Today's goes so fast for me. It's becoming a test to get all the things I want to get done finished in the day's time. I think a lot of it's time management on my part and I can do a lot better job of my time management but that's a lot of work too. Without personal transportation like a van or a car, I have to rely on public transit. I don't mind public transit I like public transit but it just takes a major part of your day maybe to do one thing unless you have really good planning skills. Today I did not have my regular meeting in Salt Lake so I took a moment and ran across a couple streets on the bus system to my Credit Union. It would be just a 5-minute drive at that but on the bus I caught one bus to a transit station then switch to another which took me right to the credit union. In the credit union I got the money I needed for kid letters and such in reverse the situation getting back home probably 2 hours later or shade longer. That's okay it's not like I had a bunch of other things going today. I really am thankful to have this convenience it just takes time. Then this afternoon I spent a lot of time home I was having a cleaning person come over for a little bit to spruce up the place and that never happened because she overslept and then she was not feeling very well and that's okay too it just eats up the whole day if you know what I mean. I was able to do some serious reading on the novel I'm reading right now which is good for me. I'm planning to come out of this summer probably reading more than I've ever done before and that's good thing for me. I like to see myself as a reader. Mix in that day now with an hour I spent on the arm bike trying to get in my 200 minutes for the week and then just working out trying to get some of my exercises done that the recent OT experience has set for me to accomplish. And I guess I don't really have to do things like the arm bike or the OT experience which is this group of exercises I've already written about but it's good for me and does me good and I think keeps my life in fairly decent shape. I also tried to increase my liquid consumption today. I woke early this morning realizing I don't drink as much liquid as I need to. I complained about how difficult it is to consume as much beverage which should be water as I do. My urine has been pretty dark recently which means I need to increase my flow. Only this morning that I really realize how important this is and it really is for my own good that people have urged me to increase my liquid consumption. Diane is a great water Drinker I really admire her ability to consume the quantities of liquid that she does. I've always fought her when she asked me to do the same. It's really difficult for me to pee many times in my chair with the catheter and the bags and such but perhaps that's what I need to do most and drink more. I'm trying to it's coming I just have to keep in my four mind that it only helps me to drink the amount of water that I need to be drinking on all levels but particularly the urinary level. I haven't been producing as much urine as I would have liked to lately and I probably should have brought it up when I visited with the urologist yesterday. I just couldn't bring myself to do it and I will continue to increase or try to increase the quantities of liquid I ingest and hope for the besta
