Weekly Diary contains what I did and how I felt during the past week. Weekly Diary will be published on my blog every Friday, For special reasons, the weekly diary will be delayed by a day or two. Let’s read my new weekly diary of June 20 - 26, 2025!  This diary took place in Cincinnati, Ohio which is my hometown. 

Friday, June 20 - At Metzcor, we watched Egg Drop outside. It was a great activity. The flying drone holds a special egg package. The drone flew through the sky and dropped down the egg package onto the ground. How cool! When I got home from Metzcor, I reunited with my caregiving friend, Abby. We talked a lot together. We went to BJ's for dinner - what a great dinner. After dinner, we went to my house. My mom was having a party with her grade school friends. I met some of her grade school friends and greeted them. I finished watching the first season of Ginny and Georgia. 

Saturday, June 21 - I went to Maury's which is located approximately 10 minutes away from my house for dinner. After dinner, I did a short walk through the special festival to the sports bar for my 10-year high school reunion. The weather was great but very hot. My high school reunion was somewhat awful but somewhat enjoyable. Many of my old classmates and friends were not there. I only saw a few classmates who knew me and talked with them about how we have been. A few classmates brought their babies to the bar. It was not crowded. I had a good time at the bar but the place was dumb! 😂 I thought that the reunion committee made a mistake because they picked a bad venue on a bad day same day as the big local festival. I want to urge them to do better planning for future reunions to avoid big local festivals! I gave the 10-year high school reunion 5/10!

Sunday, June 22, I had a delicious brunch from First Watch. I tried a new blueberry lemon cornbread from the restaurant- it was delicious. I drank a watermelon refresher drink from the restaurant. My friend, Karen and I spent the day at the country club for the pool and dinner. At the country club's pool, we learned that the pool lift didn't work because a mouse chewed through the wires so it had no electricity. That news disappointed us. Instead of the pool lift, I sat in my wheelchair on the edge of the pool and Karen splashed me. The pool was packed. The weather was beautiful but very hot. I got a pina colada cocktail at the pool. We also shared a pretzel. We had to change our clothes for dinner. We went to the patio for dinner. At the dinner, I ate a chicken scalloppini with creamy polenta and vegetables- delicious 😋  We had so much fun today.

Monday, June 23 - When I was getting dressed, my dad accidentally dropped and broke my deodorant in the bathroom- Ahhh and yikes! He cleaned it up. I went to the hair salon and got my haircut and style done. It was a pretty haircut. I went to a Chinese restaurant for dinner- I got a lemon chicken with white rice - delicious. My caregiver tried Chinese food but she didn't like something in the food. She demanded the server to give her what food she likes. But the server refused to give my caregiver the food she requested. Their conversation shocked me and made me feel awful for her. I know she would never come back to the restaurant.  
The weather in Cincinnati is very vey hot... the extreme heat weather appears all this week. My caregiver has been going out through the hot weather every second. That weather exhausts her. She encouraged me to go out with her through the warm weather but be mindful of the heat when going out to multiple places.

Tuesday, June 24 - I had a Zumba class @ Metzcor and it was so much fun. I love Zumba because it made me stay positive and energized. I stood up at home - Standing up helps me stay mindful and calm. I got a pulled pork BBQ Mac with lemon parmesan broccoli from Noodles and Company via DoorDash - yummy! I had a very good day. 

Wednesday, June 25 - I was researching and studying all day today. I enjoyed doing the activity. I wrapped my caregiving friend's baby shower gift with assistance. My mom cooked grilled chicken dinner - yummy. I watched the beginning of the second season of Ginny and Georgia on Netflix - it made me feel pretty obsessed with it lol. I had a good day today but it was somewhat boring and quiet. 

Thursday, June 26 - I did some planning for this summer. I studied well. I had physical therapy and it went pretty good. I felt enough to improve my strength and balance. I remained positive and focused throughout my time. My caregiver told me that she needed to leave early because her son is sick so we made a good plan to ensure I'm fully prepared for bedtime before she left. I felt so bad for her son. I had the same feeling as yesterday. But, I shall focus on what I can accomplish! 

The past week has been great for me. It was filled with excitement, relaxation, fun, joy, laughter, positivity, and wellbeing. I am grateful for what I did during the past week. 😁🥰  

Thank you for reading my weekly diary. I hope you enjoy reading it. Let me know how you react to my weekly diary in comments below. I will post my new weekly diary next week.

I was born prematurely on September 12, 1996. That day, as being 32 weeks pregnant,  my mama underwent an emergency c-section because she had miserable pains in her bump after admitting to the hospital two days before. I FINALLY made it @ 11:54 am! I weighed 5 lbs 5 oz. Shortly after my birth, I suffered from a traumatic stroke as a result of my diagnosis of cerebral palsy which leaves me unable to speak on my own. Me as a newborn baby girl.  Me as a newborn baby girl with my daddy  Me as a newborn baby girl with my mama  Me as a newborn baby girl Cerebral Palsy is a neurological disorder caused by brain damage which affects my ability to move, walk, and speak.

Special Diary contains what I did and how I felt during the specific period before or after my trip. I write this diary that document my couple of days before I leave for vacation. This diary has a similar format to my Weekly Diary. Let’s read my special diary of July 25 - 30, 2025!  This diary took place in Cincinnati, Ohio which is my hometown.   Friday, July 25 - I got a new foldable wheelchair. I have been using it since I was a kid. The foldable wheelchair is a manual wheelchair that features 4 small wheels, flipped armrests, and rotated footplates. Honestly, it doesn't have big wheels which people use their hands to roll. I can't roll big wheels using my hands. I wish I could use a joystick to roll myself around. I used a joystick to roll at the school. I really want to use a joystick to roll someday. I have someone push me using a handle or joystick. I can also use my feet to wheel myself at home. I love a new foldable wheelchair. New armrests are flat and much better t...

I feel very comfortable with them.  I exercised for 20 minutes through YouTube. I enjoyed eating well. I watched Camp Alec, a short documentary film on Disney +. The short documentary film explores how kids who use AAC attend a week-l...
