Their Maiden Voyage

So, my shoes arrived yesterday:

Tree is not finished being put up, but this is the best Christmas present so far because I need it now. These will be my shoes for the rest of my life.

I put them on today when I went to transfer as we were going to get our routine done:

I snapped that picture before we started, and I looked at it and just said, “Yeah.”

Sean came over today and he saw my shoes and he told me, “That’s the smallest box I’ve ever seen! I don’t think I’ve had shoes that’s small!” I told him that he did when he was young. They are size 6 medium. That checks out because I used to wear a size 4 in little boys shoes.

Tomorrow will be their maiden voyage because I’m going to see my naturopath and the next day, we are getting haircuts and going to the lights!

Teeth & Shoes

Tomorrow is ‘go time.’ There are three outings in December. First, I am getting my teeth cleaned tomorrow and I’m getting shoes from Rochester Hills.

Then, next week I see my naturopath and get a haircut. This has been a brutal year! I’m thinking next year will be a little bit easier…

Take it or Leave it.

Sadly, I finished my last Ginger Spice chapstick last night. That was my Abuela chapstick! I hope it comes back eventually!

I used a new flavor today. Cranberry Spritz. It’s kind of like in high school when Old Navy used teal and pink as their Christmas decorations. That was weird?! I don’t remember. I was a Junior in high school.

I think that’s what this flavor is like. I could take it or leave it but I’ll finish it before the end of December so then I can try the new Cinnamon Apple Crisp. I think that one will be my post Thanksgiving flavor next year. But the same flavor. Is also titled A Bit of Spice. #Cute

January 1 is Coco Mint because my brother, Jimmy, got me a whole bunch!!!

Winced

I went from taking my supplements three times a day to taking it four times a day. But then, my pills were not fitting into the container very well, so I decided to change to a ‘ninja star’ pill box put that ended up not working either after a little bit..

That pill box was pretty short-lived because it only lasted a few months and now I got this one:

I am not going to lie because seeing this made me wince a little bit. Sean came by today to bring up the Christmas tree and I showed him my newest pill box.

I first showed him the three pill day because that’s what my pills used to be. Now, I use that to store my Saturday night vitamins because that’s when I pillage so all of my pill containers need to be empty.

Then, I showed him my newest box. It is so big!!! I told him it looks like a laptop! He kind of chuckled and said that it looks exactly like that! I opened up the lid and he said that it looked so organized. That it does, but I still winced because it’s so big?!!!!

This just feels like a culmination of me getting sicker and sicker… I see my naturopath on December 16th.

Enough of a Taste

My Thanksgiving meals are modified now. I can no longer eat turkey and that wasn’t a really big deal for me anyway. Now, sides are made for me and they are delicious!

My Thanksgiving meal first and foremost consists of a nutrition shake because I need the protein before I can enjoy any food. I had cheesy potatoes, sweet potatoes, and stuffing.

MY Mom hasn’t been making her pies for a while, and that was a staple for me for my entire life! Well, turns out that my brother, Ray, has taken up that mantle and I had the MOST delicious piece of pie tonight!!!

I only ate half of what was given to us for my dinner. I have leftovers! That’s what I’ll be eating tomorrow. As I was eating my pie, I told my Mom that, “It feels like I’ve had Thanksgiving dinner!”

I haven’t been able to gorge myself for years as a power chair user. I just got enough of a taste today and I am content most definitely content!
