I'm finally feeling better! did a bunch of chores & a Costco run, which has returned me to my usual spoonlessness 🫠 on the plus side, they had sweet potato fries again, so if I'm housebound for a bit at least I'll have treats

The number of people who think they have my OG gmail address & use it for *account recovery* is just bonkers. If I got a nickel for each one, the Tiktok emails alone would make me a billionaire 🙄

If you figure it out, I'd love to hear about it! My wireless cams can be annoying.

ok, I got the z-pack and the steroids and the inhaler and I'm resting and hydrating and taking hot showers and have consumed so much hot lemon and honey I'm turning yellow and would very much love this stupid fucking bronchitis to go the fuck away already 😣

My nose runs all day, every day, anyway, so I'd pick that. Sneezing not infrequently means vomiting for me so that's right out.

@spoonfulofhan

The idea that disabled people must be constantly visibly suffering to "prove" we're disabled is just the adult version of "if you're too sick for school, you're too sick for TV."

I have some bills piling up, so a sale or two at my shop would be much appreciated. If you're interested in my fabric art, I'd love for you to check out what I have available. Each Jeremy Creature is designed and hand-sewed by me and takes many hours to create. jeremycreature.bigcartel.com
Here's a lovely photo of a plethora of hand-sewn fabric art creatures. There's a watermelon creature with a red face, eight black seed-like eyes, and a wide mouth with five sharp teeth. There's a white ghost trinket bag covered with purple embroidered flowers. She has a gray face, sparkly black eyes and a little frown. There's a strawberry creature with three bulbous green eyes. There's a watermelon ghost, and a black creature with sharp teeth wearing a bulbous eye earring. There's a large purple creature with many yellow eyes and an open mouth, with a little green creature popping her head out. All the creatures are sitting on green fur and there's a galaxy print fabric in the background.

We don't talk enough about how utterly lonely it is being chronically ill and/or disabled. Most times I'm able to cope with it, but sometimes it's absolutely crushing, all encompassing, to the point where I can feel it in my bones.

Check in on your chronically ill and disabled loved ones. We're very tough and persevering but that doesn't mean what we're going through isn't really hard and isolating.

Spent the day hardcore resting after a physically and emotionally draining week, which I badly needed, and once I'd recovered enough HP to sit upright, spent the rest of the day reading and plotting 😈

I am constitutionally incapable of napping, alas. Sleep happens at night in a big chunk or not at all. Sometimes not even then but that's a different problem.

Doctors appointments ruin the entire day
neurodivergent urge to simply wait for the single scheduled event of the day to start and do nothing else in the meantime

Girl, help they are making me do tasks before the scheduled event.

quasi-normalcy

My conference is in 9 hours; do I have time to bathe?

Scary Larry @ain...

When 92% of the population puts off or abandons medical care due to fear of financial ruin, you’ve got yourself a shithole country.

More Perfect Union @MorePerfect...

An overwhelming 92% of American have either delayed or totally abandoned medical care because of how expensive it is, according to a new survey.
