Dear Diary,Today has been a long day. I am really tired from training the computer to recognize my voice. It is an amazing feature. Now I can sit here and dictate my diary all day with out getting a finger cramp. Legend 813 really knows what he's doing when it comes to computers because I have never had so much fun before with my machine. I wish I would have had this technology years ago because who knows what I could've gotten myself into.
It has been really cold outside and I have had to find all the winter coats. I think I might have left a couple of them behind at the old house.
There was a storm the other night and the winds were 60 MPH. I was afraid that my tent was going to blown way. When I went outside it was in the neighbor's yard so I had to go get it.
A guy that was moving gave us a new computer. It doesn't work as good as my laptop computer but it does have word perfect 10 which is a treasure to me because I have eight on disk right now so I am very happy about that. 10 is so much more advanced.
I have two more boxes filled with books to take two trade and by the looks of it I may have another box full by the end of the week. I have so many books that are new that I don't have the time to read them now. But I can't wait to find the time to look at them all. Some of them I'm going to be keeping for my own reference manuals. There are a few things that I am learning new from some of them.
Yesterday I had the phone turned back on so that means the internet too! *sweet* because I missed it.
When my friend Erica moved away she left me her ab machine and I finally tried it for the first time. It was quite an experience. It felt like I had been ran over by a herd of horses. And within two days I could feel my stomach getting tighter. It is the first time I have worked my stomach area since my accident so I am really excited about fitting into thinner pants again. But it is safe to say that I don't plan on using it more than a few minutes per day because I don't like the feeling that my stomach gets afterward right at my surgery area.
Well it is official, winter has finally arrived. The stores are all decked out in precipitous flow from Santa Claus to candy canes and all the in between. This year I think I am going to make our own Christmas cards to make it more special to send to our friends. I'm not really into the commercialism this year like I have been in the past two years with the old house. This is my first real Christmas in my own home and I am so happy that I'm finally getting what I want out of life.
Last year we moved here and were moved in by January 15th so we missed all of the fall views of the surrounding trees.
I am really excited that we got to see it this year.
All is well.
