Ugh. And exhausting to have to educate all these people or hunt for other options. I'm not currently disabled although I spent half a year on crutches years ago and it was an eye-opener. The energy drain of having to deal with all the stupidity/lack of simple consideration seems so frustrating, especially this time of year.painting with firehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01578014572547587329noreply@blogger.com
