It’s 12  : 20  PM on day 1296 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to  pray,   brush my teeth, read Job 30,  publish my Disability of the Day feature, feed myself bread with egg for breakfast, promote my Eradicate AIDS campaign – no donations so far today – practice sitting up straight to strengthen my core muscles, go out with my parents – it’s March holidays here in South Africa school’s out for a week, my brother’s at a badminton tournament and my sister’s at med school so it’s just my parents and I 24/7 I love my parents but it being just the three of us makes me wonder if this is what my future is going to be like when my brother leaves home just thinking about it freaks me out my parents are great but I don’t want to live with them for the rest of my life I want to be out there working hard and having fun – stretch my hamstrings  and continue promoting my campaign – still no luck.
