This past weekend we went to Historic Brattonsville with Brad’s Aunt Nancy and cousin Tamara. For those who haven’t been reading my blog a while, Historic Brattonsville is a local working farm with buildings from the Revolutionary War to the post-Civil War era (Reconstruction). They have interpreters who dress for […]
This morning Felix and I headed to our old food bank. We tried getting accepted to a new one that said they would accommodate Brad’s dietary needs, but we were rejected because his needs were too complicated. So back to the old food bank we went. Every single time I’ve […]
Today I had a doctor appointment about some warts on my foot. I thought they might be burning the warts off, so I brought my wheelchair so I wouldn’t have to walk on it. Felix has been to this doctor once before, but I had carried him almost the whole […]
Today on Sam’s Club they had a big sale on some things like gift cards. We got a gift card for Disney stuff that was 10% off, and a gift card for Taco Bell that was 20% off! There’s a Taco Bell nearby that has outdoor seating. I’ve never taken […]
Today we had dog training class. We are in rally/obedience II. The best thing Felix did today was rear end work, but I’ll get to that eventually… I decided to work Felix in his new (to him) galaxy service dog harness to get him more used to it. So part […]
Tonight we went to the Fiery Crab with our friends Sabrina and Russ. We were celebrating Brad and Russ’s birthdays! We hadn’t seen Sabrina since August because she went to Indiana for a trip in early September and then got sick, and then I was super busy. It was so […]
This weekend I had the NAMI SC peer retreat. We had peers from all over South Carolina come together for a weekend of connecting, relaxing, and sharing. I helped plan the retreat, so of course you know that I planned it at the same hotel we use for PSDP conventions– […]
You may remember that last week at dog training class, I ran over Felix’s paw and he was acting scared of the wheelchair. I had planned to do wheelchair training with him when we went to the fair over the weekend, but those plans ended up getting canceled, and I […]
Today we finally were able to get our updated COVID shots! We went to our favorite small family-owned pharmacy that we use for all our medications. We’ve never gotten vaccinations from them before, but they apparently don’t require appointments and they are always super fast, so we decided to try […]
Today we had dog training class, and it went pretty well for the most part… until I ran over Felix’s paw in my wheelchair! I am too upset about the paw-running-over to talk much about how the rest of class went. We worked on heeling, on platform work, on comes, […]
