Hi.

Sorry I've been AWOL lately. Life has just gotten pretty busy. Oh boy, another step closer to "normal". God knows I was always going sixty miles a minute before the accident. To try to catch you up in the order things happened is probably the easiest way for me to try and stay quasi-organized.

First things first - last Friday I got moved into my new office at work. Holy toledo IT IS NICE!!! I got my boss' old office and it is actually a shared office that I am just not going to share. So that alone means it is HUGE! And it doesn't just have a window - one whole wall is windows! AWESOME!!! I kinda feel like I'm being spoiled. But I started with my voice activated software on Monday and it really makes sense. I cannot even begin to describe how distracting/annoying/irritating it would be to have to be sitting next to someone using that software. I'm really relieved that I have a separate space so not only can I focus but so can others around me. Good thinking, doc. It's like doctors make these sorts of recommendations all the time. Like it's their job or something. :)

Then Saturday - a good and devastating day all wrapped up in one. Good day because our community group went out and invited people in Highpoint to the potluck we're hosting this Saturday. Met lots of people. It was fun. Devastating day because Chuck is done fighting in the UFC. Watching him and Franklin fight was fun but it was hard to see him get knocked out. I think it would have been a tough fight seeing either one of them lose.

On to Sunday. Sunday was great. I got to go to the Tacoma Dome and see my sister's high school graduation. That's right, my SISTER'S! It was pretty neat to get to meet her. She is unbelievably witty! And so darn pretty too. Wow! Makes me wish I would have known her while she was growing up. Probably would've made life even more fun. But hey, at least I get to know her now.

Now to Monday. Another good but busy day. I had a wonderful new experience Monday. I got up early and went to the 7am yoga class at the gym at work. WOW! It was fantastic! The teacher was so great and she came and helped me specifically when I couldn't do a pose. All I could do was think over and over again that this would have been so great to do when I was learning to walk. Stacie was amazing! And I'm really excited because it is scheduled for Monday, Wednesday, and Friday morning. Cool! I get to do it three times a week!

And finally, on to today. I have a checkup with my TBI doc this morning and I think I made a big step in progress this morning. Sounds weird, I know, but I had an itch in the arch of my left foot this morning when I was getting out of the shower. I don't think my left foot has itched in almost 10 months. Step in the right direction. Irritating step, but step nonetheless.

That's all I've got. Have a good day.
