I was aiming for rosemary.
So it is probably just as well, really, that I had already decided not to do the march today (thank you all for reminding me that if it wipes me out for a week it's probably not worth it). Thank you for going; I am with you in spirit (even if what I am in practice is mostly a sofa gremlin gnawing on pancakes).
(I'm going through another patch, at the moment, of But I'm Not Really Disabled, Look How Functional I Am -- and then something like yesterday happens, where I lose my entire shit and stop being able to communicate with my face pretty much At All, and I remember that this used to happen multiple times a week and the only reason I'm impersonating a functional person to the extent I am, these days, is precisely the fact that disability benefits means I don't have to Do Things. So thank you all, also, for facilitating my carefully-curated life.)

Date: 2019-03-24 01:31 am (UTC)Oh god, I keep having a bout of that trying to flare up about using my disabled tag to park in disabled spaces as much as I have been lately (especially because my pain levels have been so much better lately!)...
...and then I keep remembering your story about the thing with the "huh! guess I'm not really disabled!" while sat in your friend's wheelchair, so. at least that's been somewhat easier to derail than it used to be.
(so, you know, also thank you. <3)
