Thinking out loud
One of the things I love the most about this blog is that it gives me a place to come and think.
Okay, so I’ll admit that it’s a pretty public way to come and think and organise thoughts I’m having, but I like it. This is another one of those posts that I’m writing in the middle of the night, long after I was hoping to be asleep. Yet, here I am, typing away.
Truth is, I’m been lying awake in bed for the past hour thinking about this blog, about what content I’m going to post next week, and about whether or not you guys like the stuff I’ve put up recently. I’ve been struggling a lot lately with just how much I should talk about my YouTube channel on here. When I started that, I thought I’d mostly just post videos that were an extension of my blog, that focused mostly on disability and my life with Cerebral Palsy, but it’s become more than that.
In need of a stretch and starting on Baclofen
More and more often lately, I’ve been finding myself going to bed at night, not because I’m tired, but because I feel in need of a good stretch.
I’ve gone to bed mostly so that I can lay down on my front or my back and ease a lot of the tension in my muscles, which I’ve noticed has been getting worse at night lately.

Time to get the wheat bags out
I’m writing this post on Monday evening. I’ve spent most of today trying to keep warm, with varying degrees of success.
I spent most of the morning wearing my dressing gown over my clothes because it was cold. Then things got a little warmer, which I was grateful for because I had to head into town, but then by the time I got back it was so cold that I crawled under my duvet for a book with a while to take try heat up a bit.
Cerebral Palsy in my dreams
Ever since I can remember I’ve always been the kind of person who can recall most of my dreams in quite a lot of detail.
The thing is, my dream ‘relationship’ (or whatever you want to call it), with my CP has always been a strange one.
When I’m in dreamland I’m still always aware that I’m disabled, but I don’t often have my wheelchair or my walking frame with me. I will often find myself being able to run, usually from people who are chasing me.
