Struggluggling to understand nature of the health system dialalically; how I fit into it, having lived in this system now for many years. To what extent am I oppressed? It's clear I am, in a certain sense, because I can't get out of this situation.

Looking forward to a new year that may be better than the last. Now that I've been able to get on line every day I'm overwhelmed with everything going on in the world

I write  about change = change in my self in relation to others, and constant  small changes fit into a wider mosaic on global  level.

This is something I find very significant: An aide came to work here who I found I like, and it was clear she likes me. He name is Kinsey; I kept thinking of her as Lynn, a young woman I knew as a teenager and later in College. I felt I could "cross the barrier" that keeps staff from being "friendly" but not friends.

What happened right now, today, is what's most important. We were having a talk while she was doing a one-ne-ne with a resident who has to be constantly watched. I got to talking about how apathetic people are here. I  said residents insists our concerns are "personal" and problems can be solved only by elites. (This can be seen in some ways here at the institutional level because it is very hierarchical in the way it is structured.).

Trump's backing of  Judge Roy  Moore is hurting him and the Republican Party day by day. What's going on right now in Alabama is so sleazy and disgusting that I'm not surprised most people here in this facility where I live don't want to see it, or hear about it.
