I am literally trained to be an expert in this type of thing and it still baffles and confuses me on multiple fronts. Just give people health care!

Okay I am bending my rules and wearing sweatpants to work from home today (because of a combo of “my coworkers do this so it’s fine” and “I’m in pain and hard pants are a bridge too far”) and it feels wrong

I am grumpy because I had to move my life stuff around because of a work thing and the work thing is now being rescheduled. With my luck it’s probably for another time I’ll have to move things around again

“Can I do it?” is a terrible measure of disability. Yes, I can do it. Can I do it repeatedly? Can I do it safely? Can I do it without support? Can I do anything afterwards? Can I do it tomorrow too? What does doing it COST? These tell me a lot more about my capability.
