We finally had an offer accepted on our perfect condo, in the location we wanted with the best view. We take possession on October 7th and I will be back with new posts shortly thereafter. Thank you for your patience.
Until I return, here’s a preview of my dream view.
As you know I am a staunch feminist. News of Gloria Steinem’s passing hit me hard. Of course it became more inevitable with each passing year, but I just wasn’t prepared. Tomorrow is #FeministFriday and I’m working on a post to honour her memory. Until then, please enjoy the following video from Netflix where Ms Steinem explains how she wants to be remembered.
Portability with the Strutt ev1. Thank you, Singapore
Apparently a sales person from the Strutt team is in Canada this month. I’m really hoping that they will come to my city so I can test drive the wheelchair before I buy one. I’ve texted with a member of the Strutt team and put in my request, so hopefully they will get to Vancouver island before they leave Canada 🇨🇦. In the following short video the wheelchair gets thoroughly cleaned.
If your future self could send you one sentence, what do you hope it would say?
You’re going to get better for a while before you get worse.
Unfortunately I’m facing the real world fact that I’m a 61 year old woman who is permanently, partially paralyzed woman who uses a wheelchair. The only thing that’s going to get better is the technology ofon the he wheelchair i use. The truth is I’ve been depressed lately and I’m finding it difficult to hold onto hope that I will experience any more physical improvement before my life ends.
Beginning on Monday hubby and I are starting to actively look at condos physically again and we’ll be looking for a new SUV as well. I’m also hoping to take a test drive before purchasing a new wheelchair.
We’re changing our lives mostly for my mental health. And I couldn’t be happier about that.
