Parking permits

So I had another good day. It started off by having one thing on the to do list. That's great!

So I worked out with Steven this morning (btw he got 2 hours of sleep and was still there at 6am to work out with me, whatta trooper). Steve bought me breakfast.

I got home showered and took a 2 hour nap.

I did my last minute studying for my last Bio test. I needed a 89% to get an A and a 65% to get an A-. So before I took the test my question was if it were really worth studying, it's not hard to get 65%. But somehow I only missed one question. I mighta tied Brad! Either I'm getting better at guessing or the computers are busted...

Then I finally got around to getting my handicap parking pass. So the form was interesting. It said I couldn't walk 200 feet without being fatigued. It said I needed help from a brace or crutches. And it said I had orthopedic surgery. I didn't want them to call me out as a liar because NOW I can walk pretty well so I took a crutch with me just in case. It worked. They gave me 2 passes. One for my car and one for the person who gives me a ride. Cool.

But here's the sad part. My next errand was getting the tires rotated at Super Walmart. There is no handicap garage. Fine. Then I went to the BYU creamery and the parking spots are so close that there is no handicap spot! Strike 2. Then I went home. I have an assigned underground parking spot, and there are no special spots above ground. So maybe before the 3 months run out I'll be able to take advantage of my crippleosity. I guess it will be nice once all the parking lots are covered in ice....And yes, I did manage to get my groceries up the stairs all by myself in one trip.

I wish I had pictures but I don't.

A really good day

1) I figured out how to climb stairs like a regular person again
a) I got about a quarter of my home teaching done while doing it
b) Class got cancelled, so my morning turned into a 40 minute stair/walk fest.
2) I went to see the doctor
a) he said if you look at 100 patients I would be near the top
b) I can walk without crutches
c) I can take regular showers again
3) I went to physical therapy
a) I got 127 degrees. New record
b) I dominated the exercises
c) I called out one of the assistants for stalking me because she just "happened" to be running west as I was walking north to school on the same corner at the same time and says "looks like you're doing well" just on the day of the week when I don't have therapy.
4) I took my New Testament test
a) I got a 97%
b) "Awesome" "Great Job"
c) I almost choked on my spit when I saw it
5) I walked home crutch-less
a) I saw another crutcher and we had an instant connection
b) every car still stopped for me, I don't even have to break stride
6) I finished my homework
a) I did all the reading for my Friday classes
b) I finished a project due Monday
c) I went to the gym
d) I'M BLOGGING RIGHT NOW.

The only bad thing I can think of is that I had to write this post Dominican style because the internet connection conveniently broke when I tried to post it last time. That would be "e)" under "6)" but it wasn't good.

7) I got groceries
a) I can eat fruit again
b) That reminded me that Steven needs to buy me breakfast this week.
