Wednesday words

 Melissa was late today I'm certainly not going to hang the fact that I hardly did anything today on that but still I couldn't do anything until I had gotten done with my morning regimen. Once  again now that the cold dictate my day and I really didn't go out any more than I had to. So there was no trips over to the market or any bus trips to speak of. Actually now that I think about it I'm just totally wrong because I did go somewhere today it just didn't take a whole lotof travel to get there at least in the power chair. I had my toenail clipping appointment today and that's pretty much what drove my whole day. I was rather proud of myself because I had made an appointment with the senior travel program for our transportation over to my appointment. add v xBecause the appointment was so late in the day there was no Transportation back for me so I had to take public transit back which is okay but made me have to be out into the cold a bit more than I anticipated. Unfortunately it wasn't as cold as I thought it was going to be but still it was pretty chilly if you're going to be sitting out there waiting for the bus. Because I made my appointment for the next toenail clipping, which is going to be in March now, I didn't have to wait around once the toenail clipping was finished so I can dash out go up to the corner across the street and get to the bus stop heading back to the apartments. If I had had more time I would have done some shopping at the big Smith's on the corner on 90th South but as of where I just wanted to make sure that I didn't miss the bus cuz on that leg of the Redwood Road bus trip it's 1 hour headways or 1 hour between each bus and it's too cold to hang out the bus stop for an hour. As it were the bus was about 10 or 15 minutes late for whatever reason and it was a bit chilly before the bus finally showed up. We're not gone more than one stop when there's another person in a power chair larger than mine sitting on the side of the road waiting to come in. There's a little bit awkward but I've been on that situation enough that I know that it'll work itself out you just have to keep working on the goal this case was to get the Kid on the bus and then to the tie downs. He was driving a big chair big power chair I think even bigger than mine. I didn't really speak to him more than a couple of Whispers here and there. The guy was quite involved disability wise and I was kind of impressed that he was out there duking it out with public transit and getting to know where he wants to go. He had to come on the bus backwards cuz there was no room for him to turn around with me in the other seating position. I hope I get a chance to see this guy again. He was a pretty high quad he was pretty well Decked Out as far as heavy jacket gloves and items needed to work different facets of the world as a quadriplegic. Like I said I was impressed this guy's out there riding the main line by himself in total winter regalia. I hope he got to where he was going without incident. I did, without incident, and I just totally grateful
