Operation Chicken Rescue… Happy Halloween!

Operation Chicken Rescue… Happy Halloween!

Today, it’s a bit chilly here in the Tennessee Valley. I had an early morning doctor’s appointment, so I decided I’d best try and find a slightly heavier jacket than normal – if I could find one that fit me. One of the pleasant side 

Barriers to Mental Health Care in Georgia

Barriers to Mental Health Care in Georgia

My anxiety and depression have really been getting on top of me. It’s been scary, and it is often debilitating. So I tried to get help from a mental health organization in my part of NW Georgia that supposedly helps people who are on Medicare/Medicaid

Swings and Roundabouts…

So the last few days have been pretty okay, in the grand scheme of things, health wise. The flare I was in seems to be a bit more controlled. I’ve taken all of my antibiotics so I am now able to take my CBD oil

More Faffing About With A Camera…

We had a pretty loud and obnoxious thunderstorm last night here at Chez Janni. It woke me up at just after 2 am and since I am rather terrified of storms (Google “Ringgold Tornado 2011” if you want to know why…) I couldn’t go back

It is a high-pain day. AND I am on antibiotics that won’t let me take pain meds. AND I am still dealing with the side effects of the antibiotics as well. AND… my panic and depression demons have been getting to me. So I did

Autumnal Colours from a Wheelchair Perspective

I went outside this morning because it was a bit overcast, which makes for some nice light for taking photos. I wanted to get a few snaps of the warm, rich, autumnal colours that I’m starting to see at my house in the Tennessee Valley.
