So basically, winter got me like:


and the fibro is keeping me down. I'm in pain and fat as fuck. I've been deciding if I can make it another winter without a walker with wheels, fighting myself. I guess we will see this semester if it is do-able without, but I hope I can raise enough to have one. Trekking across campus is hard. You know, walking a little is not the same as walking. What I mean by this is that being able to walk a little, being able to walk with consequences, that’s not the same as being able to walk. It reminds me of this thing I saw on tumblr:

They can’t walk

yes, they can physically walk. That’s not what I mean.

What I mean is,

Can they walk to the store and back? Can they do so safely? Can they do so and still have energy left for the day? For the week?

Can they walk at home? yes? Ok, but does doing so leave them with enough energy to leave? To go to school, work, out with friends, on errands? Is it safe?

Can they walk long enough to go places, enjoy things, to do what they could do if they had mobility aids?

Yes, being able to walk, even a little, is different than not being able to walk at all.

But it’s not the same as being able to walk, without consequences, without fear of safety, for “long distances”

So when you deny someone mobility aids because they can still walk, because you want them to still walk, you’re missing something.

If they’re asking for mobility aids, their mobility is already limited. They’re already not walking as often because they can’t. Mobility aids won’t change that. But they can actually improve mobility, and allow for more opportunities to go out and be active.

I don't want to excellerate my aging but I do need you. Can you please help me purchase a walker? Everything helps.
At least that Colorado kush got me feeling like Blitzen:

working on spring semester hair. Right now I look redic but this blonde will soon be a lovely blue hue. My 1st triple ombre <do not try this at home unless you are me> and it is looking pretty hot. Pics TBD. You know, sometimes with a chronic illness, it can be hard to do much of anything. Walking, dying hair, hanging out with friends in winter, hell- even smoking a bowl can use up all of your spoons. But check it:

activism from bed <-----great read for those of you who still want to participate and shape your future from bed.

and again... help me purchase a walker!

Hope the fibro gives  you a break soon. Wish I could send some extra spoons your way 💜
