It's different now...

Gerry and I have (and the girls) done some traveling in the US over the years and we love watching pro sports. If we can swing it, we try to catch the local MLB baseball team and/or their stadiums.  Boston, Milwaukee, Detroit, Cincinnati and others.  It was a great way to see the Toronto Blue Jays at the height of their popularity in '92 and '93.  Tickets were hard to come by in Toronto in those days.

Trina was very comfortable and walked ahead with the tour guide. I asked her and she remembers this but doesn't remember what they were talking about.

I realized last night that I am going to need to sit in disabled seating now.  Or will I?  I don't need a wheelchair to sit in.  I can sit in and get in and out of regular stadium seats.  But I can't do steps with my walker. So maybe I do need to be in disabled seating that is level with the concourse.  But what about the Gerry and whoever else is with me?  Will we be able to sit together somehow?  I have never really paid much attention to disabled seating sections in stadiums.  Maybe I should have!!  :)  I sent an email today to the customer service folks at Turner Field in Atlanta, GA. We'll see what they say.

God is faithful!

Psalm 33:4
For the word of the LORD is right and true; He is faithful in all he does.

I was just thinking as I prayed today and , honestly, thinking about what I was going to write today, how God is faithful!  Off the top of my head, I thought of a few prayers that were answered today.  B's audition went well as the whole church was praying for him.  My sister-in-law's step-father is home from the hospital  and Trina is more interested in deepening her relationship with God!  She started to study the Bible tonight!

I really appreciate how God knows best and He is in control.  Amen!

Praise God for friends!

I went out with my friend, Barb today for coffee and chatting.  We had a great time together.  I really enjoy my times with my friends.  I haven't been getting those times this winter because I have been scared to go out.  I explained to Trina that it had nothing to do with snow and ice.  Even without snow and ice, I was scared and unnerved walking outside.  Snow and ice made it just not happen at all!

But now that I am not afraid to go out, I can get together and spend time with my friends again!!  I am so excited!

What I have eaten today:

Breakfast
banana
plus sausage breakfast sandwich at Tim Horton's

Lunch
no lunch.  :(  All the walking in the last 3 days caught up with me and I was exhausted after I got home from my time with Barb.  I slept for 3 hours solid.

Dinner
scrambled eggs with cheese, 2 pieces of toast with butter

PLUS
3 cups of coffee with flavoured creamer
NO chocolate

I got out of bed and can walk today!

After all the walking I did yesterday, I though my arms and legs would be really sore today.  I joked yesterday about maybe not being able to get out of bed.  I am a little sore but not too bad.  I hope I don't sound irreverent and ungrateful about being able to get out of bed and walk. I am so grateful to God to be able to do those things.   There are people for whom that is not possible.

OK so I did not exactly take it easy today.  Got on the bus to go to one store, then walked to the next bus stop.  There was no room for me and my walker on the bus!  I didn't see another one coming so I started walking.  A bus passed me less than a minute later.  Grrrr So I walked all the way to the mall.  (I mapped it again, 1 km+ of walking).

Gerry and I should go out on a date tonight and not waste this nice haircut I got.  I don't know about you, but my hair almost never looks as good as the day it gets cut!

I went out to the mall again tonight to get Trina's March bus pass.  I forgot to get it for her to have for today.  Before the walker, it would be a big deal to have to go out to the mall again.  As it was, I enjoyed the walking and the (cold) fresh air.


What I have eaten today:
Breakfast
1 smoothie with fruit yogurt and milk.

Lunch
More of that amazing salad from Druxy's.  I think I topped the lettuce with, like, 10 different veggies.  Dressing on the side.

Dinner
1 sausage, mashed potatoes, corn

PLUS
3 cups of coffee with flavoured creamer

1 chocolate bar.  (Actually maybe you could call it 2. It was 1 pkg with 2 small chocolate bars in it.  And no, it wasn't even dark chocolate that could be called good for me.  It was Coffee Crisp.  Yummy!  I wish I had eaten one and then saved the other one for, like, now)
