So someone mentioned to me earlier today that I haven’t seemed my usual cheerful self lately.  And we chatted and stuff,
He recommends that I eat a banana everyday.  And I asked him why
He goes:
“Well, have you ever seen a sad monkey?”
Best.  Depression. Advice. Ever.

I’m still thinking a lot about “The Hardest Part” and what I might like to say/write about that (if anything) for the next Disability Blog Carnival.
But today it strikes me that “The hardest part” for me at least is no one little part. it varies. From week to week, day to day and [...]

I am feeling mostly better.  Really I just need to build my energy stores back up.  It really scared me how ill I felt and how much I hurt.
And deal with codeine side effects if you know what I mean… the amount I took is well with the prescribed limits but given that I rarely [...]

A while back I spent some time browsing the Blog Carnival site.  I love the Disability Blog Carnival and I was wondering what other carnivals there are out there.  Sadly there are a lot of carnivals listed that would interest me but which seem to have been abandoned after only one or two editions.  That [...]

I really would.
Only, ow, not a great idea right now.
I am a poorly sick crip right now.  I literally ache all over, my entire torso hurts (and ye olde pain meds are doing an “eh” job).  And I’ve been participating in pukefest 2008.  Hopefully that’s now over with but I do still hurt

So I guess I don’t get to run around in a cape and tights tomorrow after all.
I’ll gladly give the [...]

You know how in 2006 and before that I struggled to take my medication and rarely did?
And how in 2007 I took every single dose I was supposed to.
Well, that med taking streak has been over for a while.  It stopped with a day when I thought I still had the pills to take but [...]

I first started knitting this on Feb 29th.  And then ripped it out three times for various reasons (love the yarn but it’s not easy to fix mistakes in!  Particularly not when you drop the whole damn project off of the needles!)
However the fourth time was the charm and I started it on Wednesday night [...]

On Monday I opened the door to let a new carer in and was greeted by the words “Do you remember me?”
I hate that question. I meet loads of people through having carers and CAB and other stuff and they always remember me and either I don’t or I do once they mention knowing [...]
