First try
I've never tried blogging anywhere, so here I go. This is the best holiday season I've had in quite a while. Family got along (if you knew where they came from it would be more of an oh my god), got some surprise gifts (lots of games ), had some great cooking days, and it was just lovely. I have met up with this woman whom had a similar stroke but a year farther along who says once you get better, people feel they can lay more on you again (and do). I optimistically and blissfully refuse to accept that scenario and am going to continue to think the world and my relationships will get better with people. I got a new space heater so I'm warmer. I am going to start online Patient Advocacy classes in a couple weeks, which I'm super psyched about. My most recent catch-phrase in reference to my medical jaunt is that "It's good for my resume". And even though I've had a few falls recently I know better identifying when I'm having off-balance days will help a lot and prevent having to test my luck (at not hurting myself). I (my brother technically) have a shiba inu/ terrier mix who with friends got to go the dog park today. She doesn't go for walks much because I'm not to that point yet, but I have to remember dog parks. There was easily a dozen dogs there and Aerith had a good time and even got a bit tired. I have a dating profile (speaking of dogs? No.) but I feel like I am upfront and realistic about where I am and what I want and am enjoying friendly intellectual conversations and casual flirting that I don't expect or need to go anywhere but where it is. I feel like it's filling my yearning for guys and will keep me from crushing too hard on my PT. If they're attractive and nice they shouldn't be working in that kind of position amIright? (mostly kidding)
