I began my Wednesday morning at 8;00 a.m. by getting to go out into the kitchen to eat a peanutbutter and bananna sandwhich for breakfast. First I had to drink my hot cocoa and snack on some fruit while I had read some of the moring paper. Once I had finished eating my breakfast, I then went back to my bedroom to brush my teeth and put on my exercises shorts. I then went downstairs to ride the swin air dine for thirty minutes. At 8:40 I then returned to the kitchen to wash some dish's before returning to my bedroom to do my weight exercises. Once I had finished stretching, I then showered and got ready for the rest of my day. At 9:55 I then started a load of laundry. I then folded some laundry that was dry, thus putting it away. I then hung the load in the washing machine to dry. doing simple tasks such as hanging laundry to dry, dews throw me of balance. Once I had put the dish's away that I had washed, I then had a bite to eat before leaving. United had arrived at 11:30. I was then on my way to WestSide. Upon my arrivel I had gone directly to the conference room for support group.
