No road trip this year, since we have a slightly different adventure planned for March. (EDIT: The coronavirus pandemic would’ve prevented a 2020 road trip anyway – good thing we didn’t have one planned!) Instead, here’s some advice and encouragement so that I can live vicariously when you take a trip of your own…
Once Upon a Time, I had a Baby Shower
A few weeks ago, I had the most perfect baby shower ever.
Honestly, this post doesn’t really fit in with my blog theme, but I feel strongly compelled to share this event with as many people as possible. Maybe someone planning a shower stumbles across this page? Or maybe you enjoy reading about how I live life to the fullest with a chronic illness? Or maybe you’re just curious as to what made this shower so amazing? Either way, this is what I’ve got this week.
The Juxtaposition of SSDI
Personal experience has taught me that when most people encounter someone with a disability, they tend to do whatever it takes to make the situation easier and better. Like, not only will they help me walk, but they’ll carry all my stuff and bring me the most comfortable chair and make sure I’m completely content…
Now, obviously this isn’t the case every time. But you know who actually does the opposite of this? Who seems to make things even more difficult for people with disabilities on purpose? Who creates barriers for people who can’t walk to jump over? Our government.
MORE High School Books to (re)Read
When I wrote the first version of this topic, my husband – lovingly – rolled his eyes and said, “Why would anyone choose to read about reading?” Granted, this was coming from someone whose favorite book is My Side of the Mountain because it’s one of the five books he’s ever read, but I posted it anyway. And am so glad I did.
Oohhhhh Baby!
Guess what? I’m pregnant! Quite a way to announce that to the world, huh?
