Someone’s Trash is Someone else's Treasure!

Someone’s Trash is Someone else's Treasurer

I decided that I had to rush to Starbucks to get some water and macha to calm down before I embarked on a journey to a far away in land with Jason. As I was coming home from Starbucks I saw a woman walking up the stairs who was obviously struggling using coaches that seemed oversized.

Remembering that recently I found a perfectly good walker outside my apartment that someone was throwing away, I decided to keep it and prayed that God would put somebody at my doorstep that might need it. When I prayed that I didn't think that God would literally put someone on my doorstep but you know God works in mysterious ways. I invited the injured lady to stop by my apartment so I could give her the walker. As the lady, Chelsea, was wobbling into my apartment, she saw my recumbent trike. She became very excited and explained that she volunteers for a man who sells those kind of bikes. What!?! There is no way that she would know Kelvin, Al, or Allen. But sure enough as I was shaking with excitement trying to recall names of the cycling group she spit out the names of the people she knew and Allen was one of them. I was beyond excited that she knows and is volunteering with one of the men who sold me my trike- Mr. Allen!

Mrs. Juli Walker I totally thought of you while writing this because every time I would dictate the word walker it would capitalize the word. I thought of the many times I wrote in my journal about how amazing you are.

But wait..  there's more!

            I'm sure you've read Jason’s version of what occurred this weekend; while his version might be a little more accurate as this weekend was experienced through his eyes, let me tell you how I saw this weekend--

Jason came to pick me up and ended up assisting my neighbor to her apartment after recovering much needed items from her car - - making it through the night without one’s cell phone? This woman is downright amazing!    

That was only the beginning... The beginning I tell you.

The events overlapped but only by a few  minutes. So Jason arrived assisted my neighbor and then we were off - - Jason and I went to Castle Rock Adventist Hospital where we saw many people dressed in church clothes. Somewhere between Jason mentioning that Saturday is their Sabbath and me simultaneously thinking that Saturday is their Sabbath, I started thinking about Katherine and wondering if she had gone to Church that day yet or it or if she goes in the evening. We even went into the hospital and Jason showed me his office.

       His office was super exciting ( although this is a place that action figures still supersede pictures of me :-(. Hahaha I crack myself up! After touring his office, we went to Manna-- a restaurant in the hospital and it was so amazing! If Only they would deliver :-).

           After having an amazing meal we went to a pretty extensive comic book store. At this comic book store  I watched a little girl come in and ask the extremely knowledgeable salesmen about the reviews of certain comic books and neither of the salesman could give her a direct answer (perhaps they aren't as abreast on all comic books as I thought, but only the ones that are of Interest to them. Or as Jason would say,  I only read serious comic books. I had to wonder what the little girl's comic book room looked like. In the interim between the comic book store and he next stop, I needed a five-minute nap so I said “I wish there were hotels that you could pay for by the hour.” This was when I learned that those type of hotels actually exist. There are even some in Colorado Springs! I was so excited to learn this although Jason quickly removed my rose colored glasses by telling me a little more about those type of hotels. We later went Glacier Ice Cream which has amazing gelato and is pretty hidden but Jason the master navigator found it :-). While I was eating my milkshake I reminisced on the very first speech therapy I had after my injury. The therapist discussed how drinking thick liquids through a straw would help in my speech recovery.

Jason and I then found herself in Barnes & Noble. I was gifted with amazing books-- one about how do brain works and another about the periodic of elements. Again I thought of High School although this time the teacher I was thinking of was Mrs. Stowers. She had a periodic table that hung on the board to the right of the students.

             Although having memories of high school resurface doesn't really blow my mind as I've spent so many years with a brain injury thus this happening  -- having a better long term memory most of the time and my short-term- memory being almost non-existent. This will become oh so very clear by the end of this story. My memories of high school chemistry class are pretty vivid. I can still picture Mrs. Stowers standing in front of the periodic table explaining details, but for some odd reason with it being 15 years later, her voice just wouldn't come through my memories. So I did what I do at my favorite Starbucks, I observed others, although not as in-depth as I normally do and asked a man who had on some sort of name tag  I'm moving to him being some sort of an employee.

Not being at my home Starbucks I was a little worried about asking a stranger however having Jason there made me feel a whole lot better. So I turned around and asked him about the periodic a table. Is was amazing! Even though he wasn't 100% sure of and answer, he offered justification for the conclusion huge drawing. I was super excited to relearn the information offered during his justification and now I cannot wait to research further information when I am  able.

Wow! That much excitement and I haven't even begun to tell you about the experience of the play.

The play was at CU - Boulder. I have never been to Boulder (okay I did once when I was much younger to participate in the BolderBoulder)  nor have I ever been to a college campus of that size. I went to UCCS, the Colorado Springs branch of CU.  At UCCS I could ride my wheelchair around the campus from one class to another not having to travel through terrain that was too uneven or mountainous.  That was then and this is now.

             The great idea I had the other day to bring my manual wheelchair had completely slipped my mind as complete excitement had taken over every thought and bit of rational thinking I might have had. Arriving at the campus we began looking for correct building I was thinking oh no! Using a trusty navigation device, we neared what we thought was where we were supposed to be although it did not look very packed. The navigation device told us that we needed to walk a little way. We really thought it was only a little way however it was over the river and through the woods. Let me remind you that Kimi is Wobbly Woman on flat ground and now she is walking on uneven unstable terrain with only her cane and Jason's hand… bless Jason's hand as I'm sure I was putting my entire body weight on his hand through the woods. When we finally arrived at a building we basically ran into another couple with a navigating device out trying to find the Shakespeare play. Absolutely unintentionally I collapsed actually it was not collapsing I was just was standing by myself and thought the world was spinning. Parents, fear not, it wasn't that serious...or maybe it was :-). Jason spoke with the other couple (Matt and Amber) and indeed they were looking for the same thing hyphen hyphen the Shakespeare play! There was some discussion however it was across the street from me. All I know is that Matt and Amber offered to give us a ride because somehow he managed to figure out that the play was quite a distance from our current location. There were many interesting details about the play like a female Hamlet?

As the play was nearing the end, Jason and I began discussing how we were going to get back to his vehicle. He was dressed very nicely and I had on a dress. As I have stated before although not in this blog, A girl's got to do what a girl’s got to do. I do recall that I did wear leggings underneath my skirt or dress just in case a situation such as this arose. However I am on medicine that is causing weight gain and I did not want to throw myself on Jason's back :-(. I was stressing however as we were nearing the door to exit the auditorium Matt and Amber could not be found. There were quite a few people there it was like playing where's Waldo although Waldo wasn't standing still. Out of complete shock they were waiting for us by the door offering a ride back to Jason's vehicle! Sometimes I think my mom is right, I am God’s favorite :-)!

It was very late on our way home and we still had to travel through Denver.

Finally made it home and overall I'd say it was a totally exciting trip!

The following week I was reminiscing about the books Jason had purchased for me and when I went to locate them I was only able to find the Brain book. Although Jason says that we only got the Brain book, I am pretty sure I was just looking at the periodic table book at my table yesterday. Bus am unable to locate it today. I called Starbucks to make sure I did not misplace it or forget it there and Jason says that we only got the Brain book. I however I'm sure that I was looking at the periodic table book at my kitchen table just the other day.

Jason kept telling me that he only bought one book; however I can remember sitting at my table looking at the periodic table book. My helper had come tonight and she looked for it as well. Where could this book be? I can imagine ways that I would have talked myself out of getting a book as I do with most things, but the memory of reading it at my kitchen table was so vivid. Finally I asked Jason to send me a picture of the receipt. He said he would later that the receipt was out in the car, I began to play the waiting game although I had no clue how long it would be. Still thinking of places that the book might be comma I received a picture text from Jason of the receipt. The receipt showed only one book purchased-- the Brain book!

Wow! Jason had no idea how much weight that he had taken off my shoulders.

So there you go - an example of how my short-term memory is in a constant state of… well the memory is a human ability that is very personalized.

Through this most recent incident I've learned important things about Jason and myself. Jason will do what it takes to prove his point (at my request...hahaha), and I have learned that to me words are cheap-- I need solid evidence.

To have or not to have...

It has been shown to me time and time again that a brain injury is not the only reason for forgetting. As I try to rationalize what makes others forget I think about how I fail to remember things. If an activity is not that important to me even if I want it to be- - I forget, not on purpose but it just happens. If I have a thousand things going on - - I forget. Because I am human- - I forget. So everybody else  has  most of the same reasons I do and probably even more reasons that may cause them to forget.

As I was reading over this I was thinking that I must not be that important in others lives--that's why people forget things concerning me. If you're thinking, okay I never want to make plans with her again because she will announce if anything goes wrong. Fear not because this has nothing to do with anyone in particular. I'm just throwing around thoughts.

Also I think this medicine I'm on is effecting me in crazy ways. I've also gathered from writing this that maybe I don't need to get so excited about things before they occur. I'm filled with childlike excitement anticipating what I think should occur. When the anticipated event doesn't occur I am heartbroken to the same degree that I was filled with excitement. Recently I was reminded that I should not have expectations. While in some areas that may be good not having expectations, it's fun for me to have many days of excitement before an event occurs. That way if the event is not what you anticipated, you can leave saying you had -- number of days being super excited about the event. Partially reading over this story, I realize that I have that outlook about excitement pertaining to most things. Yay!

The adventures of the Wobbly Woman and the Pigeon Toed Man - starring Kimi R. Burton and Jason Madwell by Jason Madwell

The adventures of the Wobbly Woman and the Pigeon Toed Man - starring Kimi R. Burton and Jason Madwell
By Jason Madwell

Yesterday (June 24, 2017) I went to pick up Kimi for our day's event. Kimi was entertaining her new friend who said she tore a leg muscle wrestling. She was going to get her keys from her car when Kimi met her. Kimi had found an abandoned walker several days earlier and gave it to the woman to replace her ill sized crutches. Kimi says she smelled alcohol on the woman's breath (my sniffer is not as in tune as Kimi's). I did not notice any swelling or bruising on the woman's leg but as I helped her carry stuff back to her apartment, she was in noticeable pain.  Why her able bodies roommate did not go get her keys from the car is a mystery.

Kimi and I then went to my work where Kimi took over my office. We had lunch in the hospital restaurant which is fabulous.

We then drove to Boulder CO. I talked Kimi out of calling Starbucks to complain about a expired coupon she has. I know this is only temporary and Kimi will soon get that expired coupon reinstated.

Kimi is super excited about our trip to Las Vegas and staying in a hotel. She expressed her wish hotels to offer rooms for 5 minute naps. I told her there were hotels you could use by the hour. She was shocked and could not believe that such things were in Colorado Springs.

We stopped in Boulder at the local Comic Book store which is a fabulous store. When then went ti a local Ice Cream shop and had milkshakes. This is where I googled cheap hotels and proved to her that hourly rate hotels exist.

We then went to the local Barnes & Nobles. Right when we walked in there was a section of books on the brain, math, and the periodic table - Kimi's favorite subjects. We picked out three books and Kimi sat at a table and decided which on she wanted while I wandered the store. It was during this time that Kimi found out that the B&N Starbucks would not accept her regular Starbucks card causing great sadness.

Once I rejoined her, a periodic table question came into her head and danced around. She was debating ask anybody in the store the question which I begged her not to do.  I was overruled an she ask a random store employee her science question and SURPRISE - he new the answer. Kimi was stoked and I was humbled doubting her social butterfly ways to get answers.

We then went to go to the UC Boulder Shakespeare festival production of Hamlet. The problem was that the Apple Iphone map was wrong and there were no signs pointing us in the right direction. The parking garage the instructions told us to park at looked to be closed for construction.

I parked at the closest spot I could find to where I thought the theatre was at. We had to walk about a mile. I did not think to bring Kimi's wheel chair. It was a slow rough walk. When we got to the spot where the map said to go, there was nothing there. Thankfully, another couple was lost as well. Kimi crashed on the ground to help our cause and the couple gave us ride and we were able to find the theatre. It was still a hike from the street to the building.

We watched the show and it was a great production. They mixed it up and had Hamlet be a woman. Before the show, the couple next to us told us the under construction parking garage was actually open for use. I was fooled again!

I thought that to get back to my car, I was going to have to put Kimi on my back and hike back to my vehicle. Thankfully, the couple that gave us a ride to the place, waited for us after the show and gave us a ride back to our car. While leaving the theatre we were all doused by the sprinkler system and left soaking wet. I realized on the way back that my hiking plan would have been a disaster. It was probably two plus miles back to the car. It would have took forever in the dark with Kimi on my back to make that trip.

Back on the road, we had to stop to find a restroom. It was around 11pm which made things difficult. The first gas station I stopped at was closed. Then I had to drive thru Denver. I think not want to stop there for having a fear of being attacked by hooligans. We finally found a place in Castle Pines. 

We made it back to my apartment around 1230am. We had to walk through a mini flood to get to the building door. Water does not drain well at my place and even the sprinklers can flood the walkup area. Once inside, Sleep soon was obtained and thus ended another exciting adventure of the Wobbly Woman and the Pigeon Toed Man.

A Sombrero?

Being super excited to wear my DaBrim visor on my trike helmet I pretty forcefully slipped it on the helmet and thought, “I'm not sure how it's supposed to stay attached to my helmet but here I go.” I stopped by grandpa's house and grab a sip of his amazing water and he took post, ready to time of my laps. During the first lap my magical visor fell off so I took a 2nd to find the visor. I was really excited to do some riding today but didn't start my laps early enough so I was facing a lot of traffic in the parking lot. I guess there goes my exercise for this morning…. but wait there's more!

            I got home and as I was putting away my trike, finding my other sorts of trike gadgets, and rearranging my schedule I realized that there are velcro straps that will firmly fastened DaBrim to a helmet! Dur to my previous trike crash, the part of the helmet that holds. The helmet firmly to your head is broken and was completely tangled in my hair. After I finally got the helmet removed from my head I figured that I will figure out how to secure the DaBrim to my helmet once it gets dark outside and I must stay put; now it's time to write.

            I sent this wonderful photo to my boyfriend thinking that he would know what it was. However he sent an emoji laughing and rolling on its side. Besides  who made it was worse in the morning and  I looked pretty crazy, I was a little sad. He later texted me and told me that he thought it was a sombrero! A sombrero? Well I suppose if he's never been supposed to DaBrim, I’d think it was a sombrero also. Now I'm laughing and rolling on my side!

....more excitement!

The next day, oh my goodness the next day I was super duper excited! My friend, Mr. Dave that I see pretty often and my other friend, Mr. Jim who works at Compassion were both ay Starbucks at the same time.  They were chatting when a firefighter, John Aker came in and they were all buddy-buddy I found out that Mr. John and Mr. Dave used to be police officers! This made  super excited-- I wondered if they know Mr. Bob, the security guard at West who also used to be a police officer?!?

As I was sitting at Starbucks, a former coworker came up and explained her current situation and how her pastor was out of town. I felt the Holy Spirit nudge  me and I just started praying for her. After some time passed  I ran into her  at work as I was picking up a few things. Although I'm sure that difficulties will come and go, Jesus Christ is in the midst of every trouble we just need to be sure and focus on what is good in the midst of every trouble.

         I was then taken to lunch by Bid and then we went to play at Bass Pro Shop -- boy was it fun. Unexpectedly I ran into Missy Call whom I haven't seen in a very long time and I was super excited  just seeing her was such a blessing. Lord , I pray that I'm a blessing to people- that the Holy Spirit’s Presence radiates from me two others much like it did from Missy to me today. At Bass Pro Shop sing a friend in the parking lot was only the beginning of this Great Adventure. Even though we went in and almost immediately found what we're looking for, on the way to locate the desired item we passed some huge fish. Would not think these huge stuffed fish have any significance, although I do not completely recollect when I am told, the story goes like this - - over 11 years ago prior to my rack I found this huge stuffed fish at Walmart. For no particular reason I grabbed the fish and ran around pleading my mother to purchase the stuffed fish for me. I really don't want none why I need a fish, but seeing those fish at that store today totally brought back the story that I've been told of the fish and perhaps I might even have a slight memory of the fish itself. Thinking about it, the stuffed fish could have fit in the cooler that we purchased today. I'm pretty sure my cousin or my nephew would fit in the cooler better or at least be more funny as we discussed after my dad was given his present. So thankful for the awesome adventure that Bid and I went on today!

The excitement had only begun....

Today (yesterday) has only begun and it's already the absolute best!  I worked out and then headed to Starbucks in my workout clothes so I did not look very professional at all. then I decided to run some errands and ran into a co-worker, Mrs. Teresa. Then I insisted on stopping by to see Kirsty. I was lucky enough to be given a Starbucks card. Insisting on using the card for her, I took her order and it was scheduled for later delivery. I was excited to actually had an agenda when I went into Starbucks. I rolled into Starbucks and there is a slew of firefighters from Monument with only one to whom I knew, Mike Smaldino! Why oh why does that name sounds familiar besides the fact that I know him…Oh yeah, his wife Sunny helps determine if the fire regulations are passing West!

First I saw a coworker and then I was reminded about West’s fire inspector! Just a couple connections so far.

Later Jason came over to watch Big Bang Theory and we had some awesome desert. For some odd reason I forgot that I had not eaten dinner yet so I simultaneously ate dinner and several bites of Jason's carrot cake :-).

Relying on technology is pretty sad- - all of the memories of yesterday I thought I had recorded were not in the document this morning so I'm not sure what else happened :-( Oh! I delivered Kirsy’s Starbucks and it was so much fun, I may have unintentionally volunteered for a summer volunteer job of Starbucks delivery. Again, please excuse to very incoherent writing I just speak this into my cell phone and proof read it once I've posted it.
But wait, there's more...

Complete Chaos!

Complete Chaos!

I went to Starbucks and when I was right in front of Starbucks on the sidewalk my wheelchair quit and had a configuration error. I called Major Medical Supply but that was the wrong company and they said to call NuMotion. I called them and left a message but I didn't know what to do, I was actually stuck in Starbucks - - it was quite an adventure. Sitting there, I began to think. Anyone that knows me realizes how dangerous this can be. Although I will try to put this in a coherent format, I'm pretty sure it will not come out that way.

            I get more excited every day and if this continues, I am going to be crazy full of excitement by the time event actually arrives. I'm almost positive if my excitement continues increasing on a slope at the same rate, it will go through the roof and thus having an undefined slope! Oh no I just didn't- - randomly nonsense terms come to my mind.

         Naturally they're not nonsense terms at all, they're  tidbits of math that I get to relearn every year. While many people would consider this a mundane and boring job, even though I try to retain the information and maybe I do, the information is presented in such astonishing ways that it seems like a completely new concept each time it is presented. Henceforth, I am once again filled with childlike excitement :-). My mind wanders back to high school days and reminisce on lessons from Mrs. Spearman's geometry class, Mrs. Simmons’ Algebra 2 class, Mrs. Ratliff’s trigonometry and pre-calculus classes, and my wonderful classmate Natalie Austin  who came to my house and attempted to teach me calculus after I came out of a coma and was released from hospital. That wasn't the best mixture (learning calculus simultaneously with learning how to function as a human again) needless to say I don't think I successfully completed that class :-).

Back to my excitement… not only was my disability taken into consideration when choosing the location of the hotel, but so was my love for spending time at Starbucks: the hotel has 2 Starbucks in it as well as many other exciting amenities. This post sounds kind of like one I've already posted, but I'm sure there will be quite a few more similar posts so bear with me.

         Continuing with the events of yesterday, once my wheelchair was finally repaired I went to King Soopers and then Wal-Mart. Much to my delighted surprise I ran into Ms. Camill and if that wasn't exciting enough, she had much of her crew with her: My Abby, Hannah, Logan... I think that's it. Talk about overstimulation city!

But wait! There's more - - I managed to get on a bus where I ran into my favorite Chris. Although I was pretty sure he was moving to Denver quite a while ago, I keep running into him and it is so awesome!

Excuse my random writing that do not flow at all but I think they're exciting :-) although I may be a little biased.

Mentally Actioned Packed Day!!

Mentally Actioned Packed Day!!

Going into Starbucks I saw a few of the normals and it was awesome to see Mr. Dave  who is a normal bnt I finally remembered his name! I also met a family with three little children under the age of five who were originally from the South. I heard them talking about Florida (being the South, that opened a door) but she has lived in several States. Feeling a little more standoffish today even though I was dressed in normal clothes and not in my workout clothes, I did not strike out and start conversations. I actually had many other things on my mind and I knew I needed to catch up on posting devotions.

     Much to my surprise a very professionally dressed lady, Renie, came over talk to me! Could it be true? A random stranger coming to start a conversation with me? Whether she sensed that I had a brain injury or knew I was a Christian, she first invited me to Church and then we talked about her job. She works for two different neurologists!
My day could not get any more exciting….BUT WAIT!!!

         Ms. Renee showed up at Starbucks and I was super super happy to see her because it has been a super long time :-).

While I was sitting in my rearranged office, a beautiful lady and her precious baby came over after I asked if I needed to move my wheelchair. She said I didn't need to move it but that I looked familiar while I simultaneously was thinking the same thing. Her name is Princess and she remembered me from Pikes Peak Community College! Pikes Peak Community College? That was over a decade ago!

I met also Ghost writer Mary Ann Herring.  After learning a little bit about what a Ghost Writer does, it looked like it might start raining so I decided it was about time to try and find necessary shoes for a certain costume I had in my head. I knew they had the shoes earlier in the year but I didn't want to pay that price for another pair of shoes. With high hopes I decided that I would go look for a pair of that may pass for the costume. When I got in the store and I talked to the worker about my needs and was shown a pair of shoes, Not only was the aisle crowded but I thought that I should look for something else as all of the sandals on sale :-). Then I had to hypothetically shake my head and wake up and realize that the first shoes I was shown were the boots that I wanted during the school but I did not realize that they were the boots that I had wanted. They didn't have a heel and I could walk at work, these boots were absolutely perfect for the costume!  But that still is not all...My mom told me she had exciting news too. After I share my excitement about the shoes my mom showed me her new truck!

Summertime, summertime!

          As school was coming to a close three people were discussing their vacation plans. Not everyone was taking a trip, but many people were.  The past trips I've been on I've been on absolutely exciting and I would love to go on another one.

         After being reminded that I love to fly  when I went to my cousin's wedding in Virginia, I wasn't sure what the next trip would be. Up until this point, my only summer plans were going to Starbucks and writing and going to  a college for a couple Shakespeare plays. To many, this may not sound exciting but I manage to make most things at least exciting if not intellectually stimulating.

         Yesterday I received text from my boyfriend asking me if going to a Star Trek convention in Las Vegas sounded better than going to Comic Con in Denver. Being that I have never been to either of them, and I’m always up for an adventure,  I said that it sounded wonderful!  I love Adventures but what many people fail to realize is that although it may not seem like it bothers me, I hate being the reason that others can't do what they hoped to do on their vacation because of my limitations. So to solve this I express lack of Interest in many things that I would love to do.  This is to avoid being told that I would have no fun-- people know that everyone else deals with difficulties in the exact same way I do.

         I really didn't believe Jason when he told me about a Star Trek convention although my hopes were pretty sparked. When he came over tonight unexplained more of the details, it got a little more real.  As he explained what we would be doing to make it easier to get around (many people are very patient as I do not move super swiftly), Jason took many and perhaps all of the possible situations into consideration before making the plans including our lodging to decrease travel necessity and increase  my freedom and nap ability (Perhaps the later is dually beneficial -- for himself and me). It was absolutely adorable when Jason said that I would be in people-watching heaven. he was really thinking about me!

To Boldly Go Where No One Has Gone Before

Good morning friends! Okay it's not morning anymore but writing is a process.

         I had it all planned out last night ... I’d wake up early in the morning and go workout with Grandpa and then go to Starbucks early enough to run into everybody else that had just finished working out and stops by Starbucks in their workout clothes. If I happened to be lucky, I would stumble upon awesome writing prompts and write. I even had several topics to write about so I was really excited. Those were my plans and that's what I thought was going to happen, and so it goes.

         I did not get out of bed in time to work out with Grandpa. That is what I get for going back to sleep after getting up at 4 a.m. and not going to work out immediately.  When I finally woke up and headed to the workout room without my workout buddy, clearly a company was there doing maintenance on the pool. Because of this, my normal route to get into the workout room was locked so I was flexible and asked if the other ways were blocked also and he said that they were. So I put a smile on face “skipped” off and did my hallway workout in the apartment.

         I am usually not that concerned about getting my workout in, but leading up to today a couple things have happened that encouraged me to work out: Jason bought me this awesome “Wonder Woman in training” workout tank top, and I went saw Wonder Woman last night, so as I did my hallway workout I felt a little stronger and a little more energized, kind of like I could conquer anything:-) But after almost breaking my nose collapsing after the nth push up I realized​ that I'm not Wonder Woman:-(

          Before I go into writing my stories I just want those who jokingly tease me about my memory (or lack of) to know that I saw a little boy outside and asked him if he had seen the Wonder Woman movie. I was super excited when he said that he had and more excited when I asked him about the movie and he said “I don't remember. :-),” in case you didn't read the post from last night, right after I saw the movie I wanted to write something important about it but I had no clue of anything that occurred during movie. I was focused​ on looking for other details and caught in the total suspense of the movie. Forgetting about the details of the movie, I am so glad to know that I am not alone.

           My favorite niece was in town and she mentioned how I always wear my headband down very low covering my eyes. And although I know she's completely correct, it is because I have a weird shaped head and the headband will not stay on my head. After seeing​ Wonder Woman, that is how I wear my headband (although only one of them has jewels)!  So this is just one more piece of evidence that I am Wonder Woman.

      I feel weird about coming later in my workout clothes because when I don't go early in the morning, I tend to run into business people although I did Sherry later in the and she had just got done with her work out and was still in workout clothes. This did make me happy however right after she left two men were at the table behind me talking about autism. My excitement skyrocketed and forgetting I was in my workout clothes, I turned​ around and introduced myself. I mentioned a few topics they had discussed that led to my invading their meeting, we discussed the autism conferences, they handed me their business cards and why? What do I have a business meeting random people in Starbucks? Then they encouraged me to  further our conversation via e-mail.

        In the midst of this I was told some important information by my boyfriend but being so excited about the possibilities of what man in regards to  the gentleman's meaning I interrupted, I didn't have time to let the first round of excitement separate from the second round of excitement. People may be reading this and think ….. she's too hopeful and sets her hopes too high.  Ir all started when I was a tutor at Aspen Pointe, although I tutored math, I was asked to speak at a drug and alcohol recovery class. I quickly asked the director what would I have to talk to them about? That's when he expanded my horizon and showed me that my accident isn't just talking about a car accident and how I have overcome the difficulties, this man showed me how the possibilities are endless.
