I’ve been a busy boy lately.  I guess that’s a good thing as it means I am not being bored or just sitting around, doing nothing.  I’ve been exercising, to get slimmer and maintain control of my diabetes.  I’ve been working on my job search and occasionally dating.

On the date front.  It’s been a bit of a dry spell for me.  Not getting too many chances with women but I’m not too worried about it.  I know that there will be a time when I am busy dating and enjoying it.  In the meantime, I keep on living life as I can.  There’s a couple of prospects out there but I won’t get too involved just yet.

I saw my endocrinologist, an attractive lady from Turkey.  She loves how proactive I am in taking care of my diabetes and suggested that I give presentations on how to effectively take care of diabetes.  Since I’ve had experience with Toastmasters, a speech and leadership club, I am fully capable of putting together a presentation.  Visions of giving a Ted talk dance about in my imagination.  It would be nice to have something like that.  I am in the process of putting together a presentation on how I control my diabetes in a way that would be inspiring for others.

As for finding a job.  It’s a process and I might have been going about it the wrong way.  I am making use of the Department of Vocational Rehabilitation (DVR) to help me in finding a job.  It’s a service for people with disabilities, such as my diabetes and hearing loss, who need help in finding employment.  Now I am much more self directed in my job search activities, which they like, and I am applying for jobs on my own.  However, they are teaching me strategies I haven’t thought of using and showing me ways to improve upon my skills.  They even support my effort to learn ASL and will sign with me to help reinforce what I have learned.

As for ASL.  I am going to head off from here to practice my ASL and have some lunch.  Be back next week.

Until then…
