Tenacity

I felt like I was playing hooky today. I got a call yesterday afternoon indicated that there would not be a assist meeting today so I would not have to go in to the city to meet with a group to give away some funds. The excuse giving me was that there weren't enough request for support to meet as a group to evaluate. I don't know if this is entirely true but you didn't need to twist my arm as kind of excited to stay in this part of the country for today. The only real thing I had to do was to head over to the bank and get some operating cash. I like to keep a couple hundred bucks at home in cash for just the little things that you need cash for or helps whatever my thing is like when you order pizza you pay for the order in Cash add a little tip for the driver Etc.


However before I was able to get to that piece of liberation I need to get dressed this morning. I really wanted to do something this morning with the time that I had but it seems like my body had another idea. For some reason today I was not able to quickly dress in fact it took me I would say maybe an hour and a half to get dressed. I think part of the issue was I should have just stopped but I realized that I had my legs in the wrong holes of my shorts and started over again but I thought that for I don't know how long before I finally realized my pants are on backwards and I needed to start all over again. I'm afraid by that point in time I was so Twisted in my chair that when I tried to raise my leg to cross it I wasn't able really to do that. Mind you this was after I got my shoe on this morning and was putting on my shorts or trying to. I wasn't able to raise my leg high enough to Cross by other leg so I could put the shirts on and then put the shorts on my other leg then pull everything up. I got the shoe on my right foot really without incident or problem it was only after I put my right foot or tried to get it up with one of my sticks and my foot lifter. Usually this goes along real well in fact I got my shoe on the right foot backwards at first only after 10 or 15 minutes I realized this then started all over again this is when I got really dicey and I just could not lift my leg up. I'd been able to do the shorts this second time and actually get my two of my one foot it was the other foot that I couldn't raise high enough to cross my legs and usually this is not an issue but today it was. I think I was sitting in scattywampus in my chair and really get my legs up high enough so I can slide into my shorts. I think it took me at least 45 minutes to get dressed this morning when usually it only takes about 5 to 10 minutes for me. This really spooked me actually I was nearly exhausted by the time I had finished this task and I did finish it independently. I think they shorts were pulled to the side a little bit but didn't seem to be a matter of a problem. Once I'd gotten dressed it was like a little after 12:00 noon and I headed out over to the bus stop going inbound and waited and finally the bus arrived. Once I got to my credit union I got in this tremendous line which again I also thought it would take forever but finally they moved forward and I got my cash that I needed. When I was checking my mail on my email I noticed an email from my dentist talking about the insurance company that paid as much as they were going to and I still owed a couple hundred bucks for work that have been done earlier this year. Actually it was 300 bucks and some change. So I need to stop at the dentist office which I did and got better information on debt that I owed. I eventually went across the street and got my credit card and called the credit card information into the front desk of my dentist's office and set up a payment schedule. Honestly I thought I'd already done this. I nearly put 5 Mi on my power chair today it was a good day a lot more busy than I intended…
