I have a chance to rent out an accessible house in a wonderful location. I can't fo it alone so the only way I can do this is to find another person. I know that there are other disabled people who want places but I also know they aren't willing to work together with anyone else. If only someone would take a chance, I hate to pass up this opportunity. This is so frustrating!

I was invited bythe owner of the accessible apartment in Mount Joy to visit the place and decide if it will work for me. I think I have a solution to deal with the distance, I will connect with someone who drives to Lancaster daily and share the cost of gas. Nobody has replied yet but I think there will be interest. The lease will only be for a year so by then I'll find something better. I had an offer of a handicapped apartment in Harrisburg and let it go. As a result I had a terrible time finding something.

Moving to Lancaster may not be as complex as I thought. I found 3 apartments that claim to be accessible and a house to rent. I will call them all tomorrow including the local Independent Living Center to ask around for another interested person but I think the house will be too big a deal. It may be something of interest in the future but accessible house don't come along everyday. All I care about is being invovlved with such a wonderful program- United Disability Services.

I must work in my field to be happy. I must stop thinking about it. I must start at the bottom. I must plan for it and figure things out along the way. So here goes... The best place to be that I know of is United Disability Services in Lancaster PA.
I sent them a resume and will volunteer there so they get to know me. I will live at the Sunnyview Motel which has an accessible room. I will expect nothing but to learn so that in the future I will become a part time employee.
Unlike Kentucky I expect it to only last 6 weeks. I want a paying job from Andrea but it may be best to start all over from scratch looking at an accessible place. I will not be living in limbo forever.

Someone called me and was very upset that a hotel had an accessible bathoom in one location but not in the other end of the lobby. I couldn't find a specific mandate on how many restrooms in the lobby must have an accesible stall. She had a point but I am grateful if there's one and I don't demand that a place have two. I also heard of people complaining that a ramp isn't good enough. While that may be true, I hate that because then the place won't have one at all. I often thank managers for ramps.

Should a person who uses a wheelchair be allowed to use a hotel restroom that is only for guests? I just had that situation earlier and I then called the company CEO about it. It is so rare that there are restrooms that I can use in the middle of neighborhoods that whenI find one I'm going to fight for it. The trouble is that the average person thinks I'm lying if I say I can't use other accessible one. I just sound picky not worried about breaking my leg and/or falling on the floor cause I can't get close enough or the toilet dipenser is in a bad spot. The result of this will be interesting,hopefully in a good way.

It's time to develop a website. I have more than enough to offer and a blog is not enough to interest people. Hopefully people who see my blog will email me about Infobility but I may have lost alot of people. I'm going to distribute my second newsletter later. My new idea for marketing is to help a lady who bakes gluten free items. I offered to share the product information with the autism community since flour is a dietary restriction for those people and they are limited in what they can eat. I'll also offer my "How Do I Spread My Wings?" book as an incentive to buy.
