Tomorrow Kaitlin, Torben, and the pups plan to start their long trip here. Kaitlin has made sure the pups will have plenty of toys.
She said they might take a few out and save them for a future trip, but maybe not.
Yes! That’s how I pack too, toys first! That was certainly the right decision for my present little adventure. Me and my iPad, with my Kindle as a backup in case I got stuck somewhere without internet.

Andy came down last night with a box of mail that had accumulated for me. One of the New Yorker cartoons was a woman saying to a man,
Yes, I talk to myself. That’s because I listen.
And that, of course, is the joy of blogging. We not only “talk” to ourselves by writing about things we care about, we also connect with other bloggers who are interested in some of the same things we are. I learned years ago I never feel lonely when I write, and that was even before I started blogging. There’s a reason I made sure I had my iPad with me when they shipped me from our emergency room to the hospital in Santa Fe.

That’s one of the pictures on my walls. Another is the quote,
In a world where you can be anything, be kind.
Is there any wonder why I love this room?
Anyway, Sunshine Yellow. When Kaitlin told me about Discovery Insights, Sunshine Yellow and Cool Blue both resonated. They’re supposed to be complete opposites, but on the Meyers-Briggs Type Indicator I’m on the border between Introversion and Extraversion and between Thinking and Feeling, so it makes sense. I like to think and be logical, but that doesn’t mean I’m not also an exuberant puppy at heart. The two don’t have to be exclusive.
Just the term Sunshine Yellow energizes me and makes me smile.

My cheerful room and yellow sheets reminded me of Insights Discovery’s Sunshine Yellow. I was going to write about it but was distracted by this video:
Maybe tomorrow.

I now have my very own wheelchair.
and have signed up for 30 days of assisted living.
I like my room because it’s so cheerful. Fingers crossed my hip heals.

This is the gal saying I will be moved closer to home Friday morning. How cool is that?

To practice what I preach.
Stay curious and open to life. No matter what happens keep learning and growing. Find what you love and find a way to share it with others.
Hopefully not just empty words.

The occupational therapist said I needed a dressing stick, but she didn’t have one to give me. So I ordered it from Amazon and it came this morning.
Amazon
I already had a grabber, and this device was a good complement.
I didn’t have any physical therapy today, so haven’t had a chance to practice with the walker, which I really need. But I am getting more adept at using the wheel chair, a skill I hope I’ll never have to use again.

The occupational therapist gave me one of these:
It’s a great device!
