"Time Out" in the pool

I began my Tuesday morning at 5:30 a.m. by going out to the kitchen to eat my breakfast. My mother had whipped me up some hot cereal and toasted english muffins along with my hot cocoa. Once I had finished eating my breakfast I then went back to my bedroom to brush my teeth and begin my workout first by stretching. Once I had done my weight exercises, I then took my shower at 7:00 I proceded to get ready for my day ahead. At 7:30 I then sat down to fill my pill containers for the week. Once I had my containers filled, I then called hanaford to have a perscription refilled. I then gathered my things, so as to have them by the door before my ride arrived. Upon my arrivel to WestSide for 10:00 a.m. I had participated in a new group I was asked to be put into called Finding Meaning, directed by one of the interns Jennifer. Doug and I shared things about ourselves with one another and frustrations we may have about our lives. Believe me I shared. The groups direction is to help find meaning spiritually and in hopes to get ideas of volenteering so to get your mind off your disibility ect. At 11:00 I had a half an hour break, so I went downstairs to the kitchen to chill out. At 11:30 I had my nursing session with sally. During our session the nurse from Bayside was there who will be covering for Sally for a brief time while Sally is on medical leave. So sally had me tell her a little about myself. At noon I then went to the dining area to eat my lunch with other clients. Once I had finished eating I then had aquasize group. I rode over to the ywca with John and some other clients. Once we wer there I went inside to change into my bathing suit. Once John had help me into the pool area he had me sitting on one of the bench's for the first half of the group. The reason being so that I would not be spending so much time on me feet in the pool to prevent any breathing problems that may occure otherwise. While sitting there the other clients were in the pool on their feet doing stretching exercises. Once I was in the pool; John first had me floating around with a noodle placed behind my back so as to get my feet of the bottum of the pool. Towards the end of the group the other clients and I were tossing a ball around to one another with John and Jenn. Once we were back at WestSide Sam from United took Donald and I home to Farmington. Once I was home, I took a hot shower to get rid of the chill from the pool.I then sat down to blog at 5:00 before eating dinner with my parents.
