Another Avalanche From Above

BONUS PRE-RAGNAROK POST: First of all, to make this a "teaching moment", read this and tell me it ISN'T more appropriate than "Snowmaggedon": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ragnar%C3%B6k Secondly, in talking with a friend online who has also been snow-bound like much of the Midwest lately, and had to spend an inordinate amount of time indoors, I learned that he wasn't even aware of some of the delivery options available in this city. For myself and others like me, they are often a very necessary last resort. I include the ones I know about below, and hope they're of use to at least some of you snow birds out there, about to be grounded by another punishing bout of winter weather: UberEats.com @UberEats on Twitter UberEats customer service (in case of changes to an order): (800) 253-6882 www.grubhub.com www.MrDelivery.com www.dominoes.com www.papajohns.com www.jimmyjohns.com Also, if you're local to my area, I know a number of grocery stores will deliver if you set up yearly pay account with them, and they all also have discounts/loyalty programs. Just go to their website and start hunting around! Remember that everyone will want to stay in if they can, no matter HOW well-meaning they are under normal circumstances. These conditions haven't been seen at all--by many of the young people in this area. And people my age saw it a long time ago and now want to just help their kids get through it! So have a heart. I wouldn't take advantage of any of these services if there is any other option in the freezer or the fridge or the pantry. But if you must, certainly DO take advantage; no reason for a soul in GR to go hungry or be too cold, with all the resources in this lovely town. We just have to be willing to make sacrifices and concessions to help each other out. I think we can safely say after this winter that the days of taking any little luxuries we thought we were entitled to for granted are OVER!!! Cheers, Lovelies; stay safe:)

Still Not Quite Visible

Alas, Lovelies, I don't think this is anything new. I would argue the news is scraping the barrel for stories with this particular article. I have ALWAYS felt left behind, being that I am immoble except on foot. And now I'm finding a lot of my friends in similarly vulnerable positions as mine--also feel as I do. Just some food for thought. You may think the world is passing you by, but things always look grim from the lense of your own struggles. I will definitely remember that, moving forward. Recently I spoke with a woman who was there with me on the night my late fiance was admitted to the hospital. We hadn't seen each other in years, and I don't think at this moment she remembered me, but I remembered her. She asked me a number of pointed questions about my capabilities, and in particular those about making decisions and/or plans for myself. I realized that from my perspective, I am limited in mobility. But AT LEAST I still had my wits about me. At least I can deci

Out of Hibernation!

Happy New Year, Lovely Readers! It's been shamefully long since I posted, but SO much has been going on lately! Honestly, my schedule is getting away from me, and one of my first purchases of the New Year will be a day planner. Yes, these days even Google has a calendar for your whole agenda, and I could just rely on that to keep me straight. But just because I write something down in my Google calendar doesn't mean I'm going to check said calendar every day! I could miss something, as I did last night, that I had been hoping to attend. I guess that's just another thing I'll have to forgive myself for; I'm not perfect, in fact I make a lot of mistakes, but that's just the way I am. After so many years of my life, I've decided "screwing up" is just something I do, and nothing to get upset over. Which is what I wish I could tell everyone with a disability. So many of us hold ourselves to an irrational standard, thinking we have to meet a cer
