What Did You Do For You Today???

Today I ventured outside alone for the first time since my surgery. I had to go see a doctor for a followup and I had the choice of going to a walk in clinic a couple of blocks away from my apartment or to my regular doctor that I had to drive downtown to see. After clearing the snow and scraping the ice from my car windshield I still felt strong enough and I went to my doctor. It was good getting out and getting some exercise and proving to myself that I am getting better.
 
Made arrangements to be with my best friend for several hours today for her birthday, baked a cake for us, bought her some presents... parties make me happy, maybe because I hardly ever have had one for myself. She gave me a birthday party of sorts, so I wanted to return the favor, but make it official. This will hopefully be a yearly tradition for both of us on each of our birthdays from now on!
 
I went and got a mental health review from the doctors, which now allows me ten discounted sessions with my therapist. I had to wait a while to see him, but I finally did and then I booked in an initial session with the therapist that has been recommended to me by someone whom I respect and consider to be of sound judgement.
 
Today I heard a new song that I really enjoyed, so I took the time to memorize it. Something I love to do. Music is so therapeutic.

My husband learned English (he was from Argentina) by listening to Music on pop stations. Later, he said that music from that year (1957), the year he arrived here in the USA, would make him so happy because it reminded him of his first days here when everything was so new, exciting and wonderful!
 
We went out to the store and bought me a camera, it is my christmas present. Now I have to learn how to use it. I took my laptop with me so he could show me how to use the memory card. I had him show me how to do everything. It was reasonably priced. I even got the tech support so I can have help when I am stumped. I will have it for a year. It should not take me that long to learn how to use it.

When I am comfortable with it, and know my way around I will be able to upload a file online here. I am so excited and nervous. I feel so dumb.

Then I got us mocha frappes.
 
After falling down the stairs this morning, I am taking it very easy today, with lots of painkillers

Hope you are feeling better!

I feel so dumb

No reason to feel dumb. You are new at this. Like I tell my kids, no one is born knowing everything. Even the experts had to learn in order to get where they are.

As for what I did for myself, since I haven't been on the forum for a couple days, I focused on other tasks that needed to get done. I did what I needed to do. Now I'm playing catch up on here. :)
