Mother's Day in this college town equals Graduation Day. So I'm going to be hanging out around home, avoiding trying to go anywhere that would involve parking, which won't exist. Maybe I'll make cookies for the office. That seems like a good use of time. And it will remind me of Mom, who didn't much care for baking, but who was very good at it.
Yeah, but you're an amateur fry cook and I come from a long line of fry cooks that don't live past 25.

Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I got my wheelchair battery! Now I've just got to set it up, and find somewhere to go.

Made plans with some friends for a street fair that would be far too much walking without the chair, so I'll try get to try it out, and try not to run into too many people while figuring out how it works.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Good luck with the new transportation, Hil!

Thrive to spite them
Yay wheel chair battery.
I need to start taking over coordinating my family for things like Mothers Day woth all of us.
But Mom makes a passing remark to my brother and then doesn't follow up until I insist.
Anyway instead of having dinner we are having lunch. Kind of.
One again my brother is late for a meal. We said 11:30 to noon and he's going to be here "soon" .

ARGH. I was bringing my wheelchair out to my car, and one of the wires got caught on something, and a plug disconnected, and I think one of the little prongs of the plug broke off, and now I can't get it connected again.

Oh, no, Hil!

I emailed the company to find out where to get it fixed.

I went to the food fest thing with my friends and used my walker, and made sure to stop and rest when I needed to, and it was fun, though tiring. And, looking at the connection that broke on my wheelchair, I'm pretty sure that I didn't fasten it correctly, though the instructions on how to fasten it didn't actually say how to do it, but that's why it broke. But, in any case, it's definitely something that can be fixed easily -- either straighten out the bent prongs, or just cut off the plug and attach a new one. Just need to wait for the company to get back to me to tell me where a certified repair place is, because I'm not going to void the warranty by taking it to a non-certified place before I even get to use it.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Hillary, what a pain. Glad you managed to have fun anyway.
Speaking of pain, I am in it. And whether it's that or hormones or whatever, I am super cranky and want to burn the world down. I may also be getting sick. So I'm going to take and Ambien and go to bed early because I have also signed up for a 7 am Pilates/cardio class across town. 15 sessions over four weeks. Lord help me. I guess I'm hoping it will jumpstart my fitness, get my days started earlier, and motivate me to quit smoking (again). And help with stress.
Now if I can just get out of bed.
