It's Monday and I feel lucky. Not lucky
and something greats going to happen but more lucky in that
everything great has happened to me, more or less, so far and I need
to just acknowledge that I'm grateful. I literally rolled in the bed
at night. I'm able to lower my bed to about 6 inches below my power
chair and then with an arm hooked into my trapeze lift up my back
side and then plummet onto the bed. I'm doubly blessed then I sleep
through the night more or less a begin waking about 4 ½ hours after
I tumble into bed. Then I get out of bed. Once again, I raise my bed
– – the electric bed – – to about 4 inches are 6 inches above
my power chair swing my feet and my foot rests then pull myself down
onto the chair again letting gravity do most of the work. Once I'm in
the chair I'm just partially in that I have to power my chair to lean
the whole seating system back and then at a certain point I deploy
the back of my chair which leads me back further allowing gravity to
allow me to pull myself and push myself more straight in my chair.
Seriously, this technology is what makes me independent. I would like
to think I could be independent without all this technology but
something in the back of my mind says no. There was a time when I
could do this in my manual chair no problem at that time is long
gone. So, I am one lucky taco.
It's Monday and I feel lucky. I just
finished my wash for the first part of the week. I watched a close
twice a week usually. If I don't have anything better to do on
Monday. And then on Friday or Saturday depending on what's going on
over the weekend. Just in case I'm lucky enough to go out and do
something with other humanoids want to be looking somewhat
appropriate. I'm lucky because I can load the money onto the change
slots on the machines and then press them.Usually, the money thing
does not come back on its own and I have to use a hook to pull back
on the change slots which basically starts the washer and dryer. I am
fortunate that I still have a number of sticks and manufactured over
the years which allow me to do this facet of my home independence. I
felt this way especially this morning as I happen to enter the
laundry just as my dryer was patient cycle. I used the hook rubber
tipped end to open the door of the dryer. My fingers are not firm
enough to open the doors. I hope the end of the hook in the slot
where fingers usually go and angle the hook so it pries the door
open. I have to be careful here because I have torn a whole door
mechanism off before. They were good to me and I appreciated that
they did not charge me anything for the destruction to the property.
I felt bad more of my destructive nature. Luckily both washer and
dryer front loaders I can pull the wash and dry right out.I pile the
warm mess on top of my lap and take the whole wash back to my
apartment to begin the folding and hanging process.
It's Monday and I feel lucky and
blessed to have this chore out of my way. I still have clothes to
hang But that's okay maybe it will do it tonight. Right now I have to
finish my rickshaw routine and then I'm on hand bike for an hour. I
still might make a salad for dinner I have to use the salad materials
before they all go bad.
It's Monday and I feel lucky I have my
staff coming in tonight to give me a bath in the first proof of the
week how much more lucky can one get?.
