Friends,

I know that I have driven some of my friends nuts with talking about my new
ability of washing clothes, but I'm doing things right now that I wouldn't
have guessed a year or even a month ago so I'm like a kid on Halloween.  I
have successfully learned how to wash and dry my clothes totally
independently.  However folding them was another story until just this
afternoon because I had myself believing I wouldn't ever master folding, but
however I made myself try like I usually do now days, and I got it in no
time at all.  I'm very pleased with my ability of teaching myself these
independent living skills because I'm not an occupational therapist or
physical therapist by a long ways, but however seeing my progress, I
definitely want to help others be independent mainly with the idea that we
can try to make people as independent as possible, and in the long run we
can have better attendant care because we could pay them more because they
would work less hours.

Thanks,
Anthony
