technically it started last night. It was a bad pain night and I couldn't sleep. I stayed up till 2 in the morning before sleep finally overpowered me.
I slept on and off. Woke up to feed the cats, stayed up a bit, went back to bed and slept again. had joint and head pain most of the day.
Then the icing on the "crap cake" of the day-
poor david just witnessed a "Jamie Disability Meltdown" Adventure
it started with him asking me to put mayo and mustard on his bread for his hotdogs while he was microwaving the hotdogs...so I did it my way, on the plate and just spreading it with butterknife.
David: why you don't hold a bread in one hand and use the knife to spread with the other hand?
Jamie:(a bit sarcastic/snarky) because if I hold it in one hand, it doesn't hold flat, ill squeeze/bend my hand and then you will have squished bread..
David: you can't hold your hand flat?
Jamie: (again, snarky/sarcastic) No, I cant. its called Ehlers Danlos..remember..that thing I have that makes my joints loose and weak.
David: come here. I'll show you.
Jamie: (getting annoyed and flustered because I been living with this 29 years, does this dude seriously not think I've tried multiple ways to do things?) No. *voice starting to shake and fists start to clench*
David: come on Jamie, just try my way.
Jamie: (finally breaks down and flood gates open) David, I've had this shit 29 years, I've tried every way I can think of. This was the easiest way.
David: okay. okay. I wasn't teasing you. *trying to hug me*
Jamie: I know. But still, if you had something for all your life and parents who taught you to be as independent to the best of your abilities, you think I'd just give up? no. this was the easiest and most accessible way for me.
David: I didn't know. I only been with you 3 years. calm down. its okay. i still love you, you're still beautiful. calm down. you gonna give yourself a headache.
Jamie: *sniffles and trying to calm down* I already had one to begin with.

hey if he wants to be future husband of someone with a disability, he might as well see all the ugly sides too. 🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️ he wasn't there for the 2012 episodes-poor mom had those episodes and she didn't trigger them...she was just in the "crossfire" lol
and then later on another incident involving David happened: we tried to make waffles breakfast for dinner but no cooking spray, so tried to use regular cooking oil, but they stuck and didn’t cooperate so I was put back in that “i can’t do nothing right.” Mood.
I hate days like this where my disability and the side-effects of it, feel like the world is closing in around me and I cant breathe. *sigh* just another day. Things will get better. Tomorrow is another day.
