I’m going to focus my attention on writing a short, seasonal story in hopes of getting over whatever writing funk I’m in. Just gotta decide whether it should be fanfiction or original material. 🤨

The hardest part of my morning routine is not crawling back into bed.

I might not have the energy to shower but at least my pets are happy. They’re first priority, always. ❤️

Murphy, a black and white Guinea pig, in his pen. He’s sat on top of a blue watermelon blanket and is eating hay out of a flipped wooden arch.

Sonny, a black, ginger, and white guinea pig. Next to him is Paddy, a scruffy ginger and white guinea pig. They’re sat on top of a monochrome, paw-printed mat, eating hay out of one of two flipped wooden arches in front of them.

Girl-not math: push myself into exhaustion burnout now and get everything done while I’m already hurting, and deal with the consequences over the next couple of days, knowing that I can slow down. 🥲

All of this to say: I’ve had a very productive day even though ✨ everything ✨ hurts. It’s just baffling to me that productive equals some of the most mundane tasks which, until a few years ago, I could start and finish with ease.

Chronic illnesses are difficult enough to navigate without high pain, low energy days. 💤

That’s enough to make me stop watching.

Watching the first episode of Monster: The Ed Gein Story. Should I quit while I’m ahead? I’ve seen lots of people saying it’s sick.

Disabled people aren’t “less than”.

It’s not a moral failing.

Most people will experience disability at some point.

It’s a minority group you can join at any time.

We need more accessibility, inclusion, accommodation and compassion.

There’s no social justice without disability justice.

The air is chilly, I’m making fruit crumbles, and my kitchen smells of apples and cinnamon… I think it’s time to rewatch Gilmore Girls. 🍂

There’s something about wholesome interactions with strangers—sharing smiles, compliments—that feels like pure magic. ✨

The smallest things make my day. Passed a female bus driver and both times we looked at each other, we were both beaming. 🥹
