I built this

So it’s been a while since I posted here and I don’t really have a reason for why that is apart from life did its thing.

Honestly, I can’t remember when the last time I posted was, was it after dad died? I don’t know.

I now live alone, did you know that? Isn’t that cool? That’s something I never thought I’d be able to do, just like building this cat tree independently. If I do say so myself I’m doing pretty well, the cat tree looks nice and I haven’t burned the flat down yet.

It hasn’t all been easy. Recently I had to go without my Chair, and more importantly, Imogen while I didn’t have my chair, that wasn’t fun. But I think I handled that well too. And things are supposed to be hard some of the time right?

I don’t know when I’ll next write on this blog. It might be soon, it could be tomorrow, next week or next month. I don’t want to make promises I won’t end up keeping, so let’s just say we’ll see what happens. But I just wanted to say I’m still here, life is still ticking on. And I hope if you find yourself wandering the blogs of the world, and stumble across me, you’re well.

It’s been a crazy few days.

So I’m back dating some posts.

Life happens sometimes and there just isn’t time for you to do everything in the day that you want to. So I’m backdating some posts, writing this on Friday the 23rd August, that’s the beauty of the internet.

400 Days

On 10th Jun 202410th Jun 2024 By Katy DalyIn BlogLeave a comment

So today marks a 400 day streak on this blog, but if you pay close attention to this blog, you’d know that it’s not strictly true. This is because they’re occasionally days where I backdate posts on this blog, to keep the streak, though I’m always honest about doing it.

What I’m saying is I know I’m never going to win any sort of record for posting on this blog, but that’s okay because that isn’t at all why I do it.

I write on this blog (almost) daily as it brings me comfort. It’s my place of control, where I can do, write and say what I want. Where I don’t need anyone else’s help to do write and say what I want. And having this streak, even though I have edited things to make it happen, makes me happy. And here is probably the only place where that is truly all that matters.

So if you’re still here reading my words, thank you for sticking with me this long.

In the spirit of being honest and this feeling like an important place to be that. I feel I have to say that when I posted this it came up as day 401, not sure what I’ve missed as I really thought yesterday was 399. Maybe I’m a time traveler. Who knows. But anyway the sentiment is the same.

Daily posting.

If you pay enough attention to this blog, you may notice that I posted multiple times yesterday and then deleted the posts.

This is because my streak on this blog feels like it’s very important to me. And for a reason I’m not sure about, my posts missed a day 3 days ago, so I lost the steak.

This post is a test post to see if I’ve fixed the problem.

I know it might seem silly that I post daily on this blog, or that the steak matters to me. But on days when I’m struggling with my self-worth the fact I’ve posted on this blog, the fact this blog is still going, means a lot to me.

I have tried to post many blogs before, and usually given up. But every post in this blog is a reminder that I haven’t given up yet.

If you follow closer.

If you follow this blog closely you may notice I occasionally backdate some posts, in fact this post is backdated so you have in fact not timetravelled or missed anything.

I do this if I miss a day as I like to keep my streak. I know that’s not what you’re supposed to do, but it makes me happy and it doesn’t hurt anyone, so I don’t really care that you’re not supposed to do it.

I’m writing this post as I sit on a bus, I just remembered that I didn’t write yesterday’s post and it’s annoyed me. It’s annoyed me not because it’s something I feel I have to do, I really do enjoy these posts. It’s annoyed me because I know I had a post that I wanted to write, and the day just got away from me.

Hopefully I will get round to writing that post, but as always I make no promises.

Thanks for understanding and following along. And happy yesterday 😊.

I apologies about all the changes.

So as I said in a previous post I have been looking at changing the settings on this blog, and it seems I have only been able to do it by changing the blog theme. That said I think that I have found a way to set the blog up in a way that I am actually happy with.

You should, if I have done it right, find the option of ‘Old Topics’ in the menu now. This should hopefully show a drop down menu with old category tags that I will no longer be using as they have been specific to an area of the blog or time of year or something like that. Despite the fact it is still Asexual Awareness Week, I have added this to the drop down menu, and I still plan to add posts to this category for the rest of the week, it was just easier to do this now. I also plan to maybe add the topic of Disability Pride to this section but I am not sure about this yet.

I have added this section to hopefully make the blog more organised. But as always please do let me know if something isn’t clear or accessible on the blog and I will do my best to change it as soon as possible.

Technically difficulties and I’m tired.

If it wasn’t clear from any changes that you might be seeing on this blog at the minute, I’m trying to sort out Menus and subcategories, namely how to put subcategories in to drop down menus. I’m struggling to do this as the instructions I have found and the directions I have been given don’t seem to match up. So if anyone knows how to do this I would be grateful.

Additionally, as I sit here trying to figure all this out, and writing the post about it, I can feel the fatigue set in, so I think I’m going for a nap.

If anyone reading this, knows how to do what I am trying to do, or is able to guide me in any way, your help would be greatly appreciated.

I’ll get back to you, and this, after a nap.

Expanding this blog

On 25th Sep 202324th Sep 2023 By Katy DalyIn My WritingLeave a comment

So, I have tried several times to expand my writing by having a separate blog for it, but it just doesn’t seem to take, not in the way that this blog has worked for me. So, I have decided to add a section to this blog, just for my general writing.

The writing in this section is not going to be specifically disability, inaccessibility or writing prompt related.

It will just be pieces on a range of topics I want to write about, or I am inspired to write about, potentially writing prompts from other places on the internet. Honestly, I haven’t really decided where I am going with this as of yet.

All I can tell you for now, is that I love to write. More than that sometimes-writing feels like the only thing I can do in life, maybe because I can write independently, I don’t know. What I do know is I really don’t want to lose my passion for writing. I really want it to become something more in my life, one way or another. And maybe this blog, that seems to be doing something for me personally, is the way to do that.

Wish me luck with this endeavour, as I say I have failed at it more than once, so I feel like I need it.

If you have any suggestions, or any areas you would like me to write on, let me know.

My Inaccessible Life
