about getting from point A to point B in the most interesting ways possible

If you're a large woman in America, your whole life is an opportunity to feel self-conscious, embarrassed, resentful and way too big. You can hide in the corner or on the couch, you can go to therapy, or you can put on your lycra bike shorts and get out there and move.

It's looking beautiful (and frigid) outside. I will bicycle! I will!

While my day yesterday started off cranky, especially as I was hacking some scripting that had worked before, but suddenly was no longer... well, everything turned around in the end. I got my script to work and I'm back to coding, and I had that elation that made me just want to stay at the computer and keep going. If I was single, if I hadn't had pilates last night, if, if, if.

But I still got on the bus feeling like life was very good.

And then Sweetie made me cornbread!

And I was able to scoot to pilates. And the effort of working out wiped my mind clean.

We're thinking about scooting to The Dalles on Saturday morning. Their annual cherry festival is underway, and there's a parade on Saturday. With motorcycles. The theme this year: Cherries gone wild! No really, I'm not making that up.

It's an hour and a half by car to The Dalles, and I'm not sure how long it would take us via scoot, but much of it will end up being Interstate, as there are no through roads between here and there. (Actually, there is highway 14, but it's curvy, and I think the Interstate might actually be safer)

I hope we have decent weather. I hope we have decent weather. This sounds like so much fun!

A blog I follow has been talking about adjusting to life in a wheelchair. For me, this is fascinating stuff, and more than a little scary. Yesterday's entry was about working in a building that isn't ADA compliant, and what that really means for him/her.

When I look at places for the guide, wheelchair accessibility is one of my criteria. Really, I need to make a pad with all of the different things that I want to be figuring out, because there's always something (generally several somethings) that I forget, and then I have the choice of writing a review that I'll have to edit, or sitting on it.

Most of the time I do the former, because, you know, I'm not getting paid for it and I have a deadline.

Anyhow, the blog is scooterlife and yesterday's entry was The elevator from hell

I had an odd, though not unpleasant dream last night. I only had one breast and that one was kinda mishapen. I had the most amazing dorm room, that I needed to move out of right away. As usual, communication was indirect and diffuse. I had (duh) a lot of stuff. But it was all very cheerful.
