Wednesday Night

I'm behind again on posting...sorry. My focus has been around the house and with family more so than not, and also when I've been on the computer, I've been putting my time into Facebook. As a matter of fact, I imported this blog address into FB so when I post on here, it will show up on there. Kinda cool, if it actually works like it says it will...

I've been on increased oxygen for the past week or so, and it has made a difference in my longevity during the day. That's a good thing. I don't care for how I look with the oxygen and such, but then I don't like how I look in a motorized chair either...I just have to get over it and not concern myself with what others might think, or even what I might think, for that matter. The O2 helps and that's the key.

Of most significance and importance, yesterday was CC and my anniversary! 19 years married, close to 25 years together total! I've been in love for nearly 25 years...wow. And I hear others spout that there's no such thing...but I know better, at least for me and my family, anyway.
We went to dinner by ourselves to Chili's (where else could we go locally?) My parents came up last Saturday so they were able to watch the kids while CC and I went out for dinner. Typically, I cannot pull off a dinner out without suffering some aspect of an attack, so last night was a true treat. I had issues once we got home, but at least we were home. I think the issues were likely due to the food prep.

I now have two new batteries (thanks to my parents) in the Guardian Chair (my motorized chair) and I'm sure I will be much happier with its control and lasting battery life. Mom and dad blessed us hugely with those new batteries. I took Annie for a walk around the block this evening and the chair was great and definitely different from before when the batteries were at 65%...we kinda scared a couple young men who were walking on the sidewalk; Annie and I were in the center of the street because of how Annie was watching these two guys and I wanted to give them as much room as reasonable, and sure enough, once we got parallel with them, she lunged at them form the other side of my chair, barking and such for a moment and they kicked into a sprint. I had a very good hold of her and knew she wasn't going anywhere, but there wasn't going to be any convincing them of that; they were off and gone. I felt kinda bad...only kinda though...I don't think she even took herself seriously; she stopped after a couple barks and the initial lunge and just wagged her tail and kept trotting in front of me. I think she thought it was fun.

I put up lots of pics on Facebook, for what it's worth. I'm enjoying that network so far.

Peace.
