Not sure if everyone is aware but they do have COVID + Flu A/B home tests available now.
I prefer the iHealth brand. As far as home tests are concerned, they have been reliable for us.
Just thought I should share in case others wanted to know!

Today…nothing & it’s almost 10:15 pm and I’m wide awake…
For me, the second day after surgery is always the worst…always

Y’all will one day have to answer for this disgusting behavior & I hope you get worse than you are giving
“It’s yet another way this regime practices eugenics. By refusing disabled people the accommodations they need, they’re targeting them for elimination.
People die in ICE custody every year, but we often don’t hear about them. Their stories go untold, their pleas unheard and the eugenics unopposed”

My dad made one of these high chairs for me when i was a Smol Bean, then made them whenever anyone had a kid, and then made them to give away. Now it’s my turn to make one for my kid, and if anyone in PDX has a little one and needs a high chair, let me know - times are hard and i’ll make you one too

Took orders this AM. Will offer drinks, snacks, showers and laundry service, for our close friends who need these items more than we could ever imagine.
Any assistance is welcome‼️

I’m fortunate that most of the things I need to get done have no true timeline so I can work on them as much or as little as I need. That said, it just gets frustrating when I feel up to getting stuff done…my fingers wanna be difficult…I just wish everything could be on the same page on the same day

Y’all, I had to stop doing something the other day bc I literally couldn’t write or type anymore…my fingers kept freezing up from pain…
You know, I really hate how long it takes many meds to start working. My hands, fingers & wrists are slowly getting worse meanwhile, it takes 8-12 weeks for methotrexate to begin working & you can’t just throw a heavy dose right away due to side effects
I’m tired 😭
Keep letting us know what you need! Sorry you are dealing with this, you don’t deserve it!
