Feeling More Confident

 

Hello Everyone:

I got off to a good start to the week.  I filled out a profile for a federal government urban development program, followed up with the bank about one of mum's account, sent off an introductory letter and resume to an architectural and planning firm based in New York City but has a local office.  Productive day, don't you think?  Hopefully, tomorrow will be equally productive.  In fact tomorrow, I have a phone appointment with someone from a community jobs program.  I want to speak to the counselor about a contact tracing training and work.  Even though it's temporary work, given that the pandemic isn't going away that quickly, it could be long term temp work.  Certainly beats folding sweaters and telling people to put a mask on or no service.  I really can't deal with irresponsible people.  I'm sure there are people, who were contacted by tracers, who either refuse to answer the text or phone call and get tested, that equally irresponsible.  Whatever.  I'd rather deal with a no response than someone shouting at me about violation of constitutional rights and being called every name in the book.  That could happen over the phone but, at least, I can hang up.  That's right, I have some power.  Speaking of power, every day I feel more confident in myself and my ability to handle the business of my life.  I can't believe that mum always believed that I totally depended on her for everything.  Actually I can because mum never trusted me with any decision, yet she didn't seem have a problem with me running the house during her illness.  Very contradictory.  Regardless of what she thinks, every day I take more control, is every day I prove her wrong.
