For little over a month now I have been taking an early evening stroll through my neighborhood. I usually go as the sun is setting so that I don’t have the sun in my eyes or beating down on me. It’s a little cooler at that time, although that depends on your perspective. [...]

Last night I found a tiny gecko in the living room. I almost ran over it before I realized what it was because it looked like a piece of plant matter. The tires on my wheelchair often track in miscellaneous debris from outdoors when I take my sunset stroll through the neighborhood.

Last night I scheduled a grocery delivery from Safeway.com for this afternoon. So at 10:30 this morning I get a call from a delivery driver asking if I would like my groceries delivered now instead of later this afternoon. Of course! He said he is about 15 minutes away. A while later the doorbell rings [...]
