Month: October 2023

The state’s lead worker who did my assessment called me on Wednesday. She told me they were denying my services. I have to file an appeal, and hopefully get someone to represent me for the hearing. On a normal day I could probably argue that whole thing myself. However if I loos the argument it means my services are denied for the forseeable future.

#Readathon is on hour 21! I can’t believe I got through four books that fast. Well I did. I went to my folder of legal documents, and pulled something. [papers.ssrn.com/sol3/pape…](https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=3751094) Yeah, I have one of those, no I didn’t write them.

.I’m about a hundred pages from finishing Claim of Privilege, which is about a military airplane crash in the 1940s, and how the state secrets privilege was born. This case was taken up to the supreme court. Unfortunately it happened to be in the post world war ii era, and the court ruled that the government didn’t have to disclose the accident report to the families. Here’s the link for the book,. Long book is well… uh,long, and long Amazon links are annoying, I put this into a shortener, but it is the Kindle edition.

#Readathon.

.I’ve just finished book number 3. This one by Dr. Michael Heiser. [www.amazon.com/Supernatu…](https://www.amazon.com/Supernatural-Bible-)…Teaches-Unseen-Matters-ebook/dp/B016LT2YHA/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&s=digital-text&sr=1-3 This was a great book! I think I’ll take a break for a while, before starting the next one, which is about how the state secrets privilege came about. It happens to be 352 pages, should take 6 to 7 hours. #readathon

Just finished the book about leaving mormonism and becoming a Christian. Now on to one written by a jurror from the case from 1995. Should be short, it’s on Audible, so I can speed up narration a bit.

Let’s do a quick survey, normally there’s an opening event survey, but I didn’t see one this time, so I’m going to try and do this based on past questions.

1. Where are you reading from? Oregon, US.

2. How many times have you done Readathon? I think this is my sixth or seventh. I didn’t do it twice each year. I started in 2017, kept it up for a while, then took a break. I haven’t done one since 2021.

3. What book are you most looking forward to? I’m looking forward to all the books. Well I got four for the event today. They all encapsulate my interests in some way. Do I think I’ll finish all of them? One is kind of long, so I’m not sure.

4. What snack are you most looking forward to? I have a lot of those here, and most of them are sweet lol so any of them.

5. Are you planning to read the entire 24 hours? I know this isn’t a question they usually ask. However I’m always curious. The answer is yes, if the books last that long

Well, it’s nearly 5:00 here, and will be time to start #readathon ! My first book will be one I got on Kindle, about a Mormon who left, and became a Christian. It’s this one. [www.amazon.com/Mormonism…](https://www.amazon.com/Mormonism-Matrix-Me)…-Journey-Calvary-ebook/dp/B00K5W1EQW

#Readathon is coming up Saturday. I didn’t find the sign up page for it, but I’m still planning on participating. I haven’t done this since 2021, and so far, I plant to get at least four books. I’m making sure their fairly short, though. By short, I mean 300 pages or under.

Oh yeah, and I’m going to participate in Readathon this weekend, if it’s still happening. No signups, and no action on the events Twitter/X account. I’d like to do it anyway, but if it isn’t happening, I probably won’t.

For a long time, I suspected that the maintanence man that works for my apartment complex did not take me seriously. When my caregiver noticed problems with the heater vents, and cracks in the wall. I was correct about my suspicions. I also have a refridgerator that’s been leaking since August. An appliance person was here the 28th of last month, the first day I had with this caregiver, and he said it was just a slight leak.
He found the rubber part that was leaking. He did take ice out of a tube in the freezer that wasn’t supposed to have it in there. He said it was a slow leak, which at the time didn’t seem like it was the case, because it was flooding the carpet next to the kitchen. He also said he was going to try to get a replacement fridge in here soon.
Apparently, there was a lot of water building up in there. My caregiver said that every Monday and Thursday when she comes to work, she has to clean a large puddle off the floor. The main maintanence man they have, not the appliance guy, usually doesn’t follow up with me anyway, so I had her call him. He texted her right away, and asked her to send pictures of the walls. She did so, and also texted, and with some coaching, she isn’t all that tech savvy, emailed me the pictures.
The maintanence man called back in a few minutes. He asked her the following question. “I noticed a water pitcher in the fridge, is that getting spilt?” Uh… no dude! That’s the system I use to keep up with my diabetes insipidus, and 19 out of 20 times I never spill that thing, even though I fill it all the way. Also, if I do spill it, it’s usually a small amount, on the floor next to the fridge, not on the carpet! What a ridiculous question!! Also, he wanted to put her contact information down, instead of mine. She does not live here, and I could possibly get my housing terminated if he does so. Although I’d need to ask the housing authority about that.
I suppose the one thing that he doesn’t know is that I’m an honest an accurate records keeper, and he doesn’t seem like he is. He said the appliance guy came here on the 25th of September, not the 28th.
