May Day 2014



Like a script, like a schedule May began today as a beautiful, clear and warm morning followed by a spectacular day of calm breezes temps in the 60's a perfect day. I of course botched the morning by staying up till 2:00 am this morning ( stupid !). I did not even get up until 10:00 am—the morning gone and all the things I could do. I plan to change that behavior getting to bed by ten and waking by six a.m. to get the most of my conscience day.

Now that I am not going to Wellness, I must be vigilant of my time and not waist time as I have a tendency to do. I have so much more time to fill, its easy to do nothing. I continue to be somewhat faithful to my workout schedule. I spinning at least three days a week as I did when I was going to Wellness and lifting (rickshaw) at least two days a week. Once I get the rickshaw in a more accessible spot I may press more. I am anxious to get something I can use as a rowing machine. I still peruse KSL.com to see if a cheap used home gym might be available—still if I were to find such a device where would I keep it? I am deluding myself in to thinking I could keep the machine out on the deck and use it there during the warm, hot and dry months, and keep a tarp or something over the machine when I was not using—again what would I do come winter season?? I have also just about decided to return to the Senior Center and force myself into their weight room and make that resource available to me—and others in wheelchairs. Am I BEING too redundant ? Have you all heard this rant before? How do I move on. I also fear being at home the mount of time I am I am now have the experiences to keep a blog populated. Oh well, OI think the real challenge is to just keep writing and the content will follow.

Alan K., a figure from my past has actually reached out to me lately, via Facebook and we are going to have lunch sometime next week. I am looking forward to spending time with Alan to see how to old crips are settling into old age. Alan is a para and of course Al is a lot more physical then I am but I think we still have commonalities and a shared history of no little color. Once I have lunched with Al, I then have a number of other friends I also wish to lunch with-- these are guy in wheelchairs, guys with disabilities I have a shared history, people I feel are really interesting and have interesting stories.

Dianne has really been working hard on our computers cleaning them up, ridding them of viruses and kidnapping bugs. She has done great and impressive job she even has my scanner working again which means I can get back to the Image project which really excites me. We also have to get back into the garage, to do some cleaning and arranging and allow me to get back workbench and hook project.


I love May. May gives me such hope...
