Being Disabled
Dunno where I was going with this but I found it in my notes... Being disabled is sacred. It’s as individual as a thumbprint. As fluid as expressions of gender. As singular as sex. I won’t sit here and paint it as a penultimate existence a la monks subsisting on...
Slow Poisoning
Apparently I’ve been slowly poisoning myself. This latest tartar sauce/ gut busting situation was the watershed. I looked at the jar of vegan Mayo in my fridge by the same company and it too has pea protein now. I have no idea when this change took place. I’ve already...
Feverish Brain
My insides feel/are severely bruised. When I yawn or breathe in deeply, there is discomfort. My GI tract is swollen. My throat feels like one part of it is enflamed. My guts are still swollen. Going to the bathroom is tear inducing. My belly is low key warmer than...
Pea Protein Poison
I love tuna salad. It’s a great source of protein (17g/2.6oz.), it’s quick and I can confidently eat it within 20-30min when pressed for time. I also love tartar sauce. Finding a gluten free, soy free tarter sauce is like finding a Unicorn. But I found one. And I’ve...
67 Degrees of Anxiety
I’m supposed to be heading out to run an errand. It is 67 degrees outside and windy. I have a wrap on but I don’t want to go outside. I need GF bread. And I want to buy a pack of my GF hash brown patties. Not enough to warrant an Instacart. I don’t feel like being...
Twig Solutions
Possible solution to my twig utensils situation... I forgot what theses ones are called but they are by the same designer. The bowl of this spoon is much deeper than ones I use now. Feels different in my fingers too. But they are light and they work. Forgive the egg...
Price of An Emergency
It’s said that $400 is the average amount of an emergency in this country. If many of us had about that amount, we wouldn’t get jammed up when bad stuff happens. I squirreled away a bit more than that after I moved here. I’m glad I had the forethought to. This...
Tired. Sleepy.
I hunted down the status of my ordered casters for my lifter and began formulating a plan c, d and e since it appeared the new casters wouldn’t get here in time to surrender the rental lifter by next Monday. But disaster was further averted when I was assured and...
Five Alarm Emergency
UPDATE: Rental just arrived. It ain’t pretty but it’ll do. Now to await the casters... —————————————— Never mind the hair/debris sticking out the sides. The wheel on my hoyer lift decided it was sick and tired of this existence - so it peaced out. I use the hoyer lift...
Anxiety
I stopped eating off of paper plates when I moved into my current place. Because my old house wasn’t exclusively gluten free, it just became easier to eat off of paper plates to ensure as little cross contamination as possible than to risk using gen pop (communal)...
Fat
I was called fat today. That I had gained weight all over. I was also told that I was ‘lucky’ to live where I’m living - said in a way that implied, I should not have nice things because I’m disabled. Simultaneously, I was used as inspiration porn for encouraging this...
Death Stare
Apparently I have Death Stare. A way my facial expressions simultaneously convey a succinct ‘WTF are you DOING?!’ with a chilling side of ‘I will END You!’, wrapped up with that look your Momma gave you when you were acting a whole fool. This was detailed to me by one...
