I decided to call the Social Security Administration to tell them about my eye. The problems seemed to reoccur. I don't know what they will say about me qualifying for disability benefits.
By the way, this blog does show a lot of "workings" ("behind the scenes" details or "under the hood" information). It reminds me of workings submitted with math exams. Feel free to comment on my work.
I am working on several books to be published. One will provide more information about me and my high school experience. Another will include three poems on President's College. (See post on three items that say so much: https://fahmeenaodetta.blogspot.com/2026/08/three-items-to-say-so-much.html). There is also a book on luck. It will look into my weird coincidences. I like how the projects are coming along.
I have a reputation for having weird coincidences. See weird coincidences on this page.

The status of my FOIA Request is 'On Hold - Need Info/Clarification'. I don't have details on the clarification needed. It could be that there are questions about the meetings held to discuss the work needed and make certain decisions before preparation of the requirements document. Maybe the meeting minutes/summaries can't be found. However, Outlook does store some information on meetings - meeting date, description, invitees. That information would be okay.
I held meetings with other members of the requirements team. (There was also editing in Word using track changes). I missed the meeting with the Government Requirements Lead. I could have held meetings with Developers to have input into the information provided to users (how error produced, how to fix) so that there is no need for a Developer to assist the user directly.
It was clear the writing/explanations could make a difference. I saw that sort of thing at other jobs too.

This #ThrowbackThursday I remember the custard icicles I enjoyed when I was in Linden. I saw the icicles offered for sale in a packet (about 10 in the packet) and wanted to try it.
I know a whole lot about icicles. As a little girl, I saw icicles being made. I enjoyed different flavors. I watched customers (of my great aunt's) enjoy the icicles as well.
There is a special poem about icicle production in my book. Production process in the home. There is quite a lot of that in Guyana. I witnessed some of it.
RIP Aunt Magnel

It was a whirlwind. One emergency room to the next. I ended up in Baltimore. Then one examination after the next until things improved. I appreciated that I could see eye specialists without much fuss/notice at Johns Hopkins Hospital. I made the decision to stay close to the world renowned Wilmer Eye Institute. It will be Baltimore for a while. I was dealing with issues anyway.
