Chronic illness and disability mean that you have to let go of all or nothing or perfectionist thinking. Watch my stories for today's examples. It is always better to do 25% to the best of your ability than to do nothing because you can't do it all. It makes total sense but in the moment we do not feel it. All or nothing thinking is poison. If you can't be the best, why bother? It hold you back. It stops you from trying. And as @brenebrown says it keeps you from, "the juice of life."
5th set of xrays and 8 weeks of double dose antibiotics. Charles lungs are clear! We have to finish 2 more weeks of antibiotics to make sure it is erraticated, but he is a spritely high energy boy again. Not that you could tell from this photo, but that is how he likes to sit in the car. . Usually, the dogs ride in the back of the van, but the van is full of free sourced lumber I have yet to unload. Next project, ho! . Hint: car full of dog hair? If you have a leaf blower, blow the hair out first, then vacuum. It is a miracle. #goldenretrieversofinstagram #charlesincharge #disabledgirlonfire #pneumonia #petinsurance
Charles is still fighting pneumonia. 3rd set of xrays and doubling the antibiotics. This will not be pretty. His poor bum will suffer for this high a dose. . I submitted this fifth claim to the pet insurance today. We will hit the pneumonia limit with this claim. From this point on, for this condition only - until next policy period, it is out of pocket. . I am so grateful for the reimbursement thus far of over 2k. I paid less than $500 for his annual policy. . If this treatment works I believe it will be a follow up and one last set of xrays, $229. . Wish us luck friends!
Puzzling oh so slowly. Pondering how to budget for the rest of the year. Stimulus will get me back to debt free (when it arrives, weeks from now), but what next? Ponder, ponder, ponder. And puzzle. And breathe. . #puzzle #ponder #stimuluscheck #disabledgirlonfire #noincome #nowork #2020challenges #nocontrol
Let the great jalapeno canning begin! $2.99 for 10lbs. I will be working on these with lots of breaks for most of the day. Wish me no fingers near my eyeballs. 😵 #canning #jalapeno #pickledpeppers
Work in progress with all the saws. The saws were free on Buy Nothing. Dogs are removed before blades engaged :) This was part of the ramp of a dog therapy pool business I built in 2016. It was on target to be profitable in under a year when I developed a nerve disorder in my arms and could not swim the dogs anymore. I ended up selling the pool itself because I couldn't justify the cost to run it for just me. I have used every bit and piece of that business. No materials have went to waste. Everything has been repurposed. This will eventually be a stand for my Weber bbq grill - that I hustled 3 sales and trades to ultimately get for free. #nowaste #repurpose #reuse #buyused #creative #buynothing #community #communityworks
