I’ve only gotten my 1st vaccine shot and still have one more to go, but as I get closer to being able to return to some kind of normal — or at least a new normal — I wanted to start documenting some of the change. This past year has been so filled with anger, … More On Life After the Vaccine, Vol. 1
One year ago from Friday, I walked into my beautiful office for what I didn’t know would be the last time for a very very long time. I drove to work that day with a giant pit in my stomach. I wasn’t sure what this COVID thing really was yet but I had a feeling … More On This Day, 2020
When you grow up in a world that doesn’t feel like it’s built for you, you’re going to inherently feel a certain way about things. People may not understand it. They may say you’re overreacting or being too dramatic, but this is our reality. I love to travel but everywhere I’ve gone, there’s been some … More On Perspective
Over the last 7 months, I’ve heard a lot of things in relation to the pandemic. Some have been said directly to me and some not. Either way, I wanted to compile a handy list of things people really shouldn’t ever say to someone who has a disability or who is high risk for COVID … More Things Not to Say to a Disabled/High Risk Person During a Pandemic
I thought maybe I would devote a blog to something other than letting out my frustration about the current state of our country and COVID. Even though that frustration is still very much present and probably will be until there’s some sort of solution to all of this. I’ve been single for a while now … More On Being Single During a Pandemic
One of those most frustrating things about this pandemic (besides the obvious), is my inability to exercise like I used to. Going to water aerobics at least twice a week was a life saver. I could work my body out, keep up my strength as much as possible, and have fun. Without that option, I’m … More On Exercise During COVID
There are a lot of reasons to care about COVID. It’s killing people, that alone should be enough. In my state alone, almost 9500 people have died now. The other part that’s getting a lot less exposure is what is happening when the hospitals get overwhelmed. As more and more people get the virus and … More On COVID, Part 5000
I’ve never really believed the adage that “life is too short.” For me, life has always felt a little too long even though the years seem to fly by the older I am. Then COVID19 came. I didn’t think life could feel any longer than it did before, but when you’re spending day after day … More And the Quarantine Continues
This is something that I just sent to my local Board of Supervisors. They are refusing to enforce the state’s mask mandate, requiring everyone to wear masks (so are the sheriffs and police). Because many of us with disabilities can’t safely attend meetings, we are now able to send our comments to be read aloud. … More On Masks
There’s one thing I’ve been immensely fortunate enough to gain with this pandemic and that’s time. Time to do all those projects I’ve been wanting to do. Time to relax and not have a never ending To-Do List or always having somewhere to be. More importantly though, I’ve had a lot of time to self-reflect, … More On Who I Am
