Wednesday: Up at 5:15am going to stanwood  to buy a scooter for myself.Found a new celebrity-X scooter cheap.A gentleman got one from L&I and didn't charged it once .6 months old and is brand new.A good investment for my future,such as it is.I got home about 1PM and was wiped out for the rest of the day. Seems whenever I have something out of the ordinary to do the next day,I can never sleep the night before,nothing special  just going.Didn't sleep a wink all night.

Up at 9:30,coffee and HOUSE my routine of late. Yesterday spent afternoon in baring,wa with a friend came home and was pretty much wiped out from the activity.Just walking is a chore lately.My joints in my hands seem to be getting tighter,painful to flex either hand.My rt hand has lost 90% of usefulness.My ring finger is the only one i can control enough to get some use out of.Contacted Kelly, my new insurance representitive,3rd one in a year,about the steps i need to get a scooter so I can be more self suffienct.I would like to go to the puyallup gun show this weekend but,without a scooter or chair its just a pipe dream.
