Almost… I have decided to seek out scent free products wherever possible. Why? Having an abundance of resources avaliable on the Internet is a wonderful thing but can also make it hard to sift through and find relevant or, more to the point, truthful information so my argument is not one with endless scientific backing. … More Scent-Free Sakara
A quick rundown of some things I’ve discovered over the past few months of manic (well… As manic as it gets when you’re half asleep all the time) stuff-sorting. I say “Your Room” as that’s the example I’ve been getting a LOT of experience with but some of these tips would work anywhere, others are … More 5 Tips for Sorting Your Room as a Spoonie
This isn’t a normal campaign. I’m not asking you to donate money, time or to give up anything that is precious to you. I am only hoping that in time you might choose to.

Not something that whispers heartless lists, something that makes everybody want to know more, want to know why. I want to find a way to make people understand the invisible … More Breakthrough
Slogging my way through the start of the day just got tougher. Maybe the word ‘just’ is a little inappropriate there, ‘just’ seems to imply an immediate effect, at least something that has only become a problem moments ago.

I don’t know why I’m here again. Not here, on my bed, in my room, at home… But here, this ‘place’ that I hate. The place where wild confusion and unpredictable tears rule.
