Okay I just need to vent and see ideas. But really realize that all
really can't do more than listen. Because its a transportation problem.

Derrick needs a ride home from work at 9pm 3 nights a week. We had
used the small access bus, but they had a habit of not showing up. And
that created more anxiety and just the dreaded phone call.

But last year in January we or his provider service arranged an ride. It
was the person that did most of the hours for his roommate. But he
isn't available this year. We had hoped maybe, I would even be willing
to pay him gas because the agency doesn't pay mileage.

We are hoping that even though they aren't good at answering that the
agency has some answers. But the meeting yesterday wasn't good.
His case manager tried telling it was first she heard of it. I emailed
2 weeks ago. So I re-emailed today with a read receipt. I even
emailed all the people from original email. We are also losing his job
coach, because she is moving. Really hate that.

Thanks for listening.

Apparently the prices change depending on the traffic times.

During busy times the prices are higher.


---BUt I do not exactly know because I have never used one.

Thanks Jo*Mar.

His provider knows something about Uber and is going to look into it.

We also have an chance the best buddy advisor knows someone that
would be willing to do it too. So we will see when the students return.

I hope that you can find a good solution to your problem Donna. I'm sorry that you have more worries to deal with. You already have so much on your plate

I'm sorry I don't have anything helpful to add

Just sounding it out with you guys help me.

I learned yesterday that Derrick now qualifies for SSDI and because it
wont be the amount he can make on SSI, that it will be two checks
or deposits. I have a phone conference for it later this month to understand
and know more.

Hoping this will help give a little more cash.

good news about the Ssdi.
I hope that he loves the skiing -- it can be great fun

[OhKay]

I'm glad he qualifies for benefits! That's good news, and I hope it all works out.

Water skiing!!! That sounds like fun!

He had lots of fun as usual with the skiing day. He also loves spending extra
time the next day in the game tent. The kids returning all look for him.

He went back to school this week. Just trying to get his reading level up this
quarter. So we will see how it works. He has about a month till work starts.
He may be changing his hours so the bus works after all.


Yesterday my ceiling decided to fall on and around me. So I've been taking
it easy the last 24 hours. I had to tell a parent I was trying to talk to at the
time. What had happened and that I needed to call her back later.
I think that is a first. But she of course understood.

I still have sore shoulders and my head hurts some.
