I’ve been traveling so much this year and I couldn’t do it without a lot of planning and pacing.

This Rollator by @rollzint converts to a transport chair, so I can walk as I’m able and get a push when needed.

tbh I’m doing a lot more rolling than walking lately. I stood up for this pic and then sat my ass right back down. It’s probably time for a scooter but the decision/process is overwhelming and procrastination prevails.

In the meantime I am grateful to be out in the world, touring my book, seeing friends and family, even if it means spending tired hours in hotel rooms while everyone else is out having fun (like right tf now).

Happy Thanksgiving, Canada 🍁 What are you grateful for?

I didn’t choose the still life. The still life chose me 😘

Whoever left their beer that close to her foot has a poor understanding of MS spasticity. These legs do what they want 🦵

Thank you @wpgthinair for hosting me last week. Fr

Thank you @wpgthinair for hosting me last week. From authors to readers to volunteers, I have been meeting the most incredible people this year.

Like, the impossibly cool author and @newyorkercartoons @gabrielle.drolet whose memoir LOOK MA NO HANDS is something you NEED to read 🤩

And the absolutely lovely @theliannz Add her debut novel JULIE CHAN IS DEAD to your tbr stacks. It’s SO good.

Thanks to everyone who came out to see me and to everyone who has been reading and sharing Fallosophy. It’s a joy and a thrill to connect with you all.

Barb, if you’re seeing this, I’m so bummed that we didn’t think to get a picture but I’m so glad you came! 🙏
