From social media posts and various discussions among those I know, these many changes have been challenging. Yet I think I am not overstating it to say that for #disabled people like me, these events have been a relentless cascade of complications--ranging from minor to massive--in our already #complicated lives. I am far from alone in that my disabilities or #medications or both make me very #HeatSensitive. When we hit 24°C, I am (metaphorically) melting and not particularly physically or mentally functional until temperatures cool below that threshhold. The heat alone is enough to make me feel as though I am utterly exhausted, even if I have somehow managed to get a decent sleep *despite* the heat -- the heat saps it all away, regardless. ☹️ 5/x #heat #HeatStress #HeatDistress #HeatExhaustion

In light of the above--a combination of increasing environmental stressors that negatively affect my #disability management and day-to-day functionality against a background of ongoing pandemic--it should come as no surprise that my #SocialHousing unit is presently the very opposite of tidy. Annual stretches of multi-month #physical non-functionality from #ExtremeHeat (and also often terrible #AirQuality) make it tough to keep up with all but the most basic tasks. And for many #disabled folks, our disablities, chronic #MedicalConditions, necessary #medications, and so forth may already have made "keeping up with the basics" pretty challenging in the best of times. And these are NOT the best of times. Not by a long shot. 7/x #housekeeping #chores #DailyCare #DailyRoutines #RoutineTasks
