Hot Town Summer in the city

What's today's get hotter I'm finding that I'm being less and less comfortable which is very rare. I'm kind of afraid this is the new me I'm becoming. I fear it's the age thing and I'm aging like everybody else and I guess that's a good thing but it sure is weird. This morning I think I woke up around 4:00 and never really did get back to sleep I had to pee but I've not been peeing very much the last couple nights months in the overnight hours. I didn't have my equipment ready and then reach for me too utilize so I just basically tried to lay there quietly and and rest and try to consciousness. I was also dealing with the fact that it was Tuesday and I do have a meeting today in Salt Lake so I didn't want to lose my advantage time wise by going back to sleep maybe sleeping through my time to get up. And again but I feel strange is that even with all this as far as waking up very early I did manage to get to my meeting fairly functional as well as get back home and do my arm bike. I count the day of success if I do at least two things which I think are fairly significant. Today it was my assist meeting and doing my arm bike for an hour.


Another weird thing which I think might be secondary to aging is my problem with dressing myself. Now I just have to build into everything significant more amount of time. Today I never really did get my shorts totally over my right hip. I'm finding this part of my dressing more and more difficult I'm also finding that something is happening to me and I think I'm going out of my chair. This is difficult for me to say by growing out of my chair I think I'm getting so fat that my chair seems to be shrinking on me! I wish that were not the case. This difference in size seems to be affecting everything from crossing my legs and putting my shorts on and my shoes two working my arm bike and not having my body mass get in the way of my arm crank. There's going to come a time I think relatively soon that I'm not going to be able to dress myself anymore. I thought about asking my caregiver how much she would charge just to come around and trust me daily. I could probably do it but it's really going to be a hit on my wealth as I know it. The mass of my wealth is not much but it's all I've got. As far as my shoes go I have just about one the left shoe out the right she was still fairly intact but I think it's time to get another pair I just have a hard time finding shoes with straps as opposed to laces. These kinds of shoes used to be everywhere not anymore. I have seen some shoes online but then it's that whole thing of buying them online and then if they don't work out you have to send it back and that's where I fall down on a lot of my purchases. The process just intimidates me too much. I wish I had somebody in charge of sending things back but certainly make my life much easier. Finally, I'm getting a second wind I didn't think I was going to get one this afternoon or evening shouldn't last long however plan to go to bed relatively early… the talk is cheap...
