This needs to be fixed! No documentation for fire tips

Regrettably, this continues to be a sore point for me.
That is, when there are no documents in alternate formats available to blind and vision-impaired persons.

It does not matter how much I work to build awareness. In many cases it is working but there is the odd gap.

It is even more concerning when an important document, such as fire tips, was not available to me at my condo complex.

When I first asked the office manager to help me gain access to the fire tips in an alternate format he told me to go to the website and get them myself.

When I gently reminded him that it was the condo management’s responsibility to provide all documents in alternate format and that under the Condo Act it was my right to have them available, he changed his attitude and now things are back on the right track.

Finally!A blind Barbie

Finally, a blind Barbie has made her way onto the market and this is way overdue.

I bought her in September 2024 and she stands proudly amongst my other dolls on a shelf in my bedroom.

She comes with a cane and glasses. She is smartly dressed and I am very proud to make her a part of my doll family collection.

Faster and smoother: The new elevator

Oh yes, the new elevator is very fast and silent. I have to strain my ears to hear it coming.

Then, when I enter I have to make sure to know which button to press. There are Braille markings on the buttons and Stephie has shown me where my most used buttons are. So now I am more able to navigate safely and accurately.

The new elevator is different to the old elevator in that it announces when you reach your destination and when it reaches the ground floor. The elevator beeps as it passes each floor.

Good elevator!

Something new: Becoming familiar with a new buffet

As for me, when it comes to buffets it all depends on who is assisting me. I always have an idea which friend to ask when attending a buffet.

When it is a new buffet it is important for me to make sure that the right person with me.

Each friend or family member does things differently for me and I just need to ensure that I am able to adjust.
It is always a new learning experience when attending a buffet.

Never a dull day: New experiences

 I can only describe it like this. Each time I visit Mom and stay with her for a while, the experiences are each new, unique, and filled with so much learning.

Mom and I have never really discussed her inner feelings since she fell in June, 2023, and I recognize that this must be so very trying and tormenting for her.  However, she has borne it all with dignity, patience, and a positive outlook.

She is always so very pleasant when she wakes up in the mornings, looking forward to the day ahead.
She accepts her limitations each night before she goes to bed.
She prays all of the time and this is what keeps her going.

Yes, that’s my Mom!

New adventures: Assisting Mom with a new task

It is always such a privilege and pleasure whenever I get to assist my precious Mom with a new task.
It could be anything from doing the laundry to helping her in her garden.
It could be helping her to retrieve her dresses or help to pack things in her cupboards.
It could be anything from helping to fetch things from her fridge or freezer.
It could be anything from helping her when she decides to do some cooking.

So much to help Mom with and never a dull moment. We work together and we laugh together!
She uses her walker so very well.

Irritants: Those feisty lizards

 

These stubborn little critters are not just stubborn!  They are very bold, persistent, and have no problem pestering anyone and everyone around them.

They come out mainly at night and make irritating noises. In order to stop them I either shout at them , raise my hands, or clap loudly. They stop immediately but here is the problem! They resume their noisy irritation after a few minutes.

What to do? I am still thinking.
