Headache Ad Nauseam

Having one of those days where the pain just gets to you...

Sometimes it's just really hard.

#IYKYK #Spoonie #ChronicPain

I’m a part time librarian and I just want to echo what I’ve seen other librarians say recently: there is a HUGE uptick in requests for social justice, climate justice, abolition, history, etc books and I just want to say nobody is giving up the fight. If anything people are fighting harder #library

To paraphrase a quote out there:

Everyone will become disabled to a degree if they live long enough...

Please, listen to folks with disability and/or chronic illness.

The canary is screaming. 🐤

✅Took myself out to have a drink & meal at my locally-owned restaurant. 🇨🇦

✅Got groceries at my locally/family-owned grocery store. Bought Canadian goods where possible. 🇨🇦

Grateful to have received my latest booster for the COVID-19 and for the flu.

Props to the public health officials 🇨🇦working to make these vaccines freely available & encouraging education.

Vaccines help to protect folks with #ChronicIllness.

Life with #ChronicIllness:

Two orange pill bottles. One is empty with the cap off. One has pills in it with the cap on.

🤫 My secret skill:

🕵️‍♀️ Being able to identify my medications by their sound in the pill bottle.

👍 Yes, I'm available for parties.

Today feels like:

🙃 Chronic illness is a fun adventure.

👍 One of the great things about migraine:

When it gets really bad you get to focus on your own pain and not global events for a short time.

That is great! It DOES need to be celebrated. 🎉
