Unpleasantly Hot

Ladies and Gentlemen, Is it odd that I "hermit" in the blazing hot summer?! Afraid to leave my relatively cool apartment. Content to order in and play nature sounds of wind or rain, and let a prescription written weeks ago lapse into oblivion...it doesn't concern me:) Happy to stay in and pay bills online. Well, not HAPPY, but certainly more willing to do that than to risk passing out in this heat!! That's the reason I'm putting off picking up my prescription! It's at a pharmacy that I know keeps its internal temperature WELL below the outside, so as you cross the threshold the fluctuation makes you light-headed. Better not to risk it. And I have a busy couple of days coming up, so I need to conserve energy. And it simply has to rain soon!! Aside from the heat, and the dormant humidity sitting on your skin making the air heavy and the allergens feisty, the pressure differences are ALSO messing with my head, just as badly as anything else:( And I'm not the only one who has these issues! I've learned as of a few years ago that a lot of people have headaches and light-headedness due to pressure changes in the atmosphere. And they do say that shared sorrow (and by extension shared discomfort) is a half sorrow. Hence the value of a blog. And the clouds do feel like they're descending, just a little bit. And my ears are popping. I hope I'm not alone in my desire to shelter in place from this horrible heat. I know it's not even THAT bad. If I were in the western United States, or even just further down the eastern seaboard, I'd be dealing with temperatures in the 90s to 100s, and untold levels of humidity along the coast. So I'll take my Midwestern discomfort over THAT any day of the summer:) I just wish it would really rain:) Cheers, Lovelies!

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
