All the things I am noticing I notice that I have some friends in my my neiborhood who check in with with me whichI am so grateful for.   I notice that,even if I'm working on my instrutional video It's not quite not like having a job. I notice that that I can drive but onlyto go to Blooming foods and the Colledge llege mall Kroger.And Target. I notice that when I walk and with friends it is mostly about me.  I notice that I can still walk  and and talk thank goodness. I notice that I'm 'm feeling isolated but Idon't know how to mitigate this...but todayI had a  fine time with an old friends who knew mewhen I was dancing and, playing theflute!  We walke downtown and was treated with alovely Brunch and conversation. Whata  balm for me. I notice I notice that my typed words are getting  better. I notice that I'm lonely.Nowhere to go No fun things  to do.My friend Cindy took r  Acaveat: Thiings are looking better with afreind who loves towalk just like me!

So, last week myspeach interns andI had some diffiulty around  tthe sematic web we use to help me find words for myself.  I need to use it so I can find the words Iwant to use since my kind of Afasia is word finding.

This Friday I will be "teaching" the apasia interns how to make  the the two pieces of origami I've made myself by reading the instructions. T he next step will be me doing nothing but using only my words to  be a huge challenge for me given that I have already tried to practice it a couple times and I'm already wiped out! P.S . If you Make something you like  it is always fine to put a frame around it!
