Officially winter. Ankle pain/weakness has officially begun! Yay!! 😧

So I missed my alarm & an appointment but I guess I needed that sleep 😫 #chroniclife 

Making placek with Pa ♡ #christmas2016

When you rush out of the house, forget O2 & have to walk a block + 3 flights of stairs going each way. #gladimnotdriving #chroniclife

------------------------------

I probably should of checked when I collapsed on the stairs ... I'm guessing low 60s? +Side: city is pretty in snow #chroniclife

Why am I the lucky one?

------------------------------

I shouldn't be. I shouldn't be.

🎵 It's that time of year for winter cheer. For reindeer & snow bells chiming. 🎵

Starting the morning with some #Christmas doodles.

Added an oxygen & heartrate tracker to my daily pages. #bujo #bulletjournal #ChronicLife

Update: doctor approved my O2 & says I shouldn't have anymore issues with coverage. Also got my prescription for my mask. #ChronicLife

Made an appointment with my lung dr to be re-certified for my med O2 & to get a RX for my vent mask bc its an old model. #ChronicLife

An apple a day does NOT keep the doctor away. Asking my dr about food allergies. Plus side is cooking kills the allergens. #chroniclife

Tonight I fell in luv with pies in skillets. The crust was crispy and the filling full of flavor ♡ @mmdesign716

No matter how many clothes I get rid of my closet never seems empty. I swear it multiplies as I sleep 😫 #downsizing #fail

That moment when your comfy in bed & realize the vent tubing popped off.

As for #NaNoWriMo2016: I lost my steam. I didn't get anything written this past week. But I'm not giving up ... I will finish it <3

I hope you had a crazy #Thanksgiving! Be safe this #BlackFriday ... Me? I'm staying home with music <3

This is what happens when you forget to cap your micro-fine pen before zipping it up the night before 😯 #bulletjournal

Added this nifty medicine tracker to my daily spread. #bulletjournal
One "x" = each pill ... # of boxes = max # for each day. #ChronicLife

One of those mornings where your sinuses kick you off your vent & you wake 2 hrs later feeling like your heads falling off #ChronicLife

Made an appointment with my lung dr to be re-certified for my med O2 & to get a RX for my vent mask bc its an old model. #ChronicLife

------------------------------

Also not sure how my vent disposes bad air bc my mask doesn't have slits.

Tech: She breaths out from her mouth

Me: No I don't #ChronicLife

So we cleaned out the spare room ... 15yrs worth of stuff I've collected. We have enough hand lotion & body spray to last 5yrs. Need some?

Been out since 8:30am ... I think I'm due hermit time now ♡

Happy Sat!! Hope it's relaxing &/or productive. Whatever's your cup of tea 😊

 Can't wait for Thurs when I can hide in the house again ♡

------------------------------

Getting lost 2x in the city during rush hour did not help me recover from last night's drive on the thru way.

------------------------------

Did I ever mention how much I enjoy when other people drive? It allows me to hide during left turns across 3 lanes ... but not yesterday

------------------------------

Tonight BF is driving ♡♡

12:05am and I'm wide awake ... I stopped drinking coffee 12hrs ago, give me sleep :(

------------------------------

If I was writing it would be one thing but I'm not -_-

------------------------------

1 hour later ....

 Checked the mail & found a "are you still disabled" packet from @SocialSecurity. Just went through this not 2yrs ago #chroniclife

------------------------------

What part of "permanently disabled since birth" do they think will change? Jokes on them, I've gotten worse. #chroniclife

------------------------------

The more independent & "normal" I try to be the more I'm reminded I'm not with lovely additions to my file. 😡 #chroniclife

"Morgel wondered what her mother might want to talk to her about ... She hadn’t stolen leftover desserts in almost a year" #NaNoWriMo2016

I'm around 11k words short & don't care. Each bar is higher than the last & this is the most developed my story's ever been. #NaNoWriMo2016

I think I learned why coffee helps me focus & why albuteral helps with my anxiety in stressful situations: http://healthline.com/health/adhd/ca...

My best friend this morning ... #LastPost for the day. Have a good morning everyone!! #HappySaturday

Just saying "morning" to old friends. #petlovers

Ibuprofen for headache ✔ ... Dogs fed & out ✔ ... Ordering a good new night's sleep online 🚫

Sinuses shut down on me all yesterday so no vent. Horrible sleep, head full of CO2 & luckily just dehydrated. #ChronicLife #CO2Retention

This is the best ♡ #DeafWizards #DisabilityAwareness #HarryPotter

History must never forget the 3rd reich, lest we repeat. The furnace where they disposed of the disabled.  http://historicaltimes.tumblr.com/post/152870200...

So not the BEST progress but its still progress 😅 #NaNoWriMo2016

Don't write on tabs ... don't write on tabs ... don't write on tabs ...

That moment you go to move a tab & remove part of your entry. #wtfmoment ... Guess that tab's staying put. #bulletjournal

Really enjoying the time-ladder to track my time. Each task has a number & that's used on the ladder. #bujo #bulletjournal #timemanagement

All set for November in my #bulletjournal ♡ #dailyspread #bujo

As bad at games now as I was then. #arcadegames #childhoodmemories

 So didn't get the "main" stuff done today but did get lost of smaller things. Pretty productive considering I woke 6 hrs ago 😎

My stitching is getting better with each section. It makes me want to redo the other side ... #halloweencostume #sewing

Just stitching feathers to tule. Doesn't everyone do this? #halloweencostume #sewing

I caved & bought another moleskin to set up my November #bujo in ... it's not too soon, right? #bulletjournal

Since my #NaNoPrep #bulletjournal it's getting harder to open up my regular #bujo with the lined paper. It's almost full but I want grid 😭

#Pumpkincarving! 🎃 ... Hi I'm Courtney & I sniff pumpkin corpses before I eat their guts 😍 #PumpkinScentedHeaven  #Halloween

Lots of fun yesterday but my nose & chills are telling me I pushed a little far. Back to my #NaNoPrep notebook. #chroniclife

Awesome @TheSheepdogs concert tonight! ♡ Now for sleep; my legs & lungs are exhausted 😪

Since my #NaNoPrep #bulletjournal it's getting harder to open up my regular #bujo with the lined paper. It's almost full but I want grid 😭

This was today ... or rather has been this week ... not sorry 🤓 😎 #NaNoPrep

When you forget what Bagel Bites actually are & your looking in the fridge for bite-sized bagels. #brainfog #thinkingliterally

{/facepalm} I'm putting so much attention in remembering how to write in cursive that I keep misspelling words. #bulletjournal #handwriting 

Fingers crossed, this insurance stuff should be worked out now  >.> #chroniclife

My face just now when I realized I surpassed 100 followers!! Thank you for joining me on this journey <3

Also quite proud of my indexing method. #bulletjournal

After @BohoBerry's #NaNoWriMo video, I just bought a @moleskine to replicate. Wishing there were more accessible #USAMade grids out there!

Might need to buy a typewriter for next year's #NaNoWriMo 🙃 .... I miss playing on my Dad's old word processor. #90sKid #childhood 

There's 3 different cultures in my story & I think of HP & LOTR & how in depth the worlds can get & I get overwhelmed. #NaNoPrep #JustWrite

Friend just sent this to me. "Oxygen bar" ... does sound way cooler than "concentrator." I'm calling it that from now on. #marketingstrategy

 I don't have characters. I have "charcters" ... look at me practicing written accents lol #NaNoPrep #NaNoWriMo2016

Checking out @darkstarorch & loving it! Definitely seeing them again ♡ Thanks @AllWNYRadio for the tickets!! #GratefulDead

That moment you realize there's one last wonton left in the soup and you savor it's goodness ♡ #ItsTheLittleThings 

Mission to figure out this stomach stuff lead to getting x-rays earlier today. Tech told me to stop over achieving at life XD #chroniclife

Ate 1/4 of a salad yesterday that felt like turkey dinner ... this isn't fun. And I forgot to call my Dr's for that RX. #neednewstomach

Felt better today. 90% better when I went to my Dr's app. & then down to 70% as the day went on . But only lvl 1 stomach pain. #stillbetter

PS: Improperly swallowed generic-form-GasX tastes like peppermint. At least it's not gross while I burp it up ...

All this and no thermometer. BF jokes I have a pharmacy in this desk but apparently I don't have a thermometer.  #chroniclife

Anyone else ever get radiating pain from eating butter-toasted rolls? Really stomach? It was just bread & butter 😖 #chroniclife

Headache gone, eyeballs still hurt, radiating stomach pain has decreased but still there. Gah 😧 ... #chroniclife

Errin spooniesnaps: @spooniesnaps on Oct 3, 2016

I hope your day got better

Courtney: @co2infused on Oct 5, 2016

Thank you so much ♡ That day didn't but yesterday was, and today was better than that.

31 days till Halloween!! What's everyone being this year? 🎃🎃🎃

The sleeping giant ♡ ... Last night was 90% better. #furrybrother

------------------------------

We also explored the dog park and met some friends, including a Great Dane who was 2in taller & it freaked him out XD

Joints feel so stiff. The #furrybrother is over, so sleep wasn't allowed. Coffee infusion please? Prayers the rest of the week is better 😪

Meet my 19th great-grandfather: Henry De Gotham (haha, Batman) Now about that 12th century king ... #genealogy #nosleep4me

------------------------------

Found my 30th great-grandfather. To Lincolnshire, EN from Normandy, FR. His son became an English Lord! #PartyLike1030AD #genealogy

So my vent tech was in shock bc I gave back my portable concentrator. He said I'm the 1st; they have a waiting list for them. #chroniclife

------------------------------ 

I'm also his lightest weight client & w/ a bad back. He agreed & laughed as he left with it. Sticking with the tanks. #chroniclife

Really enjoying having this notebook for #NaNoPrep ♡🖋♡ 📖  #NaNoWriMo #bulletjournal

A beautiful tale about playground curiosity and new friendship ♡

I'll always be thankful of how my own parents encouraged me to speak for myself about my conditions & not be offended by genuine questions.

I've made a point of emphasizing the normality of what I live with & for the most part had positive -occasionally perplexed- responses to it
