You know you’re Type A when you do your physical therapy exercises for your knee at the grocery store. *************************** While loking for a funny picture to include in this post I stumbled upon this website, squeezeitin.com. No joke, Raindrops!

Unidentified Visually-Challenged Object
Sometimes I feel so very different amongst my family and friends and when I’m out in the world having a meal or shopping. I don’t know anyone with reduced vision such as mine or anyone with a disability (to which I add “thankfully”). Everyone else around me can see and…
Sister Humidity
I am thinking of changing my name to Sister Humidity, at least for the summer months. It is hot and gross and the significant impact on my life is what has led me to the decision to adjust my moniker accordingly. Since I’m so busy melting, I won’t be changing…

Bad Feather Day
If anyone is entitled to the morning after, it’s this guy: Hope you celebrated this amazing country’s birthday as hard as he did.
Upgrade Downcast
Preparing for a new cell phone has always been a big deal for me. Traumatic even. I rely on my phone in a way that belies my age; I would pit my usage numbers up against a teenager’s any day. Since my vision loss, any new element in my life…
