BedRest

To make it easier to sit up and work/play in bed, with decent neck support I built this. A wedge pillow is hot, weighty and awkward- so on bad days, the effort of picking it up and moving it around could be too much, and also I am pretty heat intolerant so wanted something that could breathe more. I have made about six different version of this, including ones that don't automatically rise. I have also been hit on the head by those, because...

Gear 4 ME

What do I actually use? I gave an overview of some good options, but when the rubber hits the road... Or when you the hit the road/internet/information superhighway, this rubber protects my poor toes/hands/wrists... I think I killed the metaphor. Or brutally murdered it? Mice I have a lot of rodents running around my room. No George, don't get excited, mice, not Ferrets, though occasional rabbits if Spike is misbehaving :S No standard mice at...

Anger, my Favourite emotion!

Not rage, though. Anger, healthy anger, is such a powerful emotion. “Anybody can become angry — that is easy, but to be angry with the right person and to the right degree and at the right time and for the right purpose, and in the right way — that is not within everybody's power and is not easy.”― Aristotle “Anger is just anger.

Actually it got worse than that, in the last year. Enduring what he put me...

ME? LOCKDOWN WAS ALREADY MY NORMAL

May 11, 2020 Illustrating this artwork for ME/CFS advocacy was a struggle for me this year. Partly due to my physical and cognitive limitations of not being able to sit upright (even in bed) and concentrate for long. The other barrier was emotional. It has taken me many weeks to illustrate, then articulate words to accompany this image, all while my inner monologue argued why I should or shouldn't share something so raw at this time....
