I hate having to depend on people. It's not a nice position to be in. I inconvenience bus drivers, the train rail assistance, taxi drivers, and I even have to bother the general public every time I am out at a store and can't reach what I want.

As I arrived, at the supermarket(grocery store) I was thinking how convenient it would be to have assistants who could go around the store to help disabled or short people. It would be nice to have a personal shopper. Then I remembered I needed to go back outside to the atm.

I let the two women, who arrived just after me, use the machine first. This gave me some time to ponder. Causality. Would these two people who for no reason now didn't need to wait for me to fumble around getting my card from my wallet. My wallet is still jammed in my pocket and because my hands are taking care of my movement. The once mastered approach to a cashpoint, where it's all happening at once, is lost to me. Now I wheel up. Put a break on and hold up a few people while I'm getting my stuff together. So as I was saying would these four people, two more had appeared, be involved in a fatal accident because my actions had shifted their time lines by a few minutes. Or perhaps would it have caused them to narrowly avoid being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Looking back now I'm more content, effervescent even, maybe they where in the right place at the right time. I had been wasting huge chunks of my day playing a video game, where killing prostitutes was a relaxing past time between pulling off million dollar heists and destroying rival meth labs. This weekend my Mom and Mike visited. On Saturday night I went with my Mom, M and my wife to eat some Tapas, which, despite being from a chain, was all pretty delicious. Then we went to see About Time, which, despite being a romcom, was interesting. A decent way to waste two hours!

They did all kind of jobs that we can't do. Independence is a word. I have realised that independence doesn't actually exist. I've been in situations with healthcare and social-care 'professionals' who refer to independence. It's all bubbles. That's why currency exists. A phrase they love is independent living. It sounds good. A self sustainable existence in a secluded forest surrounded by blackberries, raspberries and all the other things. However, they mean things like personal care. It's pretty obvious that when discussing independence (which doesn't exist) you are probably in a situation where you don't have independence (which doesn't exist). It's nonsense. It's pretty funny that the government here are getting rid of Disability Living Allowance to replace it with Personal Independence Payments. It would have been more cost effective and also more obvious to just cross reference registered disabled with the hugely abused DLA claimants.

A register of cripples does indeed exist in the UK. Presumably so that if there is ever a fascist government half the work is done so they can just wheel us off a bridge. Being registered disabled has a few niceties though. Like one free carer ticket at the movies and similar deals at other leisure places.

I had pushed around and got everything and I was at the aisle with the cat treats. Sadie and Baxter like Dreamies despite them being junk. I like ice cream so treats don't need to be nutritious. Some fruit tastes very good to me so obviously not being nutritious is not a prerequisite. The treats are on the top shelf so I waited for a random passer by. He also bought some of the treats for his cat. I started to think about causality again but that was cut short by an employee at the store asking me if I needed any help. "I'm just finished."

Maybe they do have personal shoppers but this is England and service would mean people had to think about their job. Next time I may inquire at the often deserted customer service desk.
