Springtime Sunday

 I did it! I was worried that I was going to have issues transferring into my old chair that I just got back from the shop this morning. This would be the first morning since I got the chair that I transfer by myself. I know that sounds weird but it just seems that everything is such a challenge these days that nothing works the way that it used to. And I am so freaked out at how different my chair feels now that I'm having to relearn everything it seems like it's almost defeating. Happily however I was able to make the transfer and even later get my shorts on though it was very difficult and challenging but I was able to get my shorts on and one shoe and my shirt so I was presentable by the time it was to go to breakfast. So I guess it was a good morning even though my goal was to get up at 5:30 as opposed to the usual 6:00 a.m. just because I wanted to make sure I had this extra time frame and it served me well. It was good having breakfast with Mark this morning the kids didn't make it but that's all right I think I kind of wear them out to a certain degree anyway. They can only take the old man and small degrees I totally understand that. Sadly, today was not as warm as yesterday and I guess that's okay but I sure enjoyed being out yesterday's Heat. Today the clouds moved in and we did have some good rain in the evening but there was Sunshine off and on during the day but I elected finally just to go in and spend the rest of the day watching my old favorite Marvel movies which I ended up doing to my enjoyment. Later on in the day I ended up visiting with Shelly on the phone which was good to have visited with both my kids today and certainly made me appreciate the Sunday evening.

I think we're in the middle of a low pressure system now and I don't have a lot of faith for the upcoming week as far as warm weather and getting out and doing anything of any value. Luckily I don't have to go into the office this week as far as assist, ink goes so I plan to lay low hang around the area and enjoy the apartments as much as I possibly can. Weather may be just inclement enough that I can use my movie card and take in some walk-in theater movies. That would be one way to get through a stormy afternoon particularly now that I'm in a chair that I trust the batteries to be there for some time as opposed to what I was in. Maybe this would be a good week to also increase my liquid level fluid levels. Oh that's another issue as well. I seem to have more difficulty in trying to catheterize myself in the chair, when I'm dressed then before I had the repairs done. I do not know why this would be certainly seems to be the case. I'm trying not to let any of this get me down but it's sometimes a bit of a battle. I just got off the phone with Michelle and we will talk about issues we're having as far as Aging in place and being able to do what we once did a lot easier.
