Hi everybody. Welcome to my blog where I talk about my present.

Hey, happy April Fool’s Day. As my friend here said, I live for this day. I even called my agency. I told them my health aide set my dog on fire because of a grease fire. My dog now looks like a hairless Mexican chihuahua or a punk rock dog. Then I said, “April Fools!”

Now, back to my blog. I’m gonna dedicate this blog to my daughter. She was just here. We had a great time. She’s awesome. This blog is for her.

I told you I was gonna talk about getting a handicapped van at a good price. Well, this is what you do: Now, anyone could go out and buy a handicap van. It will only cost you $65-72K. So, you can buy one outright, but I suggest you do the following: Now, after some research, I found the best thing to do is buy a used van from a rental car place. A van can be converted into a handicap van. Like a Chrysler Pacifica or a Toyota Sienna. Because I have a traumatic brain injury and I’m on the waiver program, I can get my van converted to handicap for free. The state will do it under the waiver program. (You have to be on the waiver program to do this). It all takes time, but it’s better than spending a lot of money on a vehicle. I find it amazing that they charge you so much money when you’re in a bad way already. It’s kind of like price gouging. It’s kind of like adding insult to injury. Anyway, I’ll get off my soapbox. Where there’s a will there’s a way. Like I said, it just takes time. I have a little time anyway. I’m just sitting around.

I’d like to talk about my visit with my daughter. You see, it’s important to have someone around you like this. You know, a family member that cares about you. It’s very important to keep your spirits up. Speaking of keeping your spirits up, don’t look in the mirror if you’re like this. It’s a bummer, believe me. It’s almost as if your body changes because of the wheelchair. Now, I say the mirror is a bummer, but actually it’s a good guide. For example, I wouldn’t know if I slump to the right. When I look at the mirror, I realize I have to correct myself. So I guess it’s a good thing to have around. Just don’t look too closely at yourself.

You know, whenever I get bummed out, I look at photos I’ve taken in the past, before I got injured I was working on a series called “Travel.” I’ll include some images I did.

Have a good April 1st and if you have a dog, tell some it was accidentally caught on fire. My friend here just said that’s terrible, and maybe it’s true. I do have diarriah of the mouth. Let’s blame it on the injury, or maybe it’s just my distorted personality.

Love and miss you guys. Love, B. Nice
