I hope everyone has had a wonderful Christmas! We celebrated Christmas yesterday on Christmas Eve by having lunch with Brad’s parents, brother, aunt, and cousin. I made a gluten and dairy free Cranberry Tea Cake for dessert. I dressed up as an elf in a white fur trimmed green dress […]
I just got home from a really really difficult dentist appointment. This appointment was harder than my last appointment, where there was an ill-behaved ESA running loose trying to jump on my dog. So obviously we went to a different dentist this time. This one had been recommended by family […]
We took a break from Felix’s vacation from working for me to go to my psychiatrist’s office on Wednesday. I decided to set up my camera on my wheelchair and record it to see if we got any interesting videos of service dog or wheelchair user experiences. Felix was back […]
Yesterday we gave a talk at the Cherokee County Library for the nonprofit we volunteer for, Psychiatric Service Dog Partners. It was a little over an hour’s drive away, but luckily all on easy to drive back roads. Brad drove there and back, so I could look at the interesting […]
On Tuesday I took Felix to Publix for a training outing. We had gotten back from our trip to Ohio about a week before that, so I thought he’d be up for an outing. He did well behavior wise, but I could tell he just wasn’t into the outing. He […]

Today I had to go down to Columbia to see my rheumatologist. It’s an hour and 15 minutes each way, but there isn’t a closer one who takes my insurance. So we loaded Felix up and headed down. When we got there, Felix was so good. He just lay down […]
After the ceremony, we headed over to the reception. It was a small room, and they hadn’t anticipated wheelchair users, so they had to scramble to re-organize the tables so we could get in. But we made it work just fine! My mom was chilly, so she put on a […]
(Video of the entire ceremony at the end!) Bright and early on Tuesday morning, we headed over to the church for my parents’ wedding. For those not following along so far, my mom has memory loss and lives in memory care. She forgot she was married to my dad, so […]
(Pictures below!) For those of you who are not aware, my mom has memory loss. She lives in a memory care facility, and my dad pays for everything. My mom forgot that she was married to my dad, and was getting increasingly worried about her lack of financial security and […]
