Transportation

This has been a week of discovery. For one, I have had to learn to slow down. I must plan activities throughout the day in small chunks and schedule times to rest. Now I know many of you would look at these times to rest as an opportunity for self-reflection or at least a chance to get your taxes done. Think of it, finally a time when you have to sit. You really can't go anywhere, imagine all of the things on your "to-do" list you could get done! Wouldn't you just love to have just a few days of that? No, instead a friend told me about a series of Vampire Porn books and I am on Book 3. I am not getting my taxes done or any of the other things I should be doing, but I can tell you A LOT about rippling muscles and shoulders that stretch his shirt in an "oh so sexy way..."

I am also testing out all modes of transportation. I can use a cane if it a short walk into a store, the "tennis-ball" walker if I'm not going to be outside, the four-wheeler walker if I have to far (up to a block) and of course let's not forget the Target Scooter. Haven't you always wanted to try that? Well I'm here to tell you; they don't go fast, it makes a very loud beep when going backwards, it's easier than you think to run someone over, and Christmas shopping is not the time to be trying this! Holy Cow there are a lot of people out there! It's funny, some people get out of your way, some seem slightly scared (maybe they have been hit by the scooter already) and then there are the ones that don't actually see you. I wonder if this is what it is like to be short? ;-) It is a strange kind of invisible when using a cane, walker or scooter. Though on a happier note, one guy did flirt with me at Target. Bruce wasn't too sure about that and then you have to wonder why he was flirting with the lady in a scooter, reminded me of the toe guy...

Christmas will be quiet. I plan on staying home and enjoying family and friends from here. I am overwhelmed by all of the love and support I have received. I wish you all Happy Holidays!
