It is so very strange I sit here on my lunch break contemplating the restless night I had. The sleep was not a sweet gentle slumber but resembled that of a dog chasing rabbits in their dreams I am sure. And yet my dreams were magnificent beauty sweet and gentle and I was sad to awake to the harsh 7 am sun streaming through my window, on a weekend this would have been welcomed even at such an early hour because lying awake watching the sun rise is a treat when you have no other commitments for the rest of the day short of going back to sleep. But today, today my friends the summer sun was my alarm clock I had to leave the wondrous dream I was in the midst of having to get up and ready for work. I sit at my desk waiting for my co-worker to return so we can continue our joint project.
This journal is now being typed from home after a busy work day is complete. On to the dream; it was beautiful when I dream I am always walking never in my chair—that in itself is freedom but last night, was different. Last night I was in my chair waiting at the alter for my beautiful bride. Then the reception and first dance which I will admit scares me. I want desperately to dance to hold her close and forget about the physical challenges of my everyday norm I am babbling now but I can’t picture the day because of two things One I am single and two the chair!!! The god damn chair :(

Hmm...
Sounds like you're ahead of yourself here...
When you list reasons why this can't happen, you put them in a different order. First, you're single. Second, you're in the chair. But then, you jump to blaming the chair. I think you need to take these in order... :-)
And I'll stop now before I start quoting Whatever Happened to Baby Jane...

Well...
When you say why it can't happen, you give two reasons: you are single and in the chair.
Then, you go and blame the chair, which seems to be to be the secondary reason it can't happen and, from what I know, the one factor you can't change or control... unlike being single.
So, I guess I'm concerned that you have a constant source of blame that will give you a pass for being single or anything else. Will it be harder, sure, but... what choice is there?
As for the Baby Jane reference:

the chair is all i have ever known...
Jeff the chair is all i have ever known I dont blame it for anything i merely hide behind it its easier to use the chair as an excuse then it is to hmmm to stare my own fear in the eye and thus not be single if that makes sense....

OK...
As long as you can admit that, then it's fine. Just wanted to make sure you know you're doing it... :-)
