Today is officially the end of February. We applied for Social Security, and the process went well. I will appeal if denied, and just hope for the best. In the meantime, March is looking good. Tomorrow I have PT, Friday is an off day, and Saturday, Brian and I are hanging out. Next week and those following are full of PT. I also have two other appointments to handle too, but those won't be too bad, or conflict with anything else. Calendars are awesome. See you tomorrow, March 1st!

This weekend has started out well. I worked out this morning after breakfast, and shared joyful times with some of my friends. That was fun. Now I'm getting ready to work out again, and watch the soaps. ATWT is getting really good. Oprah has Sally Field on today too, and I can't wait to see that. Saturday and Sunday I'll work out again, and do more around the house Monday. Not a bad way to end this week and start the next. I'm looking forward to everything that is to come. :-)

The rest of this month should go well, even if there are mishaps along the way. Today and tomorrow I plan to work out more. Saturday I am going to work out, and just hang out while Mom and Dad are at the heart ball. This annual event is sponsored and for the American Heart Association. Sunday is the Oscars. Monday is another day to work out at home. Tuesday I meet with Vickie in the gym, and Wednesday, I see the Social Security folks at their office. I'm jam packed, as you can see, but very excited about all that is coming up.

My hope is that at the end of the week, I'll have time to post to let everyone know what happened with all of these events. :-)

The end of January was pretty busy, but I learned so much, which is always important. I learned that certain things should not be said or done when you meet someone for the first time. There are just ways to be a better person without going overboard.

February has had twists and turns that were totally unexpected too. I started PT for the Baclofen Pump, and that schedule still needs some tweaking since family has to help drive, etc. Other appointments have gone well, so I can't complain about that either. I'm just ready to see things get back to normal around here.

This weekend should be fun. I'm going to spend time with family. Next week, I have more PT, and the week after that I have to meet with the folks in Social Security. Applying alone has been a daunting task. It still makes me wonder how long the approval rates are. I won't know anything until February 28th.

March is going to be busy as well. PT will continue, and my parents get to go to the rodeo to see Reba Mc Intyre. How fun! I get to stay near the homefront, and talk to the rest of the family. It'll be fun either way.

I'm also hoping to collect books on psychology, my first major and first love since college ended. Doing so will help me realize I am not alone, and give me a broader look at some cases I have heard of but never fully investigated. Fun times are ahead! :-)

Music has spoken to me again this weekend. Carly Simon will be on Oprah Tuesday. She's awesome. Everything in my life, from events, to friends and family can be traced back to a song. I guess you could say this is why music is so powerful in my life. Being a lyricist is something I value. Looking back and before and after times is neat too. I get to see how much I've grown. I write at least one song per day. This isn't to be in the record books, but to keep me inspired. Music, like God, is in my heart. To quote Mattie Stepanek, we all have a special heart song. I'm happy to say mine is one full of grace and peace.

So far, the month has gone well. We kept Chrissy last weekend and went to the 50th anniversary celebration at Epiphany. This week, we've been doing things around the house, and running errands, doing some shopping, and trying to heal from colds that my parents had. I'm happy to say the health issues are finally better. This weekend I'll get to relax with the family. It should be nice.

Here's a look at the upcoming week, starting on January 15th, Monday:

Monday: Kyle and I get to hang out at Market Square for the day
Tuesday: My first appointment with the Baclofen Pump surgeon is today, and I think all will go well
Wednesday: A day of rest as we see about keeping Chrissy again for a day
Thursday: Mom's day out with the ladies at La Madeline
Friday: My new year's appointment with Dr. Bosquez to discuss current medications and management
Saturday: I meet with Canopy and Tim at Cafe Soleil for the afternoon
Sunday: I have no set plans for today, but I hope to head to church

All is well otherwise. I'll post again after the week is over to let everyone know how my friends and I are doing. Cheers!

Happy New Year 2007 Everyone!
