Winced

I went from taking my supplements three times a day to taking it four times a day. But then, my pills were not fitting into the container very well, so I decided to change to a ‘ninja star’ pill box put that ended up not working either after a little bit..

That pill box was pretty short-lived because it only lasted a few months and now I got this one:

I am not going to lie because seeing this made me wince a little bit. Sean came by today to bring up the Christmas tree and I showed him my newest pill box.

I first showed him the three pill day because that’s what my pills used to be. Now, I use that to store my Saturday night vitamins because that’s when I pillage so all of my pill containers need to be empty.

Then, I showed him my newest box. It is so big!!! I told him it looks like a laptop! He kind of chuckled and said that it looks exactly like that! I opened up the lid and he said that it looked so organized. That it does, but I still winced because it’s so big?!!!!

This just feels like a culmination of me getting sicker and sicker… I see my naturopath on December 16th.

Enough of a Taste

My Thanksgiving meals are modified now. I can no longer eat turkey and that wasn’t a really big deal for me anyway. Now, sides are made for me and they are delicious!

My Thanksgiving meal first and foremost consists of a nutrition shake because I need the protein before I can enjoy any food. I had cheesy potatoes, sweet potatoes, and stuffing.

MY Mom hasn’t been making her pies for a while, and that was a staple for me for my entire life! Well, turns out that my brother, Ray, has taken up that mantle and I had the MOST delicious piece of pie tonight!!!

I only ate half of what was given to us for my dinner. I have leftovers! That’s what I’ll be eating tomorrow. As I was eating my pie, I told my Mom that, “It feels like I’ve had Thanksgiving dinner!”

I haven’t been able to gorge myself for years as a power chair user. I just got enough of a taste today and I am content most definitely content!

#DiseaseProgression

This is the first time on the eve of ‘go time’ that I have totally changed my appointments for tomorrow.

Instead of getting haircuts, I am going to the optometrist to change my out my contacts because my eyes get really itchy and they dry my eyes out. #DiseaseProgression

I hope these new contacts fit well and are not so expensive! Either way, I have to pay for it! Then we’re going to see about shoes…

My 2nd Christmas Commercial 2025

Today, I watched the Hallmark Channel as my Mom went to get her hair done. There’s something going on with my eyes that’s kind of scaring me a little bit. On Wednesday, I go to my optometrist and get a different kind of contact lenses.

My Accessibility remote control is not fully synced to my TV so I not really use it. My mom just put the Hallmark Channel on because it’s Christmas time. I saw a few commercials though! Here is my second one!:

Denny’s reminds me of going to Texas when I was seven with my family. I haven’t seen those Christmas movies in forever! Too bad we can’t get them now because they aren’t available without subscriptions to stream.

Past Tense

I told my Mom the other day that all of my good times are past tense. She was a bit of anghast about it, but I told her that my current existence is not fun! It hurts! I just think back in my memories to escape. I heard Train today and I thought of this:

Looking at this picture, I cannot believe that I am wearing a tank top, I can’t handle that anymore at all! Also, my hair is so long! that’s a statement. I never thought I would say! It’s easier for me with my hair being as short as it is now.

This is the song I heard:

I remember that was the first time that I thought chest hair looked good on a man. I was 28. Pat Monaghan came so close to us because we were in the pavilion in the front at DTE because I’m disabled.

Of Course I Do!!!

I watched Meet me in St. Louis today because my Mom and I were talking yesterday about Tootie being the most horrible!

My Mom asked me who I used to watch that movie with and I told her that it was just me. I was so young. I told my Mom that I was going to watch it today and she asked me if I owned it. I just looked at her with a furrowed brow and said, “Of course I do!!!”

It was so great to watch and remember being a child Watching it in my living room with the green carpet. I think I’ll watch it again at Christmas…
