Boy did I luck out. A day
of sunshine nevermind the fact that the temperatures dropping again,
it was nice being out in the sunshine made my day. I don't know why I
felt so empowered today but is willing to take some risk that I
usually don't do. It's not that I'm frustrated with my CPU that's
nonfunctioning which needed to be taken in to the dealer because I
have a perfectly good working computer, this laptop. It really does
meet all my needs but I felt like I just want to get the big boy
taking care of. Mark Anthony has promised to take the CPU in what he
can get some time. I don't know when that will be and I need to be as
independent as I can be and if I can figure out a way to take this
box in I'm going to do it and I did..
With the help of the Home
health person , Annette unplugged the computer and set the box on my
lap just to see how much the box weighed and could I tolerate the
weight on my lap. The weight was inconsequential the box itself is
fairly awkward but I could see that I would be out of the able to
hold the box as I motored in my chair. This is not ideal so I found
one of my long bungee cords and with the help of Anne the social
worker from upstairs, we secure the CPU to my power chair and to me
and all was good. I was totally surprised how well this whole
operation went. The only drawback I had was the CPU block my vision
of my feet and try to negotiate this big old power chair on and off
of city sidewalks as well as UTA buses was a exercise in faith and
the personal conviction that I could do it. I'm waiting now to get
the report of how sick my system is. They should fix it however
that's one of their big sales points is that you buy one of their
computers, which they build, and they supported forever we shall see.
I felt so good about how
well this project went I decided I'd go to the big-box store Cosco.
And so thankful that I don't have a lot of room to carry stuff on my
lap. Means I can only buy so many things and they have to be small
but still I never tire of looking at all the stuff that people can
buy it just overwhelms me. I felt like I had to purchase something I
didn't do anything on twice just because the caloric intake would be
hideous. I probably shouldn't have but I did I purchased a pretty
good sized jar/model of mixed nuts – – the expensive ones trying
to get a wedding or something. These nuts are risky business when it
comes to losing weight I shall just have to be judicious. I even got
a cute little box from the box been to carry my nuts home in. The
nuts cost 15 bucks. When I got the check out surrendered my card I
was informed that my card had expired and they just want to add the
cost of the new year onto my purchase? What could I say? The shopping
trip cost about 80 bucks I'm good for year. Sunshine and American
opulence what better way to start the week?
