My back is extra hurty today, but today is not a stand up in the shower day, so I'm trying to sit in a way that alleviates pressure from my back, on my shower chair. 😅
Wtf
Can other disabled people who have some sort of visiting home care help me put into words why it's so exhausting.
Like I know why, I just want to hear from other people too how they feel about it and what they think is effecting them. Etc.
And how it can be exhausting even when you know it's good and it alleviates a lot of other exhausting things.
Today I'm practicing to actually refer to having PEM as being sick (Post Exertion Malaise). And not refer to it as "just PEM". PEM is some serious shit, cause it's pretty much an autoimmune reaction.
You see sick when you get PEM, don't diminish that. 💚
I was like, let me just finish off this game, then I'll get up and get ready..
Lol, I got up, spilled stuff, cleaned it up and now I have to sit down again lol.
I can almost feel excited that I might be able to get my dog their first proper guide harness! I just gotta get through our monthly bills and my girlfriend's camera, and then I'm like one inclusivity job away from it
I say when I've taken 3 this month and literally can't leave the house, shower, or even work multiple days in the past week week.
fuck.

#tired #pooraf #mecfs #disabilitylifestyle
coool joints burning already
I just fuckin love working through the goddamn pain xD
(I'm benig sarcastic but also trying to psych myself up because I have no fuckin choice yknow?)
Fuck your bright ass website about caring for your family member who has ME my eyes are dead and so is my brain
Ugh so fucking tired. 3 day crash that I keep pushing through because I'm poor af... this sux
I made life easier for myself, I brought one of my weights down so I can do my exercises against the tension headache if I'm downstairs as well.
It's such a simple thing, I could've done it a year ago, but also I didn't even have the IDEA to take one downstairs to make it easier for myself.
I guess this is #DisabilityLifestyle
What's a small thing you could do for yourself that would make something you struggle with immediately easier?
Do I want to use my limited energy on learning blender again / more? Ehhh not really
Strictly speaking I hate computers lol would like to have the energy to learn to sail and never be inside a house type building ever again for any fucking reason
But I guess since that's not happening maybe I'll get the focus to blender by watching some tutorials

#brothClub
Got this to try since I was trying a bunch of broths anyhow
Not as good as homemade and isn't a jelly like our homemade always is. Tastes alright, not plain but not fab, needed a little soy sauce
