SO many lube bottles to clean out. And then I’ve got to make a batch or two for tonight. #fisting #ffun #ff #lube #chores

Apologies for digressing somewhat into the weeds: the point is that all of this figuring-stuff-out on an #AISH (provincial #disability pension) that has not risen since 2016, is expensive, time- and (personal)energy-intensive AND are all genuinely monumental accomplishments given my disabilities and lack of functionality in extreme heat.

My #mitigations don't even necessarily make things comfortable, they just make it less-likely I'll die from preventable consquences of #ExtremeHeat.

And this point is important, because I HAVE been successful in not-dying (yay! 🙂), but the mitigations are NOT SUFFICIENT for me to live a 'normal life' (my normal, under my normal range of restrictions/challenges) during the #FireSeason and #HeatSeason.

IOW, not a lot of extras get done during these extended periods.

In light of the above--a combination of increasing environmental stressors that negatively affect my #disability management and day-to-day functionality against a background of ongoing pandemic--it should come as no surprise that my #SocialHousing unit is presently the very opposite of tidy.

Annual stretches of multi-month #physical non-functionality from #ExtremeHeat (and also often terrible #AirQuality) make it tough to keep up with all but the most basic tasks.

And for many #disabled folks, our disablities, chronic #MedicalConditions, necessary #medications, and so forth may already have made "keeping up with the basics" pretty challenging in the best of times.

And these are NOT the best of times. Not by a long shot.

Taking care of the important things for the week (roasted coffee, waxed a bicycle chain). #random #chores #coffee

Today's accomplishments:

1) Fell off the ladder as it slid out from beneath me.
2) Hit several branches on the way down.
3) Landed on top of the ladder and managed to break it.
4) Somehow survived with only minor cuts and bruises.

I think I'm done trimming the cherry trees in the back yard. #Weekend #Chores

A journey through life… 💜

I've written about my views on life before. How I wondered what the reason was/is, how I try to get through every day, wondering if it's really worth it, wondering if I am "doing it right". And, while struggling with my health issues, both mental as physical, in a world that becomes harder to deal with every day... Things get more expensive, people are always so busy and pre-occupied, wars are started without any "valid reasons", except for greed and people just being evil... People are hurting, struggling, trying to make ends meet. And yeah, I am one of the struggling ones. I am fortunate enough that, even though life could be easier at times, I am still blessed with loads of positives. I have a place to live, I have power, water, warmth, food, hobbies, a car... I also have a body and brain that aren't my biggest fans. And my piggy bank isn't feeling as fat as it would love to be... But, that's not the worst. Dealing with daily pain, dealing with emotions that are sad and dark, struggling with feelings like guilt and jealousy... Bad dreams, tears, aches, discomfort, worries... But, I don't like complaining, as I know it won't solve anything. But, it does make things harder at times, because some of these emotions and feelings are just so overwhelming. 😞 […]

Started working on the second ribbon tree and so far, very happy with how it looks! Should finish tomorrow and will share a pic. 😀

Laundry washed, dried, folded AND put away! Second time this year and it's freaking me out a little 🤪

New meds are working for: leg spasms, neuropathy and blood sugar! 💊 🩹

I hope y'all have a lovely evening! Be kind!

I feel really #sick right now. And the more I think about the important #task that will be overdue on #monday, the sicker I feel. So, I guess this is #psychosomatic. 🙄

This really sucks, because up to now, I always felt mentally better when I was physically ill. When I’m ill it’s okay to do nothing, I felt. Now, that my brain found this loophole to prevent me from being #productive, I guess I’ll have even more unnecessary #stress than before! 🤬🤬🤬
