Day 14 — Bruises 🤕: Weird visual and weirder thing to be grateful for…but I’ll try 😒 In contrast to the first part of the week traveling & visiting…

the 💩 started as I got to the airport to come home… — Flight delayed — Missed connection — Had to book hotel in DC for 4hr sleep — Argued with flight attendant trying to check my walker — Argued with pool lifeguards blocking off lanes unnecessarily — Argued with marathon that said no — Helped Mom fight bureaucracy — Power went out overnight — Bruised my knee trying to clean up cat vomit in the dark — Argued with pharmacy about a prescription that went missing — Filed a grievance with insurance — Bracing for withdrawals when I run out of meds this weekend . Wait, what am I grateful for again?? 🤣 Learning to speak up for myself, fight my own battles, and yes, talk on the phone. It ain’t pretty, damn sure ain’t easy, but I *can* do it…even if I don’t always win. Which is a win — it’s called growth. 💚💪
