Toby: I haven't ever seen much about the Paralympics. Do all the competitors have similar equipment?
Meg: Well they don't all have the same disabilities, but I don't think there are any races where one guy's in a wheelchair and another guy's running on a pegleg.
Toby: There should be, though.

Saturday was a nice productive day, with exactly the right amount of non-lazy leisure time mixed in. Toby cooked while I cleaned up a lot, then we did some chores together, and it was just a really good day.

My first therapy session in a month was today. I didn't really feel like leaving the house but it was sooooo good. I had a lot to talk about and got some really good feedback, and after crying through some drama, I'm feeling empowered and validated and capable. I hope it lasts ( Read more... )

I'm at that point in the trip where almost everything is irritating me and I just want to be home. It's too hot to get comfortable, and every time I attempt to relax, someone is knocking on the door or barging into the room. My brother wanted to go to a restaurant in the next town over tonight. He's been here before and wanted to visit that place ( Read more... )
