I don’t really have daily stress like most people. I have lived most of my life not sweating the small stuff. Clothes, hair, work, any aspect of my personal life I don’t worry about because whatever happens, I’m going to be fine. Where I struggle is worrying about other people. Specifically those close to me….
I have debated whether or not to say anything since I heard Rush Limbaugh passed a few hours ago. As I write this I’m still debating. I feel like I have to say something because I love radio. If I’m real honest, Rush was probably the first radio voice I ever heard. The reason for…
I haven’t left my house in 4 weeks. I haven’t even put on a pair of jeans in 4 weeks. Having Cerebral Palsy means I’m at higher risk of getting sick, but to be honest, staying in is not about staying well for me. I don’t fear sickness. I’m trying to do everything I can…
I’m supposed to speak to a small group of city workers in a town near me tomorrow night. I’m not nervous about who will be there. I’m not nervous about the size of the crowd, I’ve spoken too much larger groups. I’m afraid that I simply won’t be funny. I saw a TV show several years…

Today’s Post is a special one. If you’ve been reading this blog for very long, you know that my friend evie built this site and does all of my comics. To be honest I couldn’t do anything that I do on the Internet without her. She is one of the most special and creative people…
This one is pretty self explanatory. I never know how I’m going to feel from day to day. What I do know is that no matter what else is going on with my mind or body, my mouth will work. My speech may be slightly slurred because of other things going on inside or around…
I’ve never actually been parasailing but with a little research, I’m sure it can be done. A little research on Google told me that disabled surfing is a thing as well. I don’t know how badly I want to do that, but it’s there. I have been skiing. Until I actually did it I wasn’t…
Relying on people is just part of being in wheelchair. I’m very independent but there are just things I can’t do. I’m constantly learning new things everyday to help myself but I fear I will always need help. As long as that’s the case I will have to be patient with other people. I’ve never…
