Remember to head on over here to donate to my Clicking My Heels For Dysautonomia, raising money for the Greg Page Fund for Orthostatic Intolerance and Dysautonomia research, at The Baker IDI. Thanks to the generosity of many we've already raised over $2,000, keep donating and hopefully we can reach $10,000.
In the world of grey matter gone rogue, I call that Mission Accomplished. Isn't it so infuriating to be constantly robbed of the ability to perform seemingly simple tasks in a timely, orderly fashion without having the feeling that we have just exhausted the last remaining bit of firing neurons within our sludge of a brain. Argh! I totally relate and feel your frustration.
ReplyDeleteI'm blaming this samsung tablet and it's shifty auto correct for my computer woes. And I'm sticking to it.
ReplyDeleteTa for you great blog. I laugh and cry with gratitude when I read it.
Blue -or blur as the tablet wants me to say.
Omg, I totally did that JUST LAST WEEK! It wasn't anything as important as a cardio's office, though. Just an email to a friend. Thankfully. And I sent it to myself, without the attachment a couple of times. *sigh* When I get it typed up, I'll send you the link for the story of how I turned an 8 hour road trip into a 16 hour one this Tuesday due to my faulty brain functioning.
