I had a revelation about why I’m stuck on my book, and it’s related to living with #LongCovid #MECFS, which is what the book is about (in #Poetry form) and I kinda wanna write a short personal essay about it and pitch it.

But where? And I’ll need help bc #CognitiveDysfunction

+ document search

= afternoon nap + straight to bed *for the night* by 8pm

I have at least 2 calls to make today, 1 form to fill out and get notarized, and 2 packets of paperwork to get out.

It will drain me more than painting my bathroom would do, which still feels wrong.

Is a bad day to have #CognitiveDysfunction flaring. Have a zoom mtg with my kids’ school - already canceled once bc I was paralyzed so it’s happening. Spouse will be with me but I know my processing is slow today and I’m not sharp. Boo. #LongCovid #MECFS

Jenny, a white slim woman with short dark hair is sitting on the sofa at home. She’s wearing a black tshirt with white text on the chest that reads ‘caring is cool, community is powerful’

I can’t promise how much I’ll be on here. Adding more social media platforms is tricky with #CognitiveDysfunction and #ChronicFatigue but I’ll try my best! Being able to find community online is one of my favourite things. Here’s to those being loud about what matters 💛

#cognitivedysfunction is seeing your airpods are out of battery at 2:30 then holding the case in your hand until midnight without remembering why until you want to listen to music and realize, once again, there is no battery

As always, I wanted to highlight the invisible challenges of living with conditions like Long COVID.
