I know it's time to get a wheelchair because i have started to ask men to carry me. I want a piggy-back or a shoulder-ride but would settle for the indignity of a fireman's carry ~ but i am 235 pounds and no man will agree. Just joking, i only asked a security guard once when i was REALLY tired.

I go to this wonderful mall regularly but it's insanely long ~ a kilometer from end-to-end. A walking group uses it, it's so darn long. Sometimes i just can't make it.

There are a lot of activities i can't do and i'm exhausted by 11:00am and have to come home and do my Dr. Scholl's foot bath. I made a mighty attempt to improve my fitness in the gym and ended up destroying myself physically. Nothing is working.

This way i can take my dog over to the lovely paved path along the river near me, and she can walk to her heart's content. The city will open back up for me, we have a marvelous network of paved paths. I can go to the falls five kilometers away and the beach also five kilometers away.

I'm so looking forward to it! It's going to be a whole new wonderful world!
