...
Three weeks ago one of my [FAULTY] bike foot-straps broke-off. It didn't just come loose. It completely ripped-OFF. I almost slipped. I could've fallen down, injured myself & ridiculously SUED 'em for buttloadS o' money.
BOOOOO!
But, I didN'T. WHY NOT?!
'Cuz my coordination is better than that, & I righted my positioning. So, I called the company (WorkmanCycles) to complain. Representatives apologized & promised they'd send a replacement & a technician to install it.
So, not-until yesterday (20 days later) does a company repairman [finally] get out to fix my bike. Thus, he attaches the replacement. Today I went out for my weekly ~2.25 mile bike-ride 'round my 'hood. However, after not-even an eighth of my ride, the LEFT strap--the very one that was just replaced--completely broke-off AGAIN. This time I lost my balance & stumbled but did NOT fall.
WHEW!
(... Thanks to my ENGINEERING-mind!)
It turns out that the dumbass-company sent me two RIGHT-footed pedal-straps. A T.B.I.-sufferer is a more intelligent engineer than that whole frickin' company!
P.S. WorkmanCycles bike company is WORTHLESS!

(TUESDAY 2) Write THAT down as well.

(MONDAY) THAT was INCREDIBLY ENCOURAGING!
...
This afternoon at my FANTASTIC gym (NeuroFit 360) I WALKED--sans walker, sans cane, JUST my [new] trainer's standing behind me & LIGHTLY supporting my back--~25 feet in one direction, did a 90-degree LEFT turn, WALKED ~40 feet in a new direction, PAUSED & STOOD there, as another trainer & patient SLOOOWLY maneuvered by, WALKED another ~20 feet, did a 90-degree LEFT turn, WALKED ~15 feet, did a 90-degree LEFT turn, WALKED the remaining ~60 feet & sat down on a cushioned bench.
At the end of my session, I repeated the procedure for my ~80 foot WALK outside to my wheelchair.

(WEDNESDAY) Spoiler alert: I'm a hopeless romantic.
...
So, I write ... like, NON-stop.
Currently, I've written EIGHT books, with at-LEAST six more on the way. Regardless of the genre of my stories, I always include a ROMANTIC twist. Neglecting the current romantic-FUNK I'm in, I write what I want.
Also, I went out to see the movie--'The Meg'--today with my brother.
(HIGHLY recommend it)
P.S. I'm changing the adjective "hopeLESS" to DETERMINED. I'm a determined romantic.

(SUNDAY) I've got BALLZ.
...
The fact that I can admit, teach-about & even JOKE-about my painfully-debilitating Traumatic Brain Injury is courageous & commendable.

(MONDAY) Makin' up for it
...
I forgot that I ate my dinner EARLY, before I worked out at my LEG-gym. So, as my trainer had already gone ~12 minutes over my allotted hour-long exercise time, I chose to just skip my ending-crunches & to depart. I didn't want to keep my nurse waiting.
Upon leaving my gym, however, my Caregiver informed me that my nurse fed me BEFORE my workout.
... Thus, I just did one, two, ... four sets of 50 FULL sit-ups in my bed.
... And, I feel GREAT!

(SATURDAY) . I couldn't agree MORE.

"You'd be SUUURPRISED how interesting people become, when they THINK you're REEEEEALLY stupid."
--'Disturbing Behavior'
... As a DIRECT-result of others' IGNORANT treatment of me as LESS-than them, I am [ALMOST-disturbingly observant.

(THURSDAY) I write what I cannot do. ... Until now.
...
So, I've become a writer. I really enjoy it.
In my writing, I'll frequently type
"AUDIBLE sigh"
to signal SEMI-tired frustration. Up until just recently, I haveN'T been able to physically DO that myself.
But, after much practice & focus, NOW I CAN.
