I hate being as tired as I am. It might be because my medicine is out. And I guess it helps me more than I realize. I seem to be the kind of person that doesn’t notice the effects of a medication until I stop taking it. A couple things are over the counter, but they really help. 

My son had his band concert yesterday. The teacher has taught them well. It’s one of the best middle school bands I have heard.

Não deve chuvas hoje

Odeio estar tão cansado quanto eu sou. Pode ser porque não tenho mais remédio por enquanto. E acho que o remédio me ajuda mais do que eu percebo. Parece ser o tipo de pessoa que não percebe os efeitos de um medicamento até eu parar de tomar. Algumas coisas estão em balcão, mas elas realmente ajudam.

Meu filho teve seu show de a ontem. O ensino ensinou-os bem. É uma das melhores bandas do ensino médio que ouvi.

Cellphone that is more than a phone 

The fact I know when I need to go to the bathroom 

Indoor heating, it has been very cold the past week 

I am so glad this Christmas season is almost over. I hate the crowds everywhere. I can’t sidestep. I need to be very careful so I don’t run into something or someone. I usually go out during the day when lots of people are at work or school. 

I went to the store yesterday to many people.

Estou tão feliz que esta temporada de Natal está quase acabada. Odeio as multidões em todos os lugares. Não posso evitar. Preciso ter muito cuidado para não me encontrar com algo ou com alguém. Costumo sair durante o dia em que muitas pessoas estão no trabalho ou na escola.

Eu fui à loja ontem para muitas pessoas.

Feliz Natal

I’m not the best at translating. I am getting better. 

Não sou o melhor na tradução. Eu estou fazendo melhor.

August 2

We went to the Dr Pepper museum 

Nós fomos ao museu Dr Pepper

August 12

I guess I had to much fun on vacation. Time to get back into the swing of things. 

Last night we went to bingo and after we got ice cream. 

It was very hot so swimming was fun. 

We went to the store to get a few things we needed. 

Some days I wish my children weren't quite as energetic as they are. I wouldn't change them though. 

Eu acho que tive muita diversão em férias. Tempo para voltar ao balanço das coisas.

Ontem à noite fomos ao bingo e depois pegamos sorvete.

Estava muito quente, então a natação era divertida.

Nós fomos à loja para obter algumas coisas que precisávamos.

Alguns dias, eu queria que meus filhos não fossem tão enérgicos quanto são. Eu não os mudaria.

August 22

My car has been in the shop for 6 weeks. I was told they accidentally broke the windshield. If it wasn't the only place that fixes my kind of car.....oh well. 

Went to church yesterday. 

Came home and played with my children. 

I was pretty tired after they left. They are so energetic. 

Meu carro esteve na loja por 6 semanas. Foi-me dito que acidentalmente quebraram o pára-brisa. Se não fosse o único lugar que conserta meu tipo de carro ... tudo bem.

Foi para a igreja ontem.

Veio em casa e joguei com meus filhos.

Eu estava muito cansado depois que eles saíram. Eles são tão enérgicos.

August 27

Yesterday 

I went to the gym. Not a lot to tell there. 

After I got home I was so tired I fell asleep in my chair for a while. I hate it when that happens. It's so hard to move for so long afterward. 

I watched new episodes of "Once Upon a Time" on Netflix. I don't watch broadcast TV. Some times I don't know what is happening in the world until after the fact. Over all it hasn't hurt me. If the earth explodes let me know please. 

I tried to finish some jerky I had started. I did get it going but I came to a very important realization again. For the most part I need to be the idea man and let someone else do the physical labor. In many way I hate that idea. I like to do things for myself if I can. I cannot do many of the things I would like to. I can surprise myself and others at times. But there are still a lot of things I can only do very badly. 

Long story short, I ended up on the floor last night and had to call a friend to help me up and back into my  chair. 

Then I was able to go to bed. 

Ontem

Eu fui para a academia. Não há muita coisa a dizer lá.

Depois de chegar em casa, eu estava tão cansada que adormeci na minha cadeira por um tempo. Eu odeio quando isso acontece. É tão difícil se mover depois.

Eu assisti novos episódios de "Once Upon a Time" no Netflix. Não vejo transmissão de TV. Algumas vezes eu não sei o que está acontecendo no mundo até depois do fato. Sobre tudo isso não me machucou. Se a terra explodir, deixe-me saber, por favor.

Tentei terminar um pouco que eu tinha começado. Eu fiz isso, mas eu cheguei a uma realização muito importante novamente. Para a maior parte, eu preciso ser o homem da idéia e deixar alguém fazer o trabalho físico. Em muitos aspectos, odeio essa ideia. Eu gosto de fazer coisas para mim mesmo, se puder. Não posso fazer muitas das coisas que eu gostaria. Posso surpreender a mim e aos outros às vezes. Mas ainda há muitas coisas que eu só posso fazer muito mal.

Longa história curta, acabei no chão ontem à noite e tive que chamar um amigo para me ajudar e voltar para minha cadeira.

Então eu pude ir para a cama.

18 December 2017......and June/July 2016

My body has been going through such upheaval lately. I feel great. Then I feel aweful. Tired then I have a lot of energy. Maybe that’s lime. 

We went Christmas shopping with my children this weekend. We had our disasters but over all it went great. 

We have found a new tradition for Christmas shopping. I’ll tell about it later. 

And now if I really want to know about my life here’s something from 2016. (Mic drop)

June 19

I have been so tired that I haven't wanted to do much. I did something with each of my children individually this past week. I ended up being really tired. 

Today is Father's Day my children gave me some very fun things. A bow tie, tee shirt, socks, and candy. Awesome stuff from awesome children. 

Went to my daughters dance recital. It's wonderful to see young talent. I wanted to bawl when I saw the father/daughter performances. I will most likely never be able to participate in anything like that and performance in my chair would not be the same. If someone has a suggestion other than that I am more than willing to try. 

June 28

I am feeling super tired today. You would almost think I have never been tired before. My lemon tree is awesome. Watching a version of Dances with Wolves that I have never scene before. Lots of deleted scenes. It makes a lot more sense now. Able to understand a lot better understanding the cultural differences and the importance of slow communication and connection. 

I have decided to use my right hand most of the time to operate my chair when I am alone. It would still be a good idea for me to use my right hand when I'm around other people. 

July 1. 

I went to the VA to get some medicine that I thought I could live without for a few days. When  I woke up I wanted to bawl. It hurt so bad. Instead of doing other things I had planned I ask my helper to drive me to the VA. We got my medicine. And that was that. Everything else took a back burner. 

July 28

Yesterday was busy for me. 

I want to the Gym, Beyond the chair. That made me tired. 

I came home. My helper assistanted me I starting some jerky. I will finish with my children. 

The rain came down pretty hard. So I let it water and wash my lemon tree. 

My apartment complex had a bingo night and dinner. Fun and yumy.

I am so fed up with being tired all the time lately. So I’ve decided that I have to do somethings anyway. At least I can do some things when I’m tired still. 

Yesterday I went to church. We got a new bishop in our ward. My congratulations and condolences at the same time. All in all church meetings were good. 

I want to write more. I don’t know what. 

Medicina que funciona

Pancakes em uma vara com salsicha

Estou tão cansado de estar cansado o tempo todo ultimamente. Então eu decidi que eu tenho que fazer alguma coisa de qualquer maneira. Pelo menos eu posso fazer algumas coisas quando ainda estou cansado.

Ontem eu fui à igreja. Temos um novo bispo na nossa ala. Meus parabéns e minhas condolências ao mesmo tempo. Tudo em todas as reuniões da igreja eram boas.

Eu quero escrever mais. Eu não sei o que.

8 December....snow?.....in San Antonio....(dumb look)

Awesome or not awesome. You decide. 

I forgot yesterday was Pearl Harbor day. The best thing that ever happened that day was the Japan’s bombed Pearl Harbor. That was pretty horrific. That’s all. 

Incrível ou não incrível. Você decide.

Esqueci que ontem foi o dia de Pearl Harbor(Havaíi). A melhor coisa que já aconteceu naquele dia foi o bombardeado de Pearl Harbor no Japão. Isso foi muito horrível. Isso é tudo.

7 December....I’m back....mostly

So I took a break from most of my blog publishing for a while. I still was writing, and I will publish it a little bit at a time. As boring as it is. 

I like to think that I am fun, exciting, and amazing. Really I’m about as boring as they come. For some reason some people like the fact that I can write and I’m not in a semi-vegetative state. I’m just me. 

I will say this. I could run mental circles around most people. Nuff said. 

If you think I’m being bragadotious, that’s fine I won’t say it again. 

 I need to translate what I write into Portuguese, so my girlfriend and others can have an easier time reading what I write. In some ways it is for me, to help me improve my ability to read, write, and speak Portuguese. Understanding and comprehension,that is something different. 

Yesterday was a great day in many ways. I went to the gym. Then I came home and did nothing for the rest of the day. 

Então, fiz uma pausa da maior parte da publicação do meu blog por um tempo. Eu ainda estava escrevendo, e vou publicar um pouco por vez. Tão chato quanto é.

Gosto de pensar que sou divertido, excitante e incrível. Realmente eu sou tão chato quanto eles vieram. Por algum motivo, algumas pessoas gostam do fato de que eu posso escrever e não estou em estado semi-vegetativo. Eu sou apenas eu.

Vou dizer isso. Eu poderia correr círculos mentais em torno da maioria das pessoas.

Se você acha que estou sendo bragadocio, tudo bem, não vou dizer novamente.

Preciso traduzir o que eu escrevo para o português, então minha namorada e outros podem ler o que escrevo. De certa forma, é para mim, para me ajudar a melhorar minha capacidade de ler, escrever e falar em português. Compreensão, isso é diferente.

Ontem foi um ótimo dia em muitos aspectos. Eu fui para a academia. Então eu cheguei em casa e não fiz nada para o resto do dia.

December 5, 2017.......May 2016

May 25

I went to the store. Watermelon is so good. 

May 26. 

It's early and I have needed to do a lot of typing already. No one can convince me that typing is not manuel labor requiring physical effort. 

I thought about shopping for shirts. I rearranged everything and I have enough. For a person who worked in fashion design and costuming in many ways I don't care as much as I used to. I still like clothing and costume a lot and think they are very powerful in the right hands. 

May j was fixed I went to my children's school to watch my sons people puppet performance. He is amazing. Of all my children, he is the one that likes to perform the most. 

I rode in my chair to the school and back. The sun is quite intense here, so I got burned. It was good I was wearing a hat and sunglasses. An hour and a half one way. I left at 11. I got home around 4:30. Long day. 

Today I've rested and recovered. 

May 29

Went to church. Came home. Felt sorry for myself. Went to bed. 

May 30

I'm up and was very excited for a new day. Then I heard the thunder. Now I can hear the rain. I think it's a good reason to stay inside. 

I'm feeling a lot better now than I have been resting a lot. 

May 31

My helper had to come early. I have two appointments at the VA. Trying to figure out how some things at the VA work. It is beyond frustrating
