HHGTTG

I finished the first book I have read in 7 years tonight

Visitor

And that Sam fella phoned me and he is coming here later this afternoon

Good lord, yes he came here and pissed about. Again I feel that I am meeting him for the first time...

Broken

I went to make myself a pot of coffee and my coffee maker fell apart. I thought "Sh*t" but with some exploration I was able to put it back together while standing in the kitchen!!

AM

9.15 this morning, a proper lie in

Check

And I have just spoken to Freya and I was correct, she said she was coming a day early this week (today) as she is going to a camp tomorrow.

Camp ~ but good lord, she must be beginning to get a life of her own as a grownup..... I think I met Julia on a camp originally

Gosh, Freya was here, we had quality time again, I am restarting to make friends

Shop

So in a bit I am off to (More Reason To Shop At) Morrisons to get my weeks shopping, I have written a list and put it in my pocket

And not on the list was "soup" but I bought a can anyway on impulse but good lord, I can't recall eating any soup in the years since my accident, but it was delicious today

Less lie in

Awww 7.00 this morning......

4pm

And I didn't sit in my wheelchair until after 4 o'clock this afternoon, so all day I have been walking with no stick

Dead

And I only found out today that Kirsty MacColl died a terribly accidental death in 2000

And...

And I heard a concept on the radio today that I was unaware of. Can someone tell me more about them?

Fsck it

So every time I stand up and walk I am thinking "Shit, it's too hard." but fsck it, I don't need to do it, I can be a cripple forever. Or I can continue this relearning process until it becomes easier

No, no, no

They tried to make me go to Rehab, but I said "No, no, no"

Right hand

And I am using my right hand to help me type today and it is working. QWERTY are left handed and UIOP etc are my right hand and it isn't a great deal slower, but it still f**king hurts

Lie In

In order to stay asleep tomorrow morning and therefore have a lie in I am staying up later than usual tonight

And hoo~f*c*ing~ray I woke up earlier this morning but was able to go back to sleep and I didn't wake up until 8.20 ~ a lie in

Bed

And today I succeeded in changing my bed by myself. It was the first time in more than 7 years I have succeeded in changing my quilt cover. The first time, obviously I am getting better. And better and better......

Stickless

"without my stick" is a bit important. More than a bit, it's very important

2pm

So today I abandoned my walk everywhere at 2pm. It is the most I have walked without my stick by a factor of 20 or 30 or more

Walkies

Well I got up this morning and walked into the kitchen, made breakfast, pushed the trolley to the table, walked from there when I had finished sat down in my 'puter chair and now looking at my PC. Wheelchairs, who needs 'em?

So I walked into my bedroom, looked at my box of washing, thought, sat myself down in my wheelchair, carried my washing to the machine, put it on, then returned myself and the wheelchair to my bedroom, parked it and walked back out

AND more to the point everywhere that I am walking this morning I am doing it without my 'stick

Sigh

7.15 s'morning.....

I don't think I will get a taxi to Waverley Stores today, all that is on my shopping list in veg which at a guess I will look for in Morrisons when I go there on Monday

Dinner

And tonight I made myself a small dinner as I had so much lunch
