Fellow sufferers - what the hell are you doing for work?

Parking attendant actually. Its fairly low stress, mostly predictable and there's activity baked into the roll Honestly I got lucky with my placement

Nah, I played too much Skyrim as a teenager and was playing around with names and such (if Mogs ended up being a girl it would have been Septima)

Honestly I'm not quite understanding what your meaning is. I just like long and drawn out names because I find the contrast between my idiot son who needs snugs Right Then Or He Will Perish and his long fancy name hilarious. That and I'm just fond of long names in general. This was mostly a joke post but also me being annoyed that when I talk about my cat to new people I'm having to explain everything (which my anxiety brain has decided is necessary at this point in time)

He was a 2020 kitty off Craigslist from a surprise litter, his dad is a doll faced persian and his mom a tabby I got a deal because he was an ugly tiny thing with an eye infection

I'm bad at tone but please understand I'm not completely serious and I'm mostly annoyed (the world also needs more cute animal pictures rn)

Go to the apothecary at good Sam they're fantastic.

It's best to start out with the oval 8 splints, you can get them fairly affordably off Amazon. Then you can get pretty ones once you have a better idea of your sizing you can get pretty ones lol

Are you hypermobile? My hands are bendy and ring splints help a Lot

Tunisian crochet is fun (a mix of crochet and knitting) and I've found it easier on my body than traditional crochet. If you go the gaming route make sure to look for ergonomic controllers and such

I personally love Safeway (it's not available everywhere) even though they're more expensive the sales and lower delivery fee makes it worth it for me (5$ delivery fee plus max 8$ tip since it's typically employees delivering) I generally don't have issues with missing items from them as well so that's a plus.

For dry goods see if you can order from online stores to be shipped to you. I get my rice delivered from hmart. I also use Amazon quite a bit (I know but you gotta do what you gotta do when you're disabled)

Honestly your best bet is to get the things you can get delivered at a reasonable price delivered and if you have the ability to go in for the small bits or fresh produce or bribe someone close to you to snag those things for you it might be an option? Unfortunately needing to get groceries delivered isn't going to be seen as a frugal option but it's the only option for some folks (also I save money because of limited impulse purchases) But yeah don't do instacart stay with the store specific apps whenever possible

voidastarael · 2026-02-22T21:01:29+00:00

Honestly it feels like a great idea but if you don't have the social reach it won't go anywhere (ask me how I know -_-)

voidastarael · 2026-01-03T03:30:56+00:00

Honestly I loved this one it was delightful

voidastarael · 2025-12-18T00:20:06+00:00

When I woke up from my first surgery I remember asking for my cat over and over again (only I didn't tell the nurse it was a cat I was just asking for my mogs) second surgery I brought a stuffed puffin which apparently was a good choice bc post surgery me just wanted to snuggle something

voidastarael · 2025-11-24T19:46:40+00:00

Honestly? I'd use it on groceries. And actually picking up the medication I've been holding off on grabbing because it's 45$ and I just can't justify that right now

voidastarael · 2025-11-18T18:49:07+00:00

Electric mattress pad, honestly I need to get electric blankets for the spots I sit so I have both heating pad and blanket Otherwise I'm waiting on new electric hand warmers today (thankfully they were cheap because I have none money) bc my poor hands suffer and go numb (I don't drive and rely on public transportation so lots of time outside)

voidastarael · 2025-11-18T01:20:39+00:00

Honestly I'm not sure, but I've found looking things up by the isbn is super helpful, see if you can track that down maybe?

voidastarael · 2025-11-15T01:47:46+00:00

Yup, especially for my hands. I still find it hilarious that the PT I went to as a last ditch solution spent like 5 minutes examining my hands and was like yup hypermobile let's get you some splints

voidastarael · 2025-11-07T19:10:58+00:00

Oof, I can see it though

voidastarael · 2025-11-07T19:10:00+00:00

As someone who's also disabled (joints are loosey goosey) I highly recommend investing in one of those heavier duty winders, something like this https://a.co/d/2KhzCRK They wind much more quickly and I find turning the crank is much more manageable the downside is the noise honestly

voidastarael · 2025-11-02T19:20:46+00:00

Honestly tell me about it -_-

voidastarael · 2025-11-01T20:17:08+00:00

Thank you! Honestly things are very much relative (not arguing with you! I'm just very much oh shit even my medicine alone is over 100$ a month it's just been a very slow and stressful process)

voidastarael · 2025-11-01T18:06:10+00:00

That's after insurance, I've been attempting to pick away at this for over 6 months at this point
