First day of snowshoeing

My Tuesday morning began at 5:00 a.m. by drinking my hot cocoa while eating some fruit. At 5:30 I then fixed myself a bowl of hot cereal with a piece of toast. Once I had finished eating, I then made my bed. A5:47 I then washed my dishes before brushing my teeth. At 6:00 I then shaved before starting in with my stretches that have helped me each morning since having my last stroke. At 6:20 I then began to do my back stretches. At 6:30 I then made my way to the gym to cycle for ten minutes. At 6:40 I then held a three minute calf stretches. At 6:45 I then grabbed the ten pound bar. I then did three reps of twenty with the chest press before grabbing the seven pound dumbbells. At 6:55 I then returned to my apartment so as to take a shower and get ready for the day ahead. At 7:17 I then took the daytime mucinex cold and flu. Still trying to get over this cold. At 7:20 I then put a heat pack on my back. I then grabbed my knapsack and lunch and went to the lobby to meet United Wheelchair. Cheryl arrived at 8:45 getting me to WestSide at 9:00. I had sat in the lobby fifteen minutes before meeting with Priyadarshi for a counseling session. We spoke about the iris network and livng in general is going. At 10:00 I then went to to Tobie's office for my recreational therapy session. During our hour, we had began to edit the table of contents of my book. We then worked on the quote, "Don't Count The Days, Make The Days Count." We then talked about the dedication page We also talked about finding out who wrote the quote. We had left off on page three dedication page. At 11:00 while meeting with Nurse Sally, Dan had come into her office to get she and I. He was about to do a fire drill. He always warns me and a selective few who have seizures to get out of the building ahead of time. At 11:30 we were back in Sally's office. We then made some calls bout some medical issues coing up. Sally then let me know to bring my cell phone next week and card next week to put minutes on my phone. At 12:00 I then went to the dining area to eat my lunch. At 1:00 I then changed into my ski clothing, to get ready to go snow shoeing with Tobie. We then then left for the ymca trails down the street from where I live. At 3:30 we then went back to WestSide. Next week tobie will let the scheduler know to cancel my transportation on Tuesday afternoon and she will drop me off. At 4:00 United then took me back. I had arrived at 4:10 I left WestSide with Cheryl the United Wheelchair driver who took me. Before leaving I was told if the the weather is bad Thursday, the special event will be changed to Friday from 1-4 p.m. At 4:40 I then arrived in my apartment. Once I had taken a shower, I had unpacked my ski clothing before going to  the village green to eat. Once I had finished eating, I then went back to my apartment to get comfortable. My sister had called to let me know that she would be coming to visit with me this weekend. I then pulled up my blog and typed of my day.
