Today was my second "Day Off" from seeing Rand and I didn't know what to do with myself. I did some shopping, (the red purse was gone so I got a dark, dark brown one instead), did some stuff around the house, kept looking at my watch to see how much time I had before I went to Rand's Room. I almost succumbed and went over there but forced myself to stay away. By then, Jennie the SLP, was there and I'd just be in the way.
I'm not ready to buy a new car yet, but I've started looking around for alternatives to a van with a lift or ramp built in. Our Nissan Murano is just about right for our needs, except that a week ago I strained my shoulder loading Rand's wheelchair into and out of the back end. It was a not so subtile reminder that I may not be able to do that forever. Last night I ran across a website that really got me going. Check it out at www.fminow.com/index.php Click on the PT Cruiser, then on "conversions." Is that slick or what?? Obviously, I would be looking at one that had the passenger side conversion. It could be an answer to my dilemma. There's a ton of homework to be done, but something like that could be great. Rand and I frequently rented PT Cruisers when we were traveling because of the space, size, etc. A model with all the bells and whistles could be wonderful - minus some of the paint jobs shown! Oh well, I have a couple of years to think about it.
I don't know how I can look forward to a day to myself on one hand and then turn around and not know what to do with it. Uff da. I hate to start planning my days off but I don't want to have another day like this either. I felt discombobulated, like I was wasting time. I had things to do at home that I didn't want to do like ironing, cleaning the kitchen, etc. Hmmmmmmm. I've got to get my ducks in a row.
Keep Rand close.
Love,
Connie
