Cheer Me On

My migraine went away, I haven't had the runs today, and I fixed my fridge. The day is getting better. I have been trying to get my earrings in but so far I've only gotten one of them in. I got some really cool earrings. Unicorn skeletons, spiked tiny hoops, and skulls with chains.

My mom told me boys don't wear jewelry. Every boy I know wears necklaces or bracelets and rings. I wish my mom could understand genderqueer so she would know how I feel. But she's not ever going to understand. Oh well. Ya win some, ya lose some.

Everything fits and looks so nice. This is my favorite shirt so far. All the jewelry is good quality and cute. I wish I could post more than one picture. I want to show off my new stuff!

I filled 4 bags of trash and took them plus one cardboard box to the dumpster today. It took 2 trips. My back really hurts now. But I'm very proud of myself. The only task left for the day is to take my night meds before 10pm. I'm so proud of how focused I have been the last 5 days. I want to make her proud of me. And I want her to feel proud of being with me. I'm not perfect but I love with all I've got. #CheerMeOn #Relationships

Some flowers to hopefully brighten your day too! 🌺🌷🌻🪻⚘️

Brushing, flossing, and cleaning our teeth is, quite frankly, a hygiene task that most non-disabled folks take for granted. There are a lot of things that can make it hard: mobility issues, depression, brain fog (sometimes you just forget!), sensory sensitivities, and chronic pain to name a few. It can also be especially tough if you have an autoimmune disease like #SjogrensSyndrome or #Lupus where you produce less spit than the “average Joe.”

So, on that note, what are your habits? Is it hard for you? Is it something you do no matter where your money and body are at for the day? What tips do you have? (Gentle reminder: This is a safe space. No judgement about what you can or can’t do!)

🦷 P.S. Here’s a good Mighty story about the topic, too: How Long-Term Hospitalization Severely Impacted My Dental Health

On the app my girlfriend and I are using some tasks required photos for proof of completion. For instance, today my chore was cleaning my kitchen counter. Washing stains, organizing non food items, throwing away trash, and putting away food and organizing my tea and coffee station. It took me 45 minutes to finish. I took the picture and submitted it on the app. My girlfriend is at a chiropractor appointment right now so when she is done she'll see the photo proof and approve it. It's a once per week chore so it's worth 5 points. I'm halfway to earning a sticker. More importantly I am making my girlfriend proud of me and I am very proud of myself. I have always thrived with structure.
