I'm changing laundry day from Sunday to Monday! I just can't seem to get motivated today. I did book my trips for the week though! That too was troubling though. Wednesday I'm going to Applebee's for rec! I know I've taken "the ride" there before but it wasn't in my destinations so I had to use the landline to do this trip! It took 4x as long calling than it took doing two trips online!

Today I scooted to the store 1st thing after I had my shower and coffee :)! Then I got in to watching season five of Jag! That is so fascinating to me! I guess its cause it is all about the truth! I'm always interested in the truth, I'm an honest man I expect the same from people I come in contact with!

I'm working on processing all that has gone on the last few days! I'm  finding it very difficult to remember exactly what I did :(! I do know one thing. This survivor has gutta give himself a lot of credit for getting to all the places I've gutta be! I don't drive yet so I'm dependent on "the ride" to provide me transportation! That entails setting up an account with "the ride", making sure my account has enough value in it to be able to pay for all the trips I need week to week and at $3.15 a trip one way it goes fast! I can either call a toll free # or do it online through "the rides" web site! Doing it online I've gutta have the places I'm going stored in my account! This new site seems to be very user friendly! It saves all the places I've been in my destinations! I live by my pocket calendar! If it's not written in my pc chances are I won't book a trip for an appointment!  I've been at this for a long time n...

I've been to hics and I had the group peer tbi! HH is doing very well running this group! Today we were asked "what do you say when asked what's it like living with brain a injury"? I shared what I say about my balance issues! It's like walking around while an earthquake is happening! It just seems like the ground or floor is constantly moving! I also find it very difficult to be sure of anything! Carmen (my homemaker) also came today!

This survivor has gutta get his tail going. I've got heavy chore coming at 11.30am and KJ and I think AZ is gonna come too! I need to go to the store too. I'm gonna attempt to do the store first thing this morning, gets my anxiety running wild!

I've been busy today! I've got heavy chore coming tomorrow to clean my couches so I had to get all the stuffs off and find homes for everything! This was a lot more than I thought! Being on my feet and keeping my balance was very neuro fatiguing! Carrying things to other areas in my apartment also did me in! Here I am focusing on not dropping the things I'm carrying while also focusing on my balance was a very difficult thing for this survivor to get done! I'm pleased to announce NO falls though! I've just got a few things I've still gutta get!

I said "Alexia, good morning" and she replied "today is earth day"! I didn't know there was such a day! This echo is so good for the brain. I don't have to do a Wg's run today cause I've got a peapod order coming btw 4-7pm tonight! My meds are all good too :)! I should spend some time on the battery installation on my bike and scooter! It seems every two weeks now I have to make a peapod order!
