When I say nothing is easy or simple, I do mean NOTHING!
The amount of planning and forethought that goes into everyday would make a logistics coordinator’s head spin. Like, spin completely off and roll right out the door never to return again. Like, really.
You must plan 972 steps ahead and be prepared with at least three alternate plans for each step. And think about how each alternate plan will affect the remaining steps if you must stray from the original steps.
And if an unexpected trip to the bathroom arises then there’s a possibility that ALL the steps and plans go out the window. Then, you must start back over at step one.
You must also be prepared if any of your assistive devices or assistive technologies glitch. When they are all working it’s GREAT! But when anything goes wrong, it completely and totally has the ability to derail EVERYTHING.
Today was one of those days where NOTHING was easy or simple. The assistive technology majorly glitched and has derailed ALL the plans for a yet to be determined amount of time. UGH!!
BUT, while I am extremely frustrated and upset, I realize I am dealing with first world problems. But more importantly, I know God has a purpose and a plan for all of it. Even though I can’t exactly see it in this moment.
Living with a disability isn’t for the faint of heart. Just saying.
