Well here it is the last day of 2011; because it’s raining I do not have to endure too many sounds of fireworks.

Here there have already, been weeks of fireworks being let off, despite it being illegal to set off fireworks before midnight on the 31^st of December.

No one tries to enforce this law, shame as fireworks causes so much injury, and I wish they would stop selling fireworks, better to have big displays.

People here drive to Belgium for fireworks, where there are fewer restrictions, and so heavier fireworks can be bought and smuggled over the border.

I was pleasantly surprised ait lunchtime today when the bell rang at 12.20 and surprise, surprise it was the Welzorg engineer, as promised, to mend the broken arm rest.

Even better still Tijl, the engineer managed to get the new part fitted, it took him quite awhile to finish the job; he got here at 12.20 and left at 13.20.

He was busy for the full hour trying to work out how to best install the new bolt, finally he succeeded and Richie could put the books back on the bookshelves.

A Gray Wednesday.

We are having a more relaxed day today, the last two days there were appointments so I have been out of bed earlier, today I won’t get out of bed until later this afternoon.

Once Richie has done the shopping, he is also looking for additional kitchen cupboards, which are urgently needed, so that the kitchen is more efficient.

Lovely To Part On Such Good Terms.

Cyril is coming along very well; he seems to be coming out of his depression now, which is so very good to see.

Happy Dogs.

Paying the Bills With Multiple Sclerosis

I
A comment posted by widawn earlier this week brought something to mind about our daily responsibilities.

We’ve had a few conversations in the past about the economic and personal financial impact of multiple sclerosis over the years. But widawn’s comment was brought home to me when my postman stopped by today.

I opened an envelope from the city of Seattle Municipal Court… This can’t be good!

Well, it was a check. A check from the court!

After a few calls, I found out that I had double paid a parking fine.

It is, we must assume, better to overpay a bill than to forget to pay it, but had it been a “regular” bill I doubt I would have gotten a refund.

Changing a Perception

In order to be able to change the beliefs that I hold, I first must perceive them differently.

Examples:

I believe the carpet is clean. Upon getting down on my hands and knees, I clearly see the carpet is loaded with dirt.

I have always felt cold in the ocean in the winter. I just got a new wetsuit which is thicker and higher quality than any that I have had before. I now find the ocean to be pleasant even if the temperature is 55 degrees.

I have always thought of dogs as dominant over cats. I currently have a cat that who is not afraid of my dogs; in fact, they run and cower from him.

I have always been afraid to speak up and disagree with people who I perceive as smarter than I. Recently, I spoke up about an issue that had been bothering me for a long time. My friend acknowledged the issue, has changed his behavior and it feels more comfortable to be around him.
