Journal:

07:30 am Betty woke me, telling me Audra was not up. I had an appointment at Life Plex Rehab at 8:00. I woke Audra, gathered my clothes, and knocked on the bathroom door.
07:45 am Jonathan finished his shower, and I started mine.
07:55 am Laura drove me to my appointment.
08:05 am My appointment started late (my fault). They did not do any vertigo therapy. Instead, they tested my ability to balance while doing various tasks intended to stress my balance. The therapist believes my difficulty driving yesterday is due to a need to train my eyes to focus quickly against complex backgrounds. She wants me to practice the eye exercises she previously gave me against a black-and-white checkerboard background.
08: 25 am I called Laura for a ride home.
08: 40 am I arrived home.
09:00 am Betty asked me if I was aware Audra was still home. I called the school and left a message for the school counselor to call.
11:30 am Audra left for school. Betty drove her.

(Entered Tuesday 9/20/11)
Yesterday morning Jonathan was running late to work, and Laura was sleeping in. Jonathan asked me to driving him to work. I agreed. This was my first time driving since the doctor forbid me to drive after my accident. I had no difficulty driving Jonathan to work, but on the way home, I encountered moderately complex traffic situations that demanded attention in a number of directions at the same time. I felt on the edge of being overwhelmed. I did not actually experience vertigo, but the feeling was similar, in a way I would have difficult explaining. I do not feel ready to drive.

I cancelled an appointment with my Chiropractor due to flu. My back is feeling better. No vertigo today, but started school work late due to flu. Finished the project assignment that was due yesterday, and turned it in to turnitin, and to the dropbox.

(Entry created Tuesday, 9/20/11)
I was ready for church on-time, but I had no transportation. Finally, at 11:00 am I gave up on church, did my daily Bible reading, and started working on the school project assignment that is due tonight.

At 2:00 pm I stopped working to fulfill a promise I had made to watch "Soul Surfer" with Laura and Audra. I thought the move was amazing. Betty would have liked it if it were not for the bikinis. I found the entire movie tasteful and uplifting. Although there was more skin than most movies, it was a movie about surfing. There were no inappropriate close-ups, and no bad language. The true story is about a tragic shark attack. There was enough blood to tell the story, but the movie was not about the shark attack. It was about faith and how God use bad events to bring about good results. I disliked the dialog about how God has a purpose in tragedy. I think God's purpose is carried out regardless of tragedy. God certainly uses tragedy to leverage positive results, but He nether needs nor causes or plans for tragic events to happen. God is good.

At 5:00 pm I realized I was loosing my "edge," and I realized I would not finish my project on time. I wrote an email to my teacher asking for more time, and I relaxed the rest of the evening.

Journal:
06:45 am Woke with severe back pain.
07:00 am Woke Audra and started breakfast
07:30 am Verified Audra was on-track
07:50 am Audra started slowly eating breakfast. I told her the urgency of hurrying does not end just because you know you will be late. Audra took a very small bite of her sausage patty and said nothing.
08:00 am I told Audra if I had been running late, I would have grabbed the sausage in my hand, eaten half of it in one bite, and then eaten the second half while heading out the door. Audra just glared.
08:05 am Audra said goodbye, and left for school with Betty.
