I'm on!



Well, I'm writing this from my monitorless computer at the center. I usually talk to Chris on the phone, dictating my blog to her, or wait until I get home and enter a blog from my own desk top. Hopefully I'll be able to add to my blog at a more regular pace.

The editing process is a bit more difficult for me here than it is at home, so bear with me.

I've had a pretty good week with travel and Braille. Those two classes were giving me fits the past couple of weeks. I was getting more than a little bummed out.

I was getting no where in Braille. I was not feeling the dots very well. The teacher gave me a new workbook which would be similar to reading a large type reading book. The spaces are a bit larger than the normal Braille book. It makes reading the Braille much easier for me. I always could remember the dot placement but couldn't feel the dots.

In travel I was getting lost or walking off the sidewalk. Yesterday I traveled around the court house without an incident. The last time a deputy sherif stopped me twice and asked me if I needed help. I told him that I was in a class and could get back alright. He didn't want me to walk back. I finally had to take off my shades to convince him that I could make it back on my own.
More later.

  1. Your blog looks great Ken! I'm not sure I could write a blog that I can't see on a monitor. On to a vacation for you. I'm sure you can use a break.
