Sunday breakfast as usual

 It was good to get back into the routine this morning of breakfast at the local restaurant. It's the same place that we go to every week but things have been sort of mixed up the last couple weeks cuz of the holiday season and such. But today felt like just natural stuff except the grandkids didn't show which is cool. That gave my son and me time to ourselves to visit which is cool as well. We are sucked in Cloud wise but it was fairly warm for January and so rolling down to the restaurant wasn't a problem I didn't even wear a jacket just a long sleeve shirt and a muffler around my neck. The scar for Muffler does keep me warm but the same time I use it to mop up any sweat that might accumulate because of stress my body's feeling somewhere. I think I've discussed this a little bit before is that when the spinal cord injury is having pain below the lesion level it often shows itself as sweating around the neck and head. I don't sweat a lot but just enough that that makes the collar damp and in the winter time that's a drag because then that does feel like it's pretty cold but if I have something to absorb the sweat then it's not so bad. And most the time I don't sweat at all I just have that as precautionary tool in case I do need to drive my neck. The restaurant we go to is a D's restaurant and it's okay but it's just basic basic and when you've gone to the places many times as we have I think we're getting a little bit tired of the joint except for it's convenience. There is another restaurant just down the street from these but it's a Hispanic restaurant but they seem to have some sort of breakfast menu and we're thinking of maybe trying that next week to see how well that goes. My son says it's just breakfast fixings rolled up in a taco of some sort and he's probably right but at least it would be something different and something which might be a little bit of fun to try. Aside from the trip down to the restaurant I did stop on the way back to my apartment at the coffee shop that I usually go to on Saturday mornings. I didn't go yesterday because I was having such a problem trying to dress myself that took so long that I had just lost any interest in going out after I'd gotten dressed. This morning however I had enough time in the weather was nice enough that I did Veer over to the coffee shop and got a large cup of coffee which would last me the whole day so I don't have to make coffee till tomorrow morning before Melissa gets here. I really didn't have any problems getting dressed this morning. I did however get up 15 minutes earlier than I do usually on Sunday mornings just in case of things did go awry I would be able to build a little extra time into the dressing procedure. But I was careful on everything especially making sure I was seeing all the way to the back of my chair and not slanting forward which makes it very difficult to cross my legs to put on my pants and my shoes so that went along very well and I was ready to go half an hour before I need to leave the apartment so all is well this Sunday and I'm fairly pleased as I slide into the new year.
