Time she flies when you're having fun!

Today is Monday and it's warm in Winnipeg! It's only -5C outside although today it is pretty overcast....not typical Winnipeg winter weather.

So my MPI adjuster finally authorised an Occupational Therapist (o/t) to come help me with my place. Install grab bar in my bathtub so that I can FINALLY get in and out of the tub safely. Have I mentioned how much balance issues SUCK?!?!

The o/t in turn sent in her organisational nazi to help me deal with the three years worth of paper accumulation in my apartment as well as the general disorganisation. One of the worst things for me since the accident is the inability to organise. So the organisation nazi was here 3 days last week and we accomplished a lot. Sadly it wore me right out. The guy to install the bath grab bar came on Friday morning but his drill shaft bent so he couldn't finish. He was hoping to come back Saturday morning but since I normally go to synagogue I said no. A couple of hours later though I realised I was so wiped that synagogue was not going to happen so left a message that he could come but he didn't make it.

Saturday night I went out with a childhood friend (Heather McCabe for those who know her!!!) from Terrace who I just discovered is living about a 3 minute drive from me! We had a blast. Then she came to the gym with me yesterday. This morning I was so tired still that I didn't go to the gym but I will use my exercise bike here at home. One of my physiotherapy appointments (the ugly vestibular physio!) was cancelled this morning so just have my 'feel good' physio at noon.

I downloaded a 30 day trial of a programme for my computer today called 'Big Oven' and I'm hoping that it does what I think it will. It is a programme that will help me build my menus, display recipes (my own and theirs!) as well as build my shopping list from the menu. I am really excited about using it. It also says it is available for iPhone so I'm hoping it might work on my iTouch as well. That would be great because I would have my menu & shopping list with me all the time. The link if you would like to try it to is right here!

Well I'm off to use my bike and get ready for physio!

Have a great day everyone!

January 5th, 2010

This is another one of those days where random thoughts flit through my brain but my brain doesn't seem to be fully turned on today, so not so much luck catching them! This week I set my alarm clock for 7:00 a.m. and have managed both days to get up at that time. Then both yesterday and today I was at the gym by 8:00 a.m. and out by 9:30! With the brain being out of sync this morning it was more difficult to want to be there but going to the gym has become such a habit that it really wasn't an option. So off I went. Came home and picked up a couple of things for Leo then went to a doctor's appointment. After that I dropped off the things to Leo and came home. Right now I am waiting for an occupational therapist to turn up with her organisational person in tow.

Well I am off to make myself a coffee now. Then maybe have a short nap! ;)

talk to you later
