Well it's 7:30pm and it's raining bad, strong winds but nothing like the US Eastern Coast. They're getting hit so bad. Wouldn't want to be anywhere near it. As for me the recent storms in my life are at low tide. Had a wonderful busy Monday. Took someones volunteer shift this am and attended my monthly Disability Advisory Committed Meeting at the brand new Rec.Centre. It was actually quite fun and funnby since I became very shakey and unstable before the Tour of the new building to see if there were any disability issues needing attention. Since my scooter is more or less put away for the winder I arrived via cab and quickly realized I was in trouble. Went to the main lobby Desk to see if they had a wheelchair onsite. I was shocked when told that they didn't have one anywhere within this huge sports complex where injuries of many types will definitely occur but no require ambulance intervention. Our group met with the CEO of the complex and was mentioning I would have to sit out the review session and was surprised that there was no wheelchair. The best they could get was a water chair to move people in/out of the pools. It worked but was very uncomfortable. Like sitting on a plastic commode. Needless to say I was able to table a motion to recommend they purchase a chair and have it housed somewhere near the main reception for easy access if required.
Totally captivated by CNN coverage of the Huge storm on the American Eastern Coast. Beyond comprehension - the magnitude of it. I'm trying hard to get organized for tomorrows trip. It's just not getting up early and taking a 3hr car ride. I have to get all my meds organized & packed, Insulin packed on ice...get food for breakfast,lunch,dinner and 3 snacks. ensure I have all insulin/pump supplies in case of any type of failure, pack winter coat/boots/mits/hat in case of car troubles etc or we can't make it home and God only knows & will hopefully remind of anything else I might need. Needless to say going anywhere far away from home doesn't happen too often in my life anymore.
Well deana, all in all this was a really good busy day. We feel very satisfied with what was accomplished today and will rest nicely tonight. Still lots to do to get ready for tomorrow but feeling really happy. Until then....sleep good, have a safe trip and enjoy. Most of all Deana - do not fight or argue with Glen & Mom. Breath deeply for a good number of seconds before responding to anything feeling uncomfortable. If I can keep that front and centre things can't be anything but Great ...
