Cracks, Cracks and more Cracks

I'm sorry for not blogging lately as i have been busy with SMC my home business, and more importantly was trying to calm down after a week of social workers. If any of you saw Thursday nights Grey's Anatomy, i actually began to fantasies that i was the gun man looking for social workers instead of surgeons although there are some that need to be weeded out, sorry i dygress. I live on what is known as Sunnyside Campus, for those who have never been here we have a several acre property which houses a nursing home as well as a 119 unit public housing as well as my building with 31 units some market rent and 12 housing of which i'm in.

Just recently a new 30 unit assisted living building opened, they offer a wide assortment of services as these are people whom need some help but can still live in their own apartment. The building was built at a cost of slightly over 8 million dollars, the Sunnyside Foundation added a Wellness Centre at a cost of $660,000.00 of which to this point they have raised over $500,000.00 , now the centre is open and open to all of us. The staff invited me to see and join the gym, however due to my inabilities to pay $40.00 a month or $360.00 a year which is about the going rate for gym memberships, the only problem is i can only use 2 weight machines and the message therapist and whirlpool tub is by paying an unditermend amount on top of the enishal fees.

The Sunnyside social worker and my CCAC rep have both told me i don't qualify for assistance as i'm not there for rehab. and doesn't matter if i need to work on upper body strenght so i can continue to transfer in and out of my chair and also needing exerciseto lose weight is inmaterial as well. So wait for it "Glenn you as i hate to say it you've fallen into an crack", this is not the first time so god help you if your single, white, on disability and sadly only 49 years old. I don't have a partner to help defray the costs, believe it or not in 2010 we still have racialproblems as if i were a minority i wouldn't have any problems then, being on disability pension i can't afford this membership, and most importantly at 49 i'm to young and to old although my age could be debated. I can't understand government services you see a problem you fix the problem then go back and repair what went wrong, this is how the business world works however the knuckle draggers in power still don't understand.

Thanks for your patience and allowing me to vent, see you soon...
