Walking at the mall with my O&M instructor

My Monday morning began at 4:15 a.m. by making my bed. After doing so, I then fixed myself a cup of hot cocoa to drink while I stretched. I first focused on my stretches that I have been doing since having my most recent stroke. At 4:40 I then continued to stretch by doing my back stretches. At 4:55  I then made my way to the gym to cycle for twenty minutes. I then used the incline board so as to stretch my calves. At 5;30 I then returned to my apartment. So as to finish my hot cocoa while eating some fruit. At 5:45 I then fixed myself a bowl of cereal to go along with toasted english muffin and a peach. Once I had finished eating, I then picked up my kitchen. Once the dishes were washed and put away, at 6:00 I then brushed my teeth. And shaved At 6:15 I then wiped my dishes and put them away. At 6:20 I had taken a shower, continuing to get ready for the day ahead. Once I was ready, I then put in my eye and nose drops. Once I had used my inhaler, I then put heat and ice on my back. At 7:00 I then listened to my audio book until going to the lobby at 8:15 to wait for my ride. United Wheelchair had arrived at 8:15. I had arrived at WestSide at 8:40. I had sat in the lobby fo twenty minutes while waiting to go to the conference room. During newsletter group, we spoke about the commemoration of the anniversary of 9/11. At 10:00 during my rehab session with Steven, we first spoke about my book, then we played a game of chess. At 11:00 during genealogy group we continued to research our ancestors. At 12:00 I then went to the lobby so as to meet my ride. I had arrived back at Schooner Estates at 12:05. Once I had my knapsack in my apartment, I then went to the village green to eat my lunch. At 1:24 I then checked my email and responded to my case managers email from the devision of the blind. He wanted to meet with me tomorrow at my apartment. I then responded, thus setting a time for 2:00 p.m. Once I had finished my email to Tim, I then went outside to sit and wait for Jorden my O&M instructor. At 2:00 during the session we went to the Auburn Mall to work on going up and down stairs. He then let me know to remind my primary car doctor to sign release forms, giving the o.k for me to walk long distances and ride the bus. I had arrived back at Schooner Estates at 2:37. Once I was in my apartment at 2:40, I had lied down to rest. I had slept until 5:22. As I was waking my father had called. He was letting me know that my sister was coming home this weekend and if I wanted to catch a ride she would pick me up. At 5:40 I then made myself a salad. At 6:00 I then sat down to eat. At 6:20 I then washed my dishes and picked up my kitchen. At 6:40 I then took a shower. At 7:00 I then took my laundry to the laundry room so as to start a wash. I then returned to my apartment and pulled up blog.
