I'm with you, Matt. (And the whole "What happened? Can they do anything?" thing with a new abled person doesn't make it easier, either.) Which would make abled people think "Well, focus on disabled people, then." Which sounds logical, but you do outnumber us, and you know how they say the hometown crowd is the hardest...double that.(also, pretty much that means I always pay. Which can get harder as we go along, because "Better off," doesn't mean "rich", right?) Mom was very generous so I just signed up for a zoom fiction workshop...I have to decide which thing to show by 1/11.
I, for one, wasn't looking forward to starting my day with a slaughter. Which, really, just goes to show how much I've grown

Our wings are not tired.
Excellent breakfasts! Mine was key lime pie I forgot to bring over to my sister's on Christmas.

Oooh, I wouldn't mind that. The bakery that made the yummy key lime tart has closed, and nothing else local is as good.

Happy birthday amyparker.
I made potato soup with the new immersion blender, and it came out well enough that Mom told me I couldn't take the whole remainder back with me.

Happy birthday, amyparker
It's not awful, but not up to my usual standard either.
I make a salad. It's yummy versus healthy so people love it.
And I keep messing with it. Originally it was two salads, then melanged into the Buffista cookbook and now I mess with it to not feel dead inside.

It keeps me going. Next year though, I am taking over all food and will let the delicious salad be simple and delicious. I can be dead inside as long as my stepmom eats a hot, delicious meal.
