I Am Getting A Lot of Support As A Mental Health Consumer Which I never Had Years Back

            The treatment plan and team that follows me now, as a mental health consumer, has more contact and better communication with me, which has me less angry over the stygma which was present in psychiatric  professionals that were treating me in the past. I will leave it at that, we have come to terms of endearment and sorting out what I was not delusional about, such as making a name for myself in engineering and the arts. As a end result I am not as nervous and working with the treatment team, to quit all smokables now that my lungs have taken a beating over the years.

            I started smoking when I was in high school at the age of fifteen, when I was working as a newspaper delivery boy for a Montreal publication and this led to smoking other things as a minor and adult. I wanted to be like my Father and pinched some of his tobacco and a rolling paper and rolled my first cigarette and smoked down by the household furnace to hide the smell and not being scene in public smoking a cigarette at my age. The end result was taking sick and woofing my cookies from the nicotine on a young lad, it was like heroin to me and I was soon buying my own with my news paper money. Ironically at the time, I did not know that Dad started at the same age working in the ship yards of Scotland doing his apprenticeship in marine engineering during World War ll. Dad even conceived me on his nicotine fix while with Mum, he smoked pretty well up to the end of his life and was very difficult for him to quit. 

            Being a lot like Dad genetically, with the want to be like him, I was conceived with a charge of nicotine from his sperm as a baby by some early 2020 medical information that I came across. I do want to surpass Dad's age and I posted my ink pen Lion head, as a Leo leader that I am to quit smokables for Lent which starts February 17th on ash Wednesday. Hopefully I will succeed in quitting the bad habit as a Leader to inspire others to quit as while. 

            Here it is Ash Wednesday and I got registered with a stop smoking group through the hospital system. I have cut back what I smoke during the run of a day, it is a start to getting the patch with follow up during March. I already do certain activities to occupy time with my hands, keeping them busy productively instead of the hands being busy playing with a cigarette in a ash tray as a nervous habit, With Covid 19, I actually stopped smoking out side and always wore a mask when walking about, except having a coffee and a smoke with a friend out side in a park with a safe distance between us. This time I am not alone with trying to quit, I have certain people around me that communicate through, telephone, email and zoom to help me quit during Covid 19 lock down.

How To Have A Wise Old Owl See Me Through The Mess My Writings Became, When Not Being Believed Over Media Attention

With The All Knowing Eye Of The Scales Of Justice, Hopefully I Will Get Through It Alright

            With all I have been through as a mental health consumer, all the Police interventions over the years, I do not exactly come out with a clean bill of health. I remember being frustrated and bitter over standing up for the National Building Code and what became  of my life. At one point I went up to a parked Police car and asked the Police Officer in the car, if he believed in justice, to my heart break he responded with a no, and he stated that it was a revolving door. It has to change, what went on around me and having been arrested twice with confusion and the system presently in place for justice. With how the justice system failed me as a mental health system, I took it out by ridiculing the courts in my Internet writing, as well as the mental health system, which I should not have done, but all I had to release tension and frustration, with having no one else to turn to but the Internet My only friend for a long time was my Internet, and the relationship turned to get out of hand, at least now I have a better relationship with mental health staff I deal with, sorting out the mess my life became.

            I will never forget the Police Officer that took the time to get into the ambulance with me and asking me what is going on with the domestic problems that they were called into while standing up for the National building code. I told the Police Officer about the hazards of putting gyp-rock over our old plaster from Victorian construction era. I explained the stupidity of doing it in the tri-level building and what I was caught up in. While this was going on the ambulance technician monitored my vitals. The Victorian 8" to 10" base board are ripped out, they were designed to reflect heat back in a room, and the wiring was messed with, sometimes ending up in a driven electrical meter causing a multitude of problems. The men and ladies in Police Uniform that I have dealt with over the years were all so special, even more so now during covid-19, as being the ones with fire fighters and ambulance technicians securing a scene first, getting people to court or hospital and all working together fire fighting back up.  

            This is a wild guess, if I have gyp-rock over old plaster in places within Canada, how are the States with this same problem. it came from somewhere and spread like a festering sore. People have caught on to my discovery of this demented renovation job and feel the same way as I do, about the problems it creates. There was some talk in the media for an International Building Code, learning off each other with 2021 upon us, some how we go to do more environmental friendly buildings across the board and guide lines to not have the wrong people messing with original building design.

             The image in this posting is called "Bring Home Supply Lines", I studied a mule image and sketched it off the walls while in my prison cell being passed through the Courts under the mental health act. I decided to post this work of art for my second posting in the month of January, to comment what is essential products during the lock down in Quebec, Canada. At first we got to poll our selves athe pandemic bit for what we need to survive the Premiers lock down while working together at home or in the office.

            My wish starts starts with tea towels and hand towels, we are washing our hands more often and having to dry them with towels for dishes and hands. This is essential for some people like my self, working from home with my company, I would like to add and improve the office by purchasing a printer scanner to work more at home while still dealing with my business contacts such as my printer for business cards and office supplies/services. 

            Art can be a profession, hobby or therapy in lock down. I have been doing more art and hooking up in zoom with a group working together and I am still eager to be in zoom with others. Art supplies, is it essential yes and no, I am using up art supplies and I would like to have an effective way to restock. even if ordering for door side pick up, when I am in that area for a another forced meeting one on one. I would be using Montreal public transport all the way there and back home. To book purchase and pick up, limiting travel from my home by pre-planning my affairs with others more effectively. With tap services of my bank card, I could be tracked through the bank records in case of corona-19 virus spread in what could become hot zones like any where else.  I buy my bus tickets with my bank card, with these items being made compatible for tracing, it is a thought, others have air miles which I do not  have for purchases. I am still using my hospital card in a roll-a-dex when at the hospital for my psychiatric treatment plan as a mental health consumer, this could be automated more as I am tracked through the different hospitals for each specialty of our various hospitals on the island of Montreal. To down load Canada's virus app, my contract is to be renewed in February, I could up grade my phone for the Canada's virus app, it is only on my chomebook. Right now my phone does not have the ability to down load the virus app, and I got to renew my contract with signing a new one, communication equipment, how do we handle it in government guide lines Same light I need a new soap container and tooth brush case for oral hygene .They are not required items list, but they are on my wish list. How do we handle meeting one on one that need a signature. I have to do it in mental health, signing paper work for my treatment plan after being arrested and working with a team of medical professional  to get through my mental health issues. I have paper work to sign for probate court while working on Mum's estate, to get her last year of taxes done and paying fines and last year of taxable income. Then there is inheritance tax kicking into the Provincial budget when I get through probate Court. How do I do it in lock down ?

            There was the old issue when bank cards first came out, that it would become the devil's money, unaccountable, revelations as deemed by certain believers. Simple way going in debt with bank cards, now it might help us as a saving device. The Montreal Bus pass, could, for those that are willing, be in a pilot project see if tracing bus,metro,walk Montrealers  and spending, helps determine the spread or control of the corona-19 virus. For the price of the opus pass, I would be willing right now to pay for a up graded that costs more, it is a thought that I am not alone with ideas, I am taking a positive out look for innovation and technology that could be done, to help out the public at large.  Keeping one's wallet sterilized with bank card bus pass, medical card etc, cell phone is another thing to keep clean, while handling lock down. 

            We have to stand by our elected officials and medical Doctors during the pandemic.  The people of Quebec have to hold the Premier in good faith handling restrictions, as we work with our politicians and Doctors, such that they hold us in good faith to be responsible citizens following the Premier's lead, while he gets us all we need to survive the lock down together. Enterprise as small as me, still pays goods and service tax buying office supplies along with artist and engineering tools. I backed every Premier once they were elected, radio commentary about what I wrote of Quebec politics, I listen to the Premier and follow him on the News. I know I got to have some guide lines to get out and keep occupied at home as a mental health consumer. I have phoned certain Politicians and elected officials in the past and present , somehow trying to improve the system I know as a sixty year old male.
