After having a talk about family, sentimental value, and loss, I realized that the things we keep in memory of our dead loved ones are of need and comfort. Personally, I have my grandma’s pillow.

What item do you have that means instant connection to your dead loved one?

First time around in August 2025:

And now:

So, anyone using a Permobil Smart Drive, please reach out to your wheelchair team and have them help uninstall and resolve the issue ASAP.

So, it turns out my power assist is trying to kill me …… again.

*sarcastically*
Thank you Smart Drive for having so many problems.

*genuine*
I really hope that things can be fixed. I want to actually go out and run errands without my wheelchair trying to end me.

Damn vampires, always taking my blood…

I could be wrong, they could’ve been a phlebotomist.

Regardless, I didn’t feel a thing.

I mentioned smooth criminal because they stole my blood from me. 😆

I just realized that I used the #BetterLife rather than #BetterTomorrow which is what I am aiming for…

Tomorrow is another day, tomorrow is another step forward, even if today was shaky.

30 - September - 2025

Today is National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.

We remember those who were stolen from their families, lives torn apart, and culture nearly destroyed by the Canadian government.

We recognize the harm of our existence as descendants of colonizers.

Not all days are the same,
looking for the moments of rest,
engaged in the actions of living,
the fresh taste of a fruit,
hoping for calm,
wishing beyond existence for ease,
Maybe tomorrow will come with reprieve.

Does this mean the Indigenous peoples of Turtle Island will get their land back in full because all the colonizers and descendants of colonizers are gone???

Have you ever wondered how the far right manage to normalize their ideologies into the mainstream, as we’re now seeing in the United States?

Well, let me explain it to you — because they’re trying to do it here in Canada, too, using the term “remigration.”

This is important:

When events happen in life and it feels like the weight is crushing you, just BREATHE.

Think of what to do, take action, see it through.

Whether is sitting up to drink some water, taking a medication, fighting for equality, or being over run by hate.

Take a breath and think of your next move.

Yesterday was one of the worst days I’ve had awhile.

Still dealing with the pain today - more than 36 hours later.

Right now it’s around a 7/10.

Sadly, throughout the day, my head was getting to an unbearable level. I keep trying to have medication free days - sometimes it’s okay, but I don’t think today is one such day.

Look on the bright side, today was productive and I felt better.

With cool breezes on the rise, the summer set to hide, we must find our one to hold because soon it will be cold.

Whether they be fluffy or scaled, naked or clothed, the one the brings you happiness is the one you cherish and want to snuggle.

I’m kidding around. I feel pretty good despite still having a migraine. I was able to laugh a few times today.

Maybe laughter is the best medicine. 🤔
