I would have written something of more substance…

…but in spite of having fairly frequent if not constant migraines for God only knows how long, and “being able to work”, I haven’t been able to do much. I’m still wondering what people expect me to be able to do.

I have managed to finish getting Bub birthday presents, though! This meant that I finished pre-ordering video games for him for the month (which are played after I’ve taken a dose of Fioricet or drunk kratom tea, which I will address in later posts because the latter actually works a lot more than the former), to include some farming and fetch quest games that I know he’ll enjoy. I like to keep games pre-ordered out in advance for Bub so that as he gets games every month, or every few months, there are more games for him to enjoy.

It’s been a bit more than a week now, and, well…

It feels weird when people that I knew, people who came up on my social media accounts and pages, are gone. My mind’s still having a difficult time wrapping around the fact that a friend of mine that I knew for so long passed away. I suppose it’s the finality of it that my brain is having trouble with, as I try to avoid thinking about death or talking about it whenever possible. It doesn’t feel right referring to someone that I’d known since my youngest son was an infant in the past tense, but I’ve been telling my brain to just do it.

It feels the weirdest knowing that her LiveJournal, where she blogged until 2017, is now in the past tense.

I need to come up with better subject lines.

I would have written something of substance in here, but I continue to fight for disability benefits.

I am also more seriously considering the move out of Texas when that time comes, and taking steps to plan for it. The money donated to the kids’ ABLE accounts will be saved up for moving truck and transportation purposes when that time does come, as I would like to explore content creation in a state that is friendlier to disabled people and has better supports and services. The primary goal is getting out of Texas, though. I swear, this state is following right behind Florida making itself absolutely inhabitable to marginalized people.

As of right now, I am approximately a third of the way there and am more actively going to commit to this.
