New Year's Day!

 It seemed I spent a great part of the day and confusion for some reason I couldn't wrap my head around the fact today was the first of January! I thought yesterday was the first for some reason somehow I transposed New Years Eve into New Year's Day. It was such a comfort and I realized that I in fact wasn't crazy and today was not the second day of January. I think it was Marc Anthony who eventually sent me straight on what day of the week are the year actually it was. Mark sent me an email earlier on indicating that he's back in town and he wanted to meet with me and go out to lunch or something. We eventually did this going over to the Chinese restaurant across the street and it was a little awkward at first because it's one of those places where you have to cook your own food and make your own dinner and stuff after paying an ungodly price to even be there but it was my gift to Mark Anthony so I figured what the heck. He was impressed with it. He's back from Europe and we had a great visit regarding his trip he brought me Christmas gifts for this trip and that was a lot of fun. About candy from different parts of Europe they visited austria, Frankfurt Germany, and a lot of other cities he was able to make contact with and with his friends slash work folks. I'm still not quite sure what his long-term goal is as far as working with these people over the internet and such he's been doing the last couple years but I think it's real important to him to have the Hands-On contact with them and just have the whole thing become real to them and to him. I have to say I'm impressed and it's not just because he's my kid. Anyway, we had a pretty good meal at the restaurant then came home because it looked like the weather was getting very inclement and I could tell that he was really beginning to get tired he's still having to deal with jet lag and getting back to a sleep schedule. I really should have done this blog earlier in the night but I was sort of caught up in watching too much flat screen. Tonight it was the Jazz getting beat once again and finishing watching a movie that I started earlier. So at least I got out to dinner with Mark and Anthony for my New Year's Day that was great and it certainly made me feel like I did something on the holiday and isn't that what I've been trying to do this whole Christmas season. I did visit with Shel briefly when she called Mark and I and we had a good visit.

Had a good session with most of this morning. She was in a good mood and we did a good job with the shower and the toilet session. She also really enjoyed the food in the refrigerator as well. I'm glad she will eat these things because that's the best tip I can give her and I think that's what she says too all she would like for a tip if somebody to feed her. I was also pleased that she sort of jumped in to the lasagna she found in the refrigerator and got a good plate of it so that takes a lot of pressure off me as far as trying to figure out what I'm going to do with that much lasagna. Between she and I it'll be fastly gone or quickly gone. So, it was a good first day of the year and I think hopefully we'll have better days too. If I would have a resolution it'll be at least read one page a day regardless of my situation. I didn't get any physical stuff in today so I'm way behind on my 200 minutes and I don't know if I'll be able to make them up this week but maybe I can try tomorrow. All I've got to do is get my haircut and hopefully that's enough
