This month I have only been going out 4 or 5 days a week. Some days I am too weak to walk and have to go home. Yesterday I was only out an hour when I realized I was becoming very weak so I had to head home. Other days I have to stay in due to the snow and wind.
It has not been much fun although like I said I do have cable for the first time in my life and I am enjoying it immensely.
I have been unable to get to p.t. or o.t. due to weather and other hold backs. Like I told you the walking and bussing takes everything out of me, so it's rare in winter for me to be out for more then 5 hours a day.
There is no doubt I would be doing many evening activities if I had a car. I still badly want and need to get to a warmer climate.

"carless"
So, quite honestly, the only way I could get safely from point a to point b is to change my shoes multiple times while outside.
the other day, there were a few blocks where i'd have to walk through high snow (need actual snow boots) then other areas where I had to get across a flooded road (in 20 degree weather with no monsoon boots) and other areas where I have to walk on ice. (I now own ice cleats)
I have already twisted my knee in this mess. In order to move i'd need security depo, moving costs money and I'd have to pay much more in rent. I can see no way out.

"Craziness in my apt. building"
I can't disclose exactly what it is yet on my blog, but it is the reason I have been awake for 4 days straight.
I am soooo overwhelmed. I need to move and I know where I want to go but I don't have the money to both move there (it's warm there)
and to
buy the winter coat and boots and long johns and crampons that I'm going to need to survive here in "Alaska!"
It terrifies me to know that tonight we will get up to seven inches of snow. We will go down to single digits.
And at least for the next 5 days we will be in the 20's with possible ice, high winds and more snow.
The concept of being imprisoned to my apt. is a very scary one despite the fact that I have so many shows I'm following on cable.
I haven't smoked the medical marijuana in months. Once a month I purchase a couple of brownies however because I sleep well just by taking 2 or 3 bites of one. They knock you out so you really can't have any brownie while you are out of the house.
I've been referred to physical therapy (it's free) which will include aquatic therapy. Swimming is my favorite sport but I have not been in a pool in 11 years.
Being in warm water is like a high for me. I am after all a Cancer!
I can't think of anything fun I've done since September. I have to be back home by 5:30 each day because the after sunset temps kill me.
