace out.
