This is the whole entire reason I started farming

Yeah that was a hard no from me. Luckily I didn't need much from him and didn't have to wait months for that appointment. I've had good luck recently with the specialists that really matter!!

Totally gaslit me when I said I didn't think those results were right (BECAUSE I HADN'T TAKEN THE TEST YET), then realized he was in the wrong room and blamed the nurse 💀💀💀 those follow ups were cancelled so fast

He also started the appointment by barging in the room and silently staring at my mom in confusion for a full minute (she was there because she pushed me in my wheelchair), not addressing it, then giving me someone else's test results (for the test I was there for but hadn't taken yet).

I loooove this!!!

I know that's not exactly what you were saying, but letting go of that stress of how I'm showing up and being perceived has been so liberating

Thiiiiiis. I've been thinking about a disability version of this so much lately. Haven't showered in 9 days and my hair is disgusting? Whatever, the people who care about me won't care. If I have enough energy to either shower or see someone, I'm gonna show up nasty every time now

Oooooh those are so good, the green mango is straight up sour candy. S tier family intro activity

Absolutely!! I've been processing health changes with her small pieces at a time, but she said hearing about the symptoms all together gave her a better understanding of what my day to day life is like. So validating to have someone put that kind of time in to know me

Omg thank you!!! Reading about Ujizome now and I'm sure you're right. Turns out Lex bought it, so she told me how to find the store she found it in

This is such a cliffhanger
February 22, 2025 at 4:50 PM
Okay but what fruit though
February 22, 2025 at 4:50 PM
Thank you so much, that is so kind 😭 not sure I'll be able to farm again this year, but I have some dried okinawan peppers and hibiscus tea if you or your mom want any. Message me your address and I would be happy to mail some!!
