This shouldn’t really surprise me, but it does.

Now that we’ve gotten Mother’s Day out of the way (as well as the almost obligate “pet moms”), I can write!

I’ve been trying to get in touch with someone that I did SEO work with awhile ago. I stopped doing that on good terms with the company… or so I had thought. A few months ago I decided to try and shoot my shot to see if I could resume doing SEO work for them and they have responded to precisely zero of my messages when I inquire about easy-to-implement disability accommodations. In hindsight, this really should not surprise me, especially with the United States’ current president and his political party. In chronicling this on my social media I have had to describe what the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is and what reasonable accommodations are. Some of the accommodations I request are in regards to being the caregiver of autistic and intellectually disabled children, so I do need to be given some additional time to perform tasks that have nothing to do with them and everything to do with me. And still… absolute crickets.

It would genuinely be really awesome if I could resume work with this company, but I digress.

Taking James with me to the restroom, y’all.

I was picking up some of James’ medications yesterday afternoon and had to use the restroom, so I brought him into the restroom with me which is what I do whenever I have to use the restroom in public as it keeps James safe from attempting to elope. He doesn’t mind me doing this since it’s all he’s known, but we don’t exactly live in the best state for this even though his disabilities are obvious… I can not wait for us to move.

I’m going to be busier this week than anticipated.

The kids having appointments have all more or less lined up this week, although I’m going to be almost as busy as I am this week in the coming two weeks, which I… don’t really mind because I’m used to it and this is what gets the job done as Gen Z kids like to say. Bub (James) has an appointment with the child psychiatrist coming up, and Li’l Monster (Jason) will be having his nineteenth well check done by the pediatrician that has seen him since birth in the coming weeks, so I mean… it is what it is. I enjoy being their carer immensely so…
