I went to run an errand earlier at a place I hadn't been inside of for 2 years because their parking lot is a nightmare.
Y'all.
The very first time I go to use my placard, someone is illegally parked in the one disability parking space.
Errand will have to wait for another day, it seems.

After 12 years of nonstop doctors, and a lifetime of unexplainable health issues, I think I finally understand what happened to me. The new diagnoses explain everything. Absolutely everything.

Interesting thing I discovered at the appointment I had yesterday with the new neurologist.
He asked me if I'd noticed that I was becoming more clumsy as the day progresses.
I hadn't really thought of it, but yeah.
Apparently, I have ataxia. Probably cerebellar.
Legit hadn't even noticed.

I have POTS, among a host of other chronic conditions. It's made places like parking lots a scary situation for me. Considering I live in Texas, the year round heat has exasperated things.
But, a new life hack has been unlocked.
I was just given a permanent handicap placard. This is life-changing

I reached a point where I realized my Spanish was only going to improve once I was able to immerse myself in a Spanish speaking environment.
But I liked the daily routine, so I switched to French.
Y'all. The 3rd language is exponentially more easy than the 2nd

My AC is acting up. The pipe froze over. I texted my husband to let him know, & told him it was 83° in the house, so I was gathering fans for our bedroom I could go to bed.
Y'all. He came straight home & set up the portable AC because he didn't want my POTS to flare.
I am fortunate to have him.

My electric bill was just over $800.
Not in a business.
But in my house.
Our usage was comparable to this time last year.
The only significant change from one bill to the other was the amount I was charged in fees.
Fucking $800.
Poof.

Once again, I've had to remove 16 from our home. This time, to my parents' 15 minutes away, on a trial basis until they either cannot handle his behavior, or everyone involved agrees the placement should become permanent.
Y'all. This feels like such a huge fail, like I just dumped my kid off.

An older woman came into the donor center while I was working on a machine today.
She had a full beard about 6 inches long that she had intricately braided with beads.
What a fucking badass for taking something most women would be ashamed of, and absolutely rocking it.
Confidence is beautiful.

16 is being discharged tomorrow.
I think I'm more nervous about him coming home than I was having him hospitalized.
Please just let things be better. Please don't let this be something we have to do repeatedly. Just, please.....

The novelty of the facility he's been admitted to has worn off for my son, and he's unhappily settling into the FO stage of the situation.
I feel for him. I really do. But he needs help that is beyond my capacity.
I cannot begin to put into words how this feels as a parent.
I'm tired.

16 called me this morning from the psych facility he was admitted to overnight.
"Mom, I thought it'd be like 12 monkeys, but it's not prison-y at all. It's more like an overly staffed daycare. And the food is bomb."
Okay. I guess I can quit hating myself.

I'm going to go to Scotland one of these days, but instead of packing clothes and such for the trip, I'm going to pack ranch dressing.
Pretty sure after the Tartan Army's experience at the world cup, I can use it to barter my way across the country and have the best vacation ever.

I just started book 100 for the year. This is the first time I've ever kept a count of how many I've read. I thought a goal of 100 would be unrealistic, but, apparently, I read more than I realized.
