Day 955

Leave a reply

Some days move at a snail’s pace– that’s what I learned today.

It’s  4  : 45 PM on day 955 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to brush my teeth, pray, read Numbers 8, take off my dirty t-shirt and put on a clean one, feed myself Bran Flakes for lunch  and practice typing with both hands.

This morning started off on a bad note when a health concern I had was dismissed off hand and then things went from bad to worse when I discovered this blog was malfunctioning for some reason I just want this day to end. Do you sometimes feel like time isn’t moving fast enough?

Day 836

Saying I’ll try again tomorrow is not the same as giving up– that’s what I learned today 🙂

It’s  4 : 57 PM on day 836 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to  stretch my hamstrings,take off my t-shirt and put a new one on – today I did the whole thing by myself I didn’t even need help putting my hands through the sleeves I’m so proud of myself I guess it’s easier undressing and redressing myself while lying on the bed – publish my Disability of the Day feature,   brush my teeth,   practice sitting up straight to strengthen my core muscles, practice typing with both hands,     feed myself a noodles for lunch and watch TV.

This morning after I had taken off my t-shirt and put a new one on I decided to try and take off my pants I almost got it down to my knees by then it was 10: 30 AM and there was so much I wanted to do with my day so I stopped, thought I’ll try again tomorrow and asked our housekeeper for help when you have some sort of special need your life basically revolves around doctor’s appointments and different types of therapies (physical therapy, occupational therapy and if necessary speech therapy) I sometimes wonder what neuro-typical twenty-one-year-olds do with their time and wish I could be like them for a day just to know what it feels like not to have to struggle to do everything. Do you feel like you’re giving up every time you pause what you’re doing and say I’ll try again tomorrow?

Day 740

The price of beauty is time  – that’s what I keep learning 🙂

It’s  10 : 37 AM on day 740 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to brush my teeth, let my sister put make up on me,  feed myself  a boiled egg  for breakfast and  prepare and publish my Disability of the Day feature.

This morning I spent what seemed like hours in front of a mirror being made up by my sister (today we’re attending an annual event in our community’s calendar) I don’t get why people can’t go as they are and have a great time when I think about all the good I could have done in the time I was being made up I can’t help but feel that I wasted hours of my life.   Do you spend hours in front of a mirror trying to look beautiful for other people?

Time is the school in which we learn, time is the fire in which we burn. ~ Delmore Schwartz

It’s 8: 26 PM on day 657 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to brush my teeth, feed myself bread and scrambled eggs for breakfast,   publish my Disability of the Day feature,  prepare and publish my Kid of the Week feature, work, feed myself  Stir Fry  for lunch,  work some more, feed myself Stir Fry  for dinner and watch TV.

Today marks the one month countdown to the second anniversary of this blog I can’t believe how fast time has flown I’ve learned  and grown a lot since I started this blog but what makes me happiest is that I’ve shown people who are a  little bit different that they are not alone in the challenges they face.   Have you learned and grown from time?
