At 11:00 I then went to Priyadarshi’s office for Mindfulness and meditation. I first let him know how I have been using meditation during the week, we then went into a practice. Once I was nice and relaxed, at 12:00 I then met the United Wheelchair driver in the lobby who would be taking me home. Upon my arrival home at 1:15 I first called WestSide so as to confirm my Ride tomorrow after my meeting with Tim. Once I had eating lunch, I then returned to my bedroom so as to brush my teeth. I then layed down to rest. I had slept from 1:45-4:35 before waking. Once I had taken a shower, I then put clean laundry away before going into the kitchen so as to eat dinner. I then returned to my bedroom so as to pull up my blog so as to type of my day.

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2019
My NEW YEARS DAY began on this 2019 at 10:00 a.m. by going into the kitchen so as to drink my hot cocoa while eating some fruit with fruit dip. At 10:20 I then had some taosted bread with jams on it. Once I had finished eating at 10:40, I then cycled for twenty minutes before returning to my bedroom at 11:00 so as to brush my teeth. Once I had shaved, I then made my bed. At 11:12 I had begun to do my stretches that have helped me during my latest stroke recovery. At 11:24 I then continued by doing my back stretches. At 11:35 I had put in my eye and nose drops before taking two puffs of my inhaler. At 11:50 I then went onto the deck so as to shovel the snow after our most lates snow storm last night. I did so until 1:00 p.m. before going inside to my bedroom so as to take a shower and to put something more comfortable on. I then went back into the kitchen at 1:30 so as to eat a salad then a bowl of soup. At 1:45 I returned to my bedroom so as to brush my teeth. I then lied down to rest. I had slept from 1:55-4:35 before waking. I then went into the kitchen to have a plate of spaghetti for dinner. At 5:00 I then took a quick shower before pulling up my blog, so as to type of my day.
