Looking Forward to Olli

I sent in my $215.00 in to Olli - Cal State Fullerton, for a whole Year of fun, learning, and challenge. It's my job to pick my battles, find the things that will work for me, and not over do it. I see that they have a weekly Wednesday afternoon watercolor class, also there is a Plein Air class at the university side, but I need to know if they paint on the grounds, or go off campus to paint... also the art buildings are on the opposite side of the campus from the Olli building, so what should I do about parking?

I will have full access to the gym, and I need to find out what they have that I might be able to use - pool? jacuzzi? how hard is it to get to it all? What's the locker setup, can I leave things there, or must I bring it each time? Is there an arthritis aqua aerobics class by chance? It would be so nice if I could manage it, but there are some things I may be able to participate right at the Olli building, as I feel able.

I'm feeling enthusiastic about this, but I need to remember it's a challenge, and I'll go and check the place out physically and think about my strategy to make this a success.
How hard is it to get to the library?

  1. Boy you said it! Each trip from the house involves almost as much strategy as the Battle of the Bulge.
    We didn't go anywhere on Friday, I shopped AND traveled AND sat up to visit with family all day on Saturday, so had to pass on a lovely visit with our friend Chris on Sunday. One f the best things bout my new power chair is that I will not be exhausting myself just doing house things. I can scoot around in the house instead! :-} Of course not all stores will be accessible to my chair, and most of our friends houses won't be, but I can go to the library because the inclined ramp is no longer a problem!!!
