At least I looked good

Today, instead of celebrating Trumps America and its myriad of faults. I am focusing on what I what America can become in the next 250 years

- an America where anyone, regardless of religion, race, gender identity, sexual orientation, economic status, immigration status, or the place in which they were born have a fair chance at Life Liberty and the pursuit of happiness

- an America where anyone can receive medical treatment OF ANY KIND (including hormone therapy) without free of life altering debt

- an America where law enforcement are free from prejudice and people of all kinds feel safe in their presence

- An America where guns are not the number one killer of people under 18

- an America where I can get from place to place by safe and reliable public transport

- an America worthy of respect from all its citizens, and residents, and the citizens of the world

I know it seems impossible right now, but this country has been through hard and difficult times before, and we’ve survived. And I would say that overall, from the America 250 years ago, where the only people that had rights were white, Protestant, land owning men, I’d say we have made great improvements.

What do you want to see change in the next 250 years?

Went to my second Al-anon (support group for those affected by others with alcohol problems). I love color, but I love styling black and white too!

Today in Baltimore, the historic 3 masted tall ships from the 18th and 19th centuries will be in the harbor. I decided to dress up as a cute little sailor.

Beret and the big pearls are obviously repeats, but I love them so much!

I love to play pokemon go. today is an event featuring a pokemon called Frigibax (last photo). I tried to create an outfit inspired by the cute little guy

I like to dress up for comm days and here is my Kawaii interpretation of Frigibax. I just started using my new hair burettes in fun ways!

I have a lot of chronic pain so I have been working through a book called Unlearn Your Pain by Howard Schubiner, which explores how trauma and stress can cause your brain to cause neuroplastic chronic pain, when there isn’t any bodily damage. This week I spent a lot time on difficult reflections trauma during my life and childhood that kinda sending me for a loop. I’ve been so focused on that that I’ve been neglecting what brings me joy. So even though I’m not planning on leaving the house today I decided to play dress up with some new hair accessories I got and skirt I’ve been struggling to style.

I have long covid and one of my forms of therapy is dressing up. I try and get really dressed up for Occupational therapy as it works on my cognitive skills

He’s a Seizure assistance dog. He helps me when I am having a pseudo seizure caused by long covid

Ignore my mess of an art room.
