I’m currently sat under my electric blanket worrying that because it’s my birthday I should be doing more with the day.

I’ve been out to see family and walk the dogs. I’m honestly now considering a nap.

I’m really tired.

It turns out your disability doesn’t go anywhere, even on your birthday. Who’d have thought?! Joking, because obviously I knew.

I’m watching Love Actually and getting a curry later. So that’ll be fun.

But I’m trying not to dwell on the things I might be doing on my birthday if I wasn’t disabled.

Some days it’s just hard you know?

Even though today is my birthday, it seems to be a hard day. So I’m going for a nap.

I also made this TikTok which for emotional preservation reasons is entirely a joke.

The text on the screen that’s not read out on the above video reads: “POV: It’s your 27th birthday as a disabled person you do the bare minimum with your day and then you get back under your electric blanket and film a minimal effort TikTok.”
