Thanks for writing this Jackie! It sounds so familiar! The careful planning. The extra spending to save energy. The searching for photos online that may or may not be accurate. Going out with a disability is fun, but also work!
On my goodness so much of this sounds like my life, the research beforehand, if there are steps, how many, how big… Which mobility aid should I take … how far is it from where we’d park… can I get a seat near the loos, where are the loos… exhausting. But I’ll keep showing up! Thank you so much for sharing Jackie! 💓
I’m so glad this resonated with you and yes yes yes to keep showing up. It’s hard but I’m so glad we keep doing it, even with all the extra work it takes ❤️
I'm glad you went and had a lovely time, Jackie. Sorry there's so much to consider than just the evening itself. We have to get better at that for everyone. xo
I absolutely resonate with this 🙌
Preplanning is exhausting enough physically and mentally and that's before we've contended with the event itself.
100%! So glad this resonated with you.
