Polyamorous life: getting good-naturedly roasted by your spouses after your disabled ass goes down over the Easter weekend😂💀

My brain fog is so heavy today I forgot the word "amnesia". Some days you just have to laugh at it all😅🤣

On a completely different note: I finally started the process of getting new prosthetic eyes.
I've been wearing poorly fitting ones since I was 16. They became too painful and uncomfortable to tolerate, so I'd mostly stopped wearing them.
This week I got new molds made. They might need to be slightly larger next time, though. My ocularist wants me to wear the current shells and see if my eyelids open up more.
I could only manage a few hours before needing a break, so I'm definitely readjusting.
It's uncomfortable. It's tiring. But it also feels like progress after a long time.

Some days the emotional weight hurts more than the physical pain.
This space is for naming what actually hurt today.

If I'm going to enter my goth era at 46, as disabled guy I needed new compression socks, of course!🤪💀

PEM is definitely some bullshit-one of the most frustrating parts of disability.

Well, seeing as I'm currently on bed rest after illness(thanks, disabilities, for giving me a New Year's challenge😅😂), I am now here with my own account. Now to find the rest of you to follow😁

It's a gentle day here today, as PEM is making itself known again. Journalling, YouTube, bed rest.

For those of us who are disabled, the struggle is so often between "Do I do these tasks/errands now, even though my pain and fatigue is high and I don't know if I'll be able to complete them, or do I put it all off until tomorrow but risk the distinct possibility that I will feel even worse, still not be capable, then wish I'd attempted the things today."

Errands must be run. This requires outdoor clothes and shoes. Why is shopping in pyjamas not a thing?😂

If I can’t make fun of my situation, what’s the point in living, right?

peak #DisabledLife #WheelchairLife is referring to getting between point a and point b without the use of a vehicle (car, bicycle, bus, whatever) as walking.

yes, even when I'm using my wheelchair.

yes, even when I'm using my power wheelchair.

and all the disabled people understand but the abled people are confused as shit.

Whew, cleaning warms a body up too much. We've got a session with our declutterer in two weeks, and we wanted to do some pre-work on the kitchen. So we did! Spouse and I are both disabled (him long covid, me chronic fatigue and others), so it takes some rubbing of spoons to make these moments happen. But hey, progress is good, and means that we'll be able to better focus our time with Samantha (the declutterer). We've worked with her before and we love her lots.

Past that, just curled up with games-and-yarn. Enjoying the fact it's super overcast outside; it makes my soul happy. Where's my fellow Reverse SAD folx, ha ha, y'all know the score.

Right, gotta cool off now. I had to put the a/c on for a bit to help with the post-cleaning overwarm, so between that and the external gloom I'm starting to feel my flavour of cozy. xD

I was productive today. I finished my comic for Friday, continued client piece, and started inking a fantasy map to stay awake. Mysteriously I am not done with my to-do list despite these efforts.

Almost like dishes don't do themselves, important papers don't find themselves, laundry isn't able to crawl from the hamper into the machine by magic and...yeah that's it.

Good that there is some day left because I need a nap. And food that doesn't like to just...appear.
