Yesterday I was extremely calm, strangely calm. I did my laundry and even though it was three days later than before (determined by how many pairs of underwear are washed) I did the craziest thing. I emptied my underwear drawer and folded my underwear. I don't think I have ever folded my underwear, I just throw it in the drawer. And the oddest thing is that I didn't just fold them in half and say there ya go, I took my underwear and folded each pair into thirds! What?!? Oh my guys, my brain must be calmer...WHAT is next? Hold on to your britches because soon will be the next exciting story in "The Simple Things."

What's Your Style?
Devine Adventure #2242020
It was only a quick jaunt to the office that morning because snow was coming, but I was blessed beyond measure! I was able to see Rich, Dave, Barbara & Mike, Tiffany & James Wieker, Matthew and John Wylie.
I got so excited when I learned that Tiffany who is 40 years old is 4' 11 and 3/4-- I was 4'11 and 1/2 in high school before my accident so that resonated with me :-).
Matthew is the inventor of the beer from Evergood- Skier Pee, and after all this excitement my brain was already racing and I did have the beginnings of a headache, I still got a full day's wage when John Wylie blessed me with a cup of coffee! I was able to drink it very fast so I could get a refill before the snow covered the sidewalk.
You guys have no idea how much this brightens my day; I'm sitting here crying like a baby. And to think I was researching why my friend cried like a baby but found out what I already knew and have been told I have and that it is pretty common among brain injuries. Although this time, I pretty much think it is because I'm weird!

Fantastic Friday!
Fantastic Friday!
Today is a Fantastic Friday, the sun is not up and I already know
that helping out my favorite librarian followed by exciting events is the way things will go.
However I am prepared for deviations from these plans because --such is life.
If I knew where to find some I'd be off on a search to bring the staff beautiful purple loosestrife!

Kimi's thoughts unprocessed- Tuesday
Woke up this morning and El Shadi Came on the radio. Memories of my childhood flooded my mind and I remembered singing/my mom singing Amy Grant in Church, then my best childhood friend joined a Facebook group with me. This really makes me want a chocolate Coke from Kwik Inn!
Monday started out super hard. I learned that if I don't get straight and a bed when I wake up a war starts. Even though I had just looked at my clock to see what the day was, it did not register. I knew that regardless of the day I needed to get out of bed. I no longer can hang my outfits for the week visible in my room so I had never realized how much I used this cue to function.I got out of bed thinking I should head to the office but I passed my closet thinking oh no it's a West day! I had so much fun the day before at Church and going out to eat with Eric and his family that yesterday had to be Saturday. I finally settled on the idea that no matter what day it is, it's early enough I can go Starbucks, let my brain settle and then come get ready for the day.Sitting there I realized that I still can't figure out when I should take my medicine if I'm not taking it at night so I don't sleep all day (meaning not after 8) but still wake up rested and ready to face the day. Recently I met a man whose father had a heart attack. He was inside screaming for help but the party was outside. His heart stopped but when he fell down he hit a table and this jump started his heart and he lived for an additional decade, WHAT? Not journaling or having alone time for a few days has me so confused.

Warm- up Wednesday!
Warm up Wednesday
First appointment of the day was at my home my abode--
My awesome daddy went into my room with his load!
Sitting at the computer I heard a loud boom … but sooner than later daddy showed me his awesome work (and like Auntie Suzy) he said Vavoom!
The next meeting was at my office indeed,
John showed his Matchbox Minis, Tonka Tinys, Drivens the differing tires-- the speed!
Afterwards the office did close
As I looked at the thermometer it was not at just chilly or cold the temperature was stuck ...it froze!

1/13/20 Office adventures again?
Office adventures started out extremely exciting today. My first appointment decided that we needed to meet at a nearby restaurant. Anyone that knows me knows that I cannot turn down food…. most of the time. Our 2nd appointment excited my neurons like crazy as he discussed the autism scale followed by his accomplishments: an associates in computer science and bachelors in business management! WOWZER! Saying that reminds me that I was able to hang out with a friend from college and a friend from my 1stish volunteer job!
I may be getting back into journaling and writing the adventures of my day, but right now I'm so excited about life I don't know what's gonna happen….Praise God!
Arriving at the office extremely late, it was clearly God's perfect time! Sherry and I finally got to meet after me being absent from my office for several days. She said that she bought me cookies many times to Starbucks but now what she has left is what I get (she was trying to be angry but all I could see is Bachan trying to be angry--my heart melted!) The gift I did receive today was far better than the cookies she said I don't get anymore and her angry tone. I am falling more in love with this job more than anything I can imagine! And to think, I am doing what all of my parents told me I should do before I started stressing myself out in the school district. If I had not done that then I would not have the amazing relationships I have now nor the amazing volunteer position I have. In this position I was asked to share my book twice within a week! It probably does help that I volunteer at a location full of the target audience.
