I didnt get fancy on dinna tonight,I was hungrey!I just made two nuked ham and swiss sandwiches.:)

Hics was great today!Im tring to remember what we disscussed in groups.I think in our first group we talked about the difference between denile and hope.CmK ran a group,she gave me the url (address)to a web site that could help me fill my time but,do you think I can remember the url,not.I think it was social.com or besocial.com.Ill try em lata.Then we had team building where cmD had us do a trivia game that if you answer a question right you move along a fooball field and eventually get a chance to score!Of cource my team won :)! tomorrow cmD is making a home visit @ 8.30 and grazelle is commin @ 9!

Ive got hics today :).Ive gutta check the place next to hics for a used guitar!I used to play!I want to try again but,as cheaply as possible :).

Casino night was a blast!I played poker all night!I won some and lost some but,on the final hand we were beting big!I had the best hand I had all night!I had a full house,only two threes and three sevens but still a full house!I won the biggest pot of the night :)!

I didnt have a home visit today so I had to find something to occupy my time so I took a cruise to walgreens,a successfull cruise I might add:)!Tonight Im going to hics,casino night,wish me luck!

Dinna was fantastic tonight!I George formaned those steak tips and they were sooooo good!:)The only thing I must change is Ive been using a tereoakie marinade sause,from now on I must buy the terioake sause strait up :)!

I had a great workout at the "y"!At fifty one Im getting stronger :)!

Is there any other thing thats better than the taste of the first cup of coffee in the morning?Well not for me,I injoy waking and getting up for coffee!I not only like waking up cause I can but,the taste of my first cup of french vanilla coffee makes me relax!

Kenny was ova but,he was pressed for time so he couldnt help me with my dvd player :( but,it was great to see him :)!

I paid Kenny to connect my dvd/vcr up but,I cant get it to work for me :(!I want all my speakers connected on my puter.Im just not mobile enough to reach all the wires :(!I took out some steak tips marinading in terioaki sause,maybe he'll stay for dinna,that would be like b 4 my tbi :)!

I was too lazy to get up and get ready for church :( but,Kenny should be commin ova today :)!

Kenny said he was gonna come ova sometime this weekend!I hope he lets me know early cause its already too late today to take out the steak tips I have marinading in terrioakie sauce,his loss.They will taste great using my new forman grill :)!

Ive gutta make a decision on that study!Im thinking I want to do it but,I have to get rid of my bierd :(!My facial hair grows quickly but,shavin everyday is not something I want to do!I have a rechargable bierd trimmer.Maybe if I dont use any of the attachments it will work just like an electric shaver,I definatly not dragging a razzor blade accross my face!I like the five a clock shadow look!Im thinking kinda outload!

Ive been to stop and shop this morning,got some stuff,put it all away!Now I must do all my puter stuff!I think of this like a job cause I get emails everyday from other tbi servivors and care givers and family!I only hope Im helping them!

Its cool to get on my puter and log on to facebook to see how my fellow tbi ers are doing!Ive really got lots of survivors on my friends list :)!

Today Im going to the "y" to workout:)!I think Kenny said he was gonna visit this weekend :).Im sure thats what he said.Im actually sure about something :)!

I had a great day at hics today:)!We had a lady speak to us about a study she is doing with dissabled people.Its kinda like voice recognition software but,it recognizes the muscules you use to formulate words!Its a paid study too!Im thinking bout doing it but,Id have to shave off my beard!I dont know if Im ready to do that!

We went bowling tonight :)!I bowled okay,I got a mark :)!Just a spare but,it still feels good:)!My score was only in the mid seventies but,I had a great time!

Kinda an event filled morning!I had to go to the office to do some paperwork!Special thanks to cmK who accomponied to the meeting :)!I just had to sighn a few papers,I could have done it all alone but,its always good to have a great support like cmK there too :)!

Hics was great today :)!We had regular groups but,in peer tbi we disscussed about becoming totally independant and I believe Ive reached that stage :) but,I still depend on some friends and all my great supports!CmD cant make it tomorrow cause of a passing in the family,Jesus please take good care of her,so cmK is gonna come instead!This will be the first time that she has seen my castle.I take great pride in showing off my place and all my stuff :)!

Im concerd about my dauhter Bri!Ive tried repeatedly texting her even calling her but,no responce!I think maybe shes working but,all day and no responce makes me wonder whats happening!

With all I must live with you would think Id be an unhappy man!I take pride in the FACT,Im living with a tramatic brain injury and Im doing very well :)!

Today Im going to the "y" to workout!I really injoy doing nauhtillis training!I think it helps in many ways.Not only helps to lessen my tremurs but,helps my colesterol level too!

Ive gutta remember what happend today or what I did.I got up for church thanks to my alarm clock,so I went to church this morning and Im glad I did!I always have a great feeling from beechwood cc in Cohasset :)!I used my new george forman grill,only cooked a burger.Next time Ill do steak tips!Fire alarm went off twice today!Everybody is getting real tired of this!Im happy Im using a george foman grill again,I used to injoy that so much before my tbi,now Ive got something back,Im gonna get alot more too!Ive only just begun :)!

Grazelle(my maid) is here,she is going about her business.She always calls the day before,I thought she said 10.30 but,I guess I was confused (go figure) she came at 9.30.Good thing cause my pickup time to go to the "y" is around 11.30!If I can get away without struggling through laundry this week,Im happy :)!

While doing my wash,when I put my cloths in the dryer,put my card in to start it,not any value on my card!I rememberd I got a paper sliped through my door saying the laundry card machine is now by the outside door to the office!The only struggle with that was feeding a bill,money,in the machine!I did it thou,now Im waiting for them to dry :)!

Im doing a wash now,this is the easy part,wash and dry!Then I struggle with FOLDING and putting away without wrinkles!

I got walgreens done without tipping ova :)!

Ive got to get organized!I gutta call Braintree hospital,talk to someone about the driving eval,install the software in my laptop to burn my records to cds,burn my best records to cd,work on my web site,do laundry,go to wallgreens!Thats enough,lets see what I can get done :)!

I think Im gonna have to start to use an alarm clock,at least on Sundays!Needless to say,I didnt get up in time to go to church this morning :(!

Shopping went very well but,putting all my food away turned into a project!I like to freeze my meats in marinade sause!first I had to make room in my freezer,then get out my freezer bags,I guess I didnt lock one tight enough so had to clean up terieokie marinade all ova my freezer!I had to clean my sticky floor too :(!All done now:)!
