I conquered the railroad tracks...

I miss my uncle stopping by at least once a day with one of his crazy stories of what happened to him during the day.  My aunt and him went camping.  Once a year they get together with a bunch of friends and meet in the Fort Bragg area and it sounds like they really have a lot of fun.  My uncle is the kind of person who can go for a walk and come back with anywhere from four to 20 people that he just met for dinner, everybody that he meets is a friend.  I miss seeing my aunt every day too.

On Wednesday Jordan came by to carpet the stairs going up to my mom's place, he did a really good job.  The stairs turned out to be a lot more slippery than we thought it would be.  The dogs slipped a couple of times and I was afraid that somebody else would so we decided to add a runner, it looks great.

A couple of guys that my uncle met at Costco came by to give me a bid on laying some concrete.  It was an open area at the end of the driveway and it's really hard to back out because the driveway is so long so we decide to add a slap of concrete to turn around in the driveway.  They gave us a really good bid and start the next morning, they did a great job and it looks fantastic.  My uncle just went to Costco to get a hot dog and a soda.

On Thursday my mom went San Jose to play cards at the park where we used to live, whenever they are somebody short she fills in.  I thought about just staying in bed because nobody was going to be around but I've decided to get up because the lady was here to clean the house and I like to get out of her way.  I decided to cruise the lagoon and when I got up to the top of the hill I made myself braved the railroad tracks and I went on over to the boardwalk, I really felt great.  I seen a couple of college guys and it looked like they were interviewing people so I tried to cruise around them but it didn't work.  They stopped and asked me if I was rich and I said "absolutely not" and they asked me how much money I thought it took to be rich, I said $50,000... I am really not good at spontaneous questions, I think that is obvious.  They both laughed and Brodie and I went on our way.  When I got back Heather and Cassie were in the kitchen and something was smelling awfully good.  Heather was making roast potatoes, sautéed spinach and tilapia as well as some wraps with some prosciutto, I have never had prosciutto before but I tasted really good.

Yesterday I had another appointment with Rehab Specialist that I missed, I think this is the third one in a row because stuff just keeps happening.  This time we got lost but when we called they said that they needed the chair without me in it, unfortunately I was already in it so that wasn't going to work so I told them I would call them when I got home and reschedule AGAIN.  I really hate everything about this chair.  I have had it for six months and only been in it about six times, only one I had to.  Whenever I turn it on its start beeping and then shuts off, I have no clue why it does but it instantly sends me in to a bad mood because I know how my day is going to go.  People keep telling me that I just need to get used to the chair and everything will be fine... how am I supposed to get used to something like this??  I should have just gotten the same chair that I had only the 2008 model.  I will keep trying.
