Hi Darling Ones, How are you? I have not been well, hence the extended silence. The triple-whammy of Trump’s victory + my recovery plateau + the dying of the light (erm, time change) has left me. . . sad? grouchy? angry? nihilistic? empty? I can’t finish that sentence and thus I haven’t written in more than a fortnight. Where do I even being to deal with everything? How do you come to terms with being disabled and even nice than…
Oh, Darling Ones, How are your hearts and your nerves? If you are the type of person who cares about other people, even the ones you don’t know; the type of person who wants to limit suffering and make sure everyone has enough, your faith in humanity, your heart, and your soul took a beating this week. Mine sure did, and I’ve spent the last few days yelling with people who agree with me. Something sure as hell happened and…
Hello Darling Ones, How are you holding up the day before something happens? A long time ago when I was seeing the TTHM he always dealt with my anxiety over something nebulous and impossible to know by saying, “something will happen and then you deal with it.” I carry that bit of wisdom with me and probably will forever.

It’s just not the same out of the lidded stainless steel travel mug. That travel mug doesn’t warm your hand or let the coffee steam up your glasses on really cold mornings. It does allow a Floppy Scooped person who is incapable of walking and carrying things at the same time enjoy hot bean water,…
Hi Darling Ones, Here’s a look at some of the stuff I’ve been digging this month. I spared you the Barley Chronicles but will sum it up as OMG BARLEY! Who knew? People Who Listen to My Election Anxiety You can always tell when somethings got my anxiety on high – I don’t shut up about it. As the election draws nearer I’m rambling to everyone about how anxious it’s making me. I’m afraid if Harris wins and I’m afraid…
Oh Darling Ones, Today’s one of those bad stroke days. My tremor is horrendous and the right side of my face feels weirder than usual. It’s got the tingly, novocaine wearing off feeling. Maybe it’s more accurate to say it feels like the right side of my face fell asleep and now I got that tingly, pins & needles feeling like it’s waking up. It sucks and when this happened in February, I ran to the ER. I’m not running…
