#I'm trying so hard

I always love Georgie but she's especially pulling her weight today. So incredibly validating to get a character who responds to everything with the appropriate levels of alarm.

I love the OIAR, but even Celia was like "oh! That's probably bad!" and then hatched crazy Evil Master Plan instead of Georgie's "you're being followed by a WHAT" "you were researching WHERE" "IT TOOK YOUR STORY???" "if this is who I think it is, we're cooked" Truly, she has what it takes to be in charge (preservation instincts).

so many tips for budgeting/being frugal are just twice as hard when you have a disability

"meal plan!" idk if i'll be feeling well enough to cook every day so it's hard to plan for what to eat

"cook in advance!" i can't cook meals for a whole week at once and plus i can't count on that because again idk if ill feel okay to cook at the same time every week

"use cloth napkins and towels!" those need to be washed and folded, i already have trouble doing my laundry

"delivery is expensive, always shop in person!" going to the grocery store can wipe me out for the day.

"base your food shopping on whats on sale that week!" one, allergies are a thing and some people don't have that luxury, two, that's a lot that you have to prep for and that takes energy.

"DIY!" takes time and energy. maybe i could do it by myself but would it be worth all the time i need to take to recover?

i mean none of these are bad ideas or trying to exclude people. most of it is cutting out conveniences. but for disabled people, something that's a convenience for someone can be a necessity to others

i remembered i can use this blog to vent so here goes. i'm working with a kid who i'm pretty sure has adhd and i've implemented a reward system that i specifically said is for good behavior - for finishing a task without getting distracted. i didn't want to make it about getting things right and not making mistakes because that's something he can't really control, but since he's so into the rewards (for now) he keeps bargaining for more stickers and he wanted to get one for memorizing a set of words. except then he couldn't memorize all of them and got really sad :( i did my best to reassure him and i ended up giving him a sticker anyway for how hard he was trying but i still feel bad because i know i should've been firm about how this system works. he would've still been frustrated about being unable to remember the word, but missing out on the sticker made it worse i'm sure

Me, yesterday: Man! I'm so full of energy!

Me, today: Laying in bed, feeling disconnected from everything

parts one and two to painting your own santa fe step one : blue (use sparingly) step two : pink (use lots of it, and make sure it goes over the blue bits, also make sure not to let the blue bit dry so that you can give the 3d illusion)
