I was so proud of myself for being ready for book expo early, but as always, something happened. I am supposed to go to Book Expo America (writing event), but my house host had an emergency. I need to arrive Wednesday (5/27) and then will get out of your hair on june 5, by noon (at the latest). If you have a non step house and ideally a wheelchair accesible bathroom and don’t mind my assistant and me, let me know. Much appreciated… Please google Martina Robinson for details of me. I can pay a little and you don’t need to feed us.

There are days where being disabled sucks; especially the nights when the aches and pains of life prevent REM sleep and the use tricks simply don’t work. Those nights lead to these mornings. Mornings when you’re still tired and need to decide whether making the pain in your back better (by sitting in your wheelchair) is worth making the pain in your still injured knee (from a month ago) worse by getting up, standing, transferring, and doing all the things that morning entails for this body. Last night was just night and this morning is just a morning. I’m not presently a happy person!

It occurred to me yesterday when I logged in here, I haven’t been here in over a month. I was just to busy with my other work to be here much. Blogging is a big part of my life, but not (despite some people’s opinion) the only thing I have going. I’ve applied for three fellowships and was awarded half of one. I was also busy doing activism. Arrest 24 and 25, check and check (proudly). I hurt myself while doing said activism (bruised knee) and was one bed rest for one very long week.
That’s it for my update. How are y’all?
