I'm. going to another mechanic breakdown of things that I own now not only is my bed in Dire Straits with only one power system working with which is the one that raises the bed and lowers the bed now my power chair break on the left side that locks the armrest in disintegrated on me last night around 12:30 a.m.. there is just a knob of the plastic left that allowed me to just barely push on it hard enough to dislodge the locking mechanism and let me lift the arm up so I can transfer into bed. I was finally able to do this around 1:35 a.m. I didn't even read as I try to every night before dropping off to sleep. I was really concerned that maybe I was going to have to sleep in my chair - - which I have never done and all the time that I've had my chair. Luckily my grandson-in-law came over today and was able to use one of my fishing line things that I use to make zipper poles to Fashion the loop on the offending piece of my chair that locks the arm lock into place. You'll still be a challenge to undo that with the zipper pole baby a lot easier than what happened last night and I'll be able to get to bed at a great time tonight maybe catch up on some sleep.
The kids, Jasmine and Jackson came over after breakfast at the restaurant to work on my door as well as to put up the Christmas tree in the apartment. I have a very small Christmas tree but it's very cute when they get done with it and it certainly helps me get into the spirit of the season. Jasmine went right to work cutting up the construction paper making the designs for putting the front door together but she did a really great job. I've included a picture of the front door hopefully you can see the work the two of them did. I tried to get an image of Jackson but didn't have much luck in that area. They probably spent at least 2 hours here working on this project it was certainly fun to have them here and we certainly sort of got into the Christmas mood though I neglected to put on Christmas Carol's and stuff but we had a really good time. I plan to keep the Christmas door up until maybe the first or second week in January when I'll start a spring Motif on the door hopefully. Maybe I'll get all artsy fartsy for Valentine's Day that might be fun.
So I have two goals at least for this upcoming week one of them of course is to get the piece for this wheelchair fixed so make it easier to get in and out of bed and the second one which might be more intense or long-term is to send away for the replacement motor for my bed. I just have to follow through with the information that Mark Anthony got for me last week and send away for the peace. We think we can get the item for about $160 instead of 400 which would be much easier for me to palette that's for sure
