For the last few months I’ve been having periods of depression that last 2–3 days at a time. I get them about 2–3 times a month I think. They’re not terrible depression, but enough for me to not want to be around anymore (don’t worry, no plans or anything, just […]
Aunt Nancy, who was like another mother to me, passed away on February 9th. On March 9th, Tamara had her surgery. On April 9th, we declared we were a family of three. So the 9th of the month has special significance to us as the passing of a beloved woman […]
Last week I went to Long Beach, California with Felix for the 2025 PSDP peer convention. This blog entry will be a summary of our adventures, and I’ll include a few pictures I and others took of me and Felix. More pictures that everyone submitted will be posted on the […]

Some of you might be wondering where I’ve been for the past month. Three weeks ago, Brad’s Aunt Nancy passed away. Nancy was like a second mother to me. I called her and Brad’s cousin Tamara, who lived with her, about every other day. We had game days twice a […]
A loved one of mine is in the psych ER after she attempted to unalive herself. Brad and I visited yesterday with no issue. I had Felix with me. Today I went by myself, in my wheelchair (there are no chairs in the psych ER), with Felix. I went up […]
