Today my body gave up.
It seems to once a month (lines up with hormone garbage).

Intense fatigue, aches, light-headedness, muscle heaviness, fogginess, breathing that’s not the best. Very little useable brain.

I spent most of the day in bed.
Because I didn’t have much choice.

Rest and coregulation were pretty much it today.
Darkness. Water. Pain meds. Sleep. Cuddles.
No demands.
It was a yuck day.

Our kids need ways to tell us when they have days like this.
Sometimes the words are hard.

Visuals can make it easier.
Make sure you have them?

Ever since the federal bill changing SNAP and Medicaid passed, people have reached out asking: What will this mean for me? There is no short answer for this one. H.R.1 (also called the "big beautiful bill) shifts costs to the state, adds new administrative costs, and makes changes to eligibility that could mean some people don't get services, or will lose them if they don't keep up with reporting requirements. Our state Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS) released this overview of major changes and the timeline for when they take effect.

"Our community as a whole will benefit from our collective focus on people with developmental disabilities. Why are inclusive societies so strong? Because we're better together." - Rep. Stephanie Barnard (at the 2025 DD Legislative Symposium)
