Presents!




I've gotten to Christmas presents already and both of them had to do with food which is great because nothing I love more than getting Christmas food packages even if they're from major corporations. What's good and if not bad at the same time is that I probably should wait until Christmas morning to open these goodies but I don't have the whatever it takes to wait that long especially in the Bleak Days running up to Christmas. I got a box of candies from one of the volunteer programs I work with are one of the programs I volunteer at. I like to leave the candies open for not only myself but for anyone who happens to wander into my apartment usually my caregiver. Then today I got a major food box from some trendy sausage and cheese operation. You know the kind two or three different kinds of cheeses, small sausages usually crackers lots of toppings like hot mustard and things of that nature. It was on my door when I came home or leaning against my door. I truly like these but cannot believe how much inflation has miniaturized the selections. In the old days the beach sticks are pretty large as well as the other treats that were inside these types of gifts. Now they're just tastes of what could be but I'm not complaining. It's probably better that you just have a small introduction to The Taste rather than eating the whole thing. It's fun to have these options laying around especially if you need a treat of one sort or another to get you through a movie or television series that you're binging at any given time. I will set this out on the table as well so that my caregiver will have more options to choose from.


I had kind of planned on going out and doing something today but after the caregiver got done with me cleaned and dressed I pretty much just hung around the apartment complex in my unit and watching my flat screen. I did take a break to work out on my own bike which is always a pleasure oh yes today is Wednesday that means it's wash day so I did go down and get my clothes out of the dryer- - I have my caregiver through the clothes in the dryer as she leaves and I go and collect them once they're dried to fold and put back into place- - brought them back and folded and hung the clothes for the next week. I felt that was enough to justify binging on the Umbrella Academy some more. I just have a few more seasons left then I'll move on to some other series that I've really enjoyed. I'm still agonizing over what to do regarding my electric bed. My son looked at the bed and found some information that when I check it out I'm not sure of what I'm looking at. I need to find a actuator that will fit onto my bed that'll raise it up and down Etc but what it's showing on the internet that should fit very bad doesn't look like it would and it's about $400 and I don't want to make that kind of a mistake I don't think I can. I wish there was somebody I could ask about this that really knew this kind of stuff and I probably is I just haven't stumbled on them yet. I may have my son take it over and finish the project. I like to tell people that if I had my hands I could do all this stuff but as I remember my life before the accident I'm just not good at this kind of stuff as far as fixing things up even though I think I could do it I don't think I have the self-confidence to pull it off so I was never good at sales…
