:) It’s going pretty well. My husband and I have two days off together in a row, so we’re going to deep clean the apartment.

How are you doing?

Doing better than I've been in a while.

After my doctors determined I was Autistic two years ago, my family decided I was actually schizophrenic and needed to be sent to a mental asylum in the middle of no where.

When I did not go along with this, they deactivated my phone plan, thus locking me out of my email, bank accounts, everything I had set up with 2FA.

Things went downhill from there, my car got stolen, I got robbed, lost my wallet and my bank cards and ids... ended up homeless for about a year, getting the shit kicked out of me by fentanyl addicts.

But uh hey, managed to get some of my id/cards back, and lucked out and found a motel that lets me stay month to month.

I've been doing my own physical therapy for half a year now and can finally walk without a bunch of braces, though only for short durations.

I had a bunch of broken bones and torn muscles and tendons... Slowly getting back to normal.

Good thing I managed to qualify for SSDI, otherwise I'd be dead!
