Thank God for Stephie! The Amazon experience

 

Call me a lazy one but for me it is much easier to ask my friend Stephie to order for me.

Together, Stephie and I search Amazon for whatever I need. She describes it to me and together we make the decision as to what I would like her to order.

Stephie has become really good at understanding what my likes are. She describes things in detail to me and this is an advantage for me in that if I were to order on my own I would not always know how the product looks. So there is my excuse.  

Ordering via Amazon is nice and easy but I've just got to watch my spending.

Got to get ready! Traveling again

I am very honest when I tell you that traveling is no longer much fun for me.  Especially so when I need to do it alone.

If I know that someone will be at the other end to meet me, like Jilla in the UK or Cathie and Chris in Montreal, then it is fun. However, when I need to do it on trips where I check in on my own and then travel on my own?  No, no fun!

The landscape for traveling has changed dramatically and for me, as a vision-impaired person, it has become nerve racking and very stressful.

Rubbing my hands together! Getting ready for fall pottery

 

I am always really excited when fall comes and it’s a new season for my pottery.

Oh yes, and it’s time for Shaun and me to decide what am I going to make for the season! We sit and relax with a cup of tea in my case and a cup of coffee for Shaun.

Then we allow our imaginations to roam and wander. We exchange ideas and before you know it? We have a plan and Shaun sets about to bring me my implements and templates.

We have a plan and for the next few weeks I’ll be working diligently with Shaun right beside me guiding and prodding me along!

They scare me! Where are the wasps

 

This is one thing that really makes me nervous and that is when those sneaky wasps come near me.

On the whole I never know when they are near me, and not until they are practically in my face, so to speak.

They do not make any noise as they approach, so where a person with sight can see them coming, for a vision-impaired person it is practically impossible.

They usually make their presence known when the weather is warm.  Just be careful not to have any sweet things around, or meat.

If I dare to sit outdoors at a restaurant, I need to have my poor friends be my lookout. Then I need to remember that if they alight upon me, do not swat them, because bingo!  Their friends and relatives will soon be upon me!  Summoned by those buzzing wasps!

Learning to cope : Dealing with a running toilet tank

 

Ob boy, this is not my favourite challenge. When this happens I normally take a deep breath and then dive into the problem, so to speak.

First, I remove the tank’s cover. Next I plunge my hands into the cold water and locate the flusher. Then I raise the flusher and allow the water to run out of the tank. Then I replace the cover and pray that this has fixed the problem.

On many occasions, however, I need to call on my special Super Nick to rescue me.

The beat continues: Challenges of signing up for online exams

 

This continues to be a huge challenge for persons with vision loss. The inability to sign up independently for online exams.

First off, many websites are difficult to navigate and forms are a challenge to complete.  This is what happened to me when I went to sign up for my Cyber Security Course with the Pearson Brunei company.

The online website was difficult to navigate and even my very capable and qualified sighted friend had problems doing it for me. It took months before we could finally schedule a date.

Oh my Precious one! Going to Church with Precious Pearl

 

My Precious Pearl is indeed a very special person! I met Pearl many years ago when she became my volunteer driver.

We started with her accompanying me to medical appointments and soon we found ourselves being fast friends. Over the years, we have shared many restaurant lunches, I have played her piano at her home, and we have shared so much more.

Pearl is responsible for bringing me back to Church. She introduced me to Father Ron and to several other parishioners.  Going to Church with Pearl is one of the most special times for me.

Pearl is gentle, kind, generous, and so much more. I am just so fortunate that Jesus has brought her into my life.
