Deflated

What do you think we should do?  Maybe we could take her to a car dealership.  Want me to get a can of beans?

Despite increasing water and salt, I haven’t reached an amount that allows me to function properly. It’s funny when a Tubeman can’t stand – not so much when it’s a human that can’t even sit upright in a chair.

I wonder about doctors who casually say things like “Just take some salt tablets!”. Not every kind of job is drink-guzzling friendly. (I do anything from scooping pet poo to taking out trash to cleaning bathroom floors. I don’t want to be handling water bottles all the time.) Plus most employers don’t want you taking bathroom breaks every 15 minutes. And all the “normies” out there (with whom I am very frustrated with at the moment) don’t realize what it is like for people with MCAS (basically being allergic to everything) to have to use any sort of public facilities. I need to bring my own soap (super easy!) wherever I go plus carry my own moisturizer (no problem since girl jeans have roomy pockets!) because my skin cracks and tears after it gets wet.

While it’s not an impossible to lead life, it is much more complicated than most people realize.

You don’t expect me to care about any of this

when it’s suppertime, do you?

Doesn’t It Just Figure…

So Ma, why no recent pictures of me and my antics?  No new stories about what is going on in the neighborhood?

For a while I’ve been aware that I would have to replace the battery in my camera.  I could only take about 10 pictures before it needed a charge.  I put off buying a new one because shipping was more than the battery itself.  I finally lucked out last week and found one with free shipping.  Yippee!

Today I plugged the camera into the computer only to find that they will no longer connect.  Crap!  Crap!  Crappity-Crap-Crap-Crap!  I have pictures in memory, but I can’t download them.  I would take the card out to use in one of the computer ports, but this is one of those micro chips that are so tiny a slight puff of air will blow it where you’ll never find it.  I took the thing out once, and it was so hard to get back in I swore I would never do that again.

This reminds me of how Bitey Dog got started.  I didn’t have a camera to document my puppy’s antics, so I drew them.  Looks like literally I am back to the old drawing board…..
