A thought....

Sunday was absolutely flawless!!! The 1st annual ALS Awareness month picnic. Wow what a long title for a "picnic". lol. Saturday, Samantha took me and the kids to pick up the helium tank and balloons, to Wendy's for a fastfood bribe and then to the grocery to buy provisions for the picnic on Sunday. Shoot, I was tired after all that.
Sunday came and brought us an incredible day. Not too hot, a mild warm breeze, a cloudless sky, good food, great friends, a purpose and a wonderful way to spend a sunny Sunday. The few of us enjoyed each others company and mimosa's..... Mimosa's should be mandatory on Sundays!
Tana was absent from our outing as I have still yet to hear from her. Have heard through the grapevine however, indeed she has deemed me evil once again after a lengthy email I wrote her.
Oh, well. I have just come to a place in my life that settling for less is not an option. Blood or not. Either join me on the road, or the dust from my wheelchair will hit you. Am I too harsh? Maybe. Have I always been? Probably. However, I am done with trying to change. I am who I am. I can only work on me. My tolerance level for slackers is just decreasing.
I do realize that everyone has issues, I'm just to a point where I no longer have the energy to keep stagnate people in my life.
So with that..... Life is good. I am glad to be alive. I am thankful for waking up.
Today I met with my neuro doc at GA Tech to deliver a grant proposal for the development of assistive robots for people living with motor neuron diseases, specifically ALS. WOW!
I need a personal assistant that doesn't talk back!
Yea, I want one.
