Tuesday's Heat

   

 

I did not have my regular Tuesday meeting today. We're still pretty much doing every other week as far as the volunteer group that I meet with on Tuesdays because of funding issues and end of the year beginning of the year fiscally speaking. So I made use of the time by establishing an appointment with my assistive technology people to do some work on my power chair as well as meeting with a friend for what I thought was lunch and turned out to be coffee. Today was hot. The weather person said it was unseasonably hot but it was near 100° and so anytime you're in that kind of weather riding on concrete and asphalt it's always going to be warm from the bottom up as well as the top down.

I think I slept great till about 3:30 a.m. when I was jolted awake for some reason and I really couldn't get back to sleep. I think I was worried about whether I would be able to get dressed or not since I've been having such a problem with dressing myself of light. I'd like to blame my chair and not myself but in the back of my mind I think it's probably more myself than anything else which is kind of laid to rest when I got to the assistive technology Program and my friend who runs the shop pretty much fixed what I needed as far as my head rest went but also looked at the other parts of the chair that I was worried about and he said it seems to be an okay condition. So it's not going to drop me out in my head or anything like that which I'm afraid that it would. My appointment was at 10:00 a.m. so I was finished by 11:00 then went back to my apartment and wait around till it was time to go to my other appointment. I just figured it was going to be a late lunch and I went to where we usually went and waited until she  showed up. She never showed up . When I finally started texting I remember that I guess that was going to be at the coffee shop Starbucks. So I jumped on the bus and went there and of course it was the wrong Starbucks- - there are two Starbucks on this road and I went to the wrong one as usual. I think I was basically 2 hours late when we finally did link up, spent an hour visiting and such. I was glad to finally be out of the heat and then to the cold air of Starbucks with an iced coffee of some sort. We had a good discussion and had some good ideas which I need to write down. I think about expanding. I don't think I will but what I'm speaking with my friend they always sound like great ideas but when I think about it myself I just can't seem to flush them out. But one never knows I could come up with a great idea and pursue it to the end who knows…?
