This chair is too small...this chair is too big...this one's just right!

Heat wave. Finally. Victoria only gets a few days of real, glorious, hotness a few days a year, so we cold-blooded people have to soak up as much of it as we can. Its kind of a sticky day, but for once there is no hint of a cloud in the sky, and it feels like if you laid on your back and looked up for long enough, you could see clear out of atmosphere, past the galaxy, and into some far-off distant world.

Finally...the moment of truth.

It was warm enough today for me to wear my recently finished skirt that I made in my art textiles course, with the help of Lisa, my EA. I designed the scene on the bottom, which reminds me of a place in East Sooke that I love very much. It is surprisingly comfortable, sewn out of a light linen fabric, loosely fitting enough that I could walk, but not so much that it's unflattering. The zipper is lightly off-center at the back, but unless I had told you that, I doubt you would have noticed. I've very proud of it. My first skirt!

I had a wheelchair fitting today. I'm getting a new wheelchair, which I am only too excited about. The wheelchair(s) I currently use are the kind someone would use for a few months with a broken leg. 2 years is really too long to be using a wheelchair with no support that doesn't really fit me right. I will be so wonderfully comfortable to sit in something cushy. The wheelchair has so much padding it seems ridiculous...I'll never want to get up (just kidding, tho). The bottom part of the one I chose feels strangely like brains...its a gel cushion. I am hoping to have part of the feel pedals in a toxic green color, which from the picture in the magazine looks like a lime green. I'm very excited about this. I am exhausted from standing up a bunch to squish into a bunch of different combination's of backs and seats. It should be here in 2 weeks or so...can't wait to go joy-riding with it...maybe a little racing too haaa.
