How's everyone doing tonight?
I slept most of the day because of pain from #Fibromyalgia and #RheumatoidArthritis, so now I'll probably be up all night. I'm going to try and get some studying done even though my hands hurt. Really hoping the compression gloves I ordered come in soon.
Since college didn’t work out, I've been building my own self-paced curriculum:
- Bible courses from Christian Leaders Institute to deepen my understanding and support future nonprofit work
- Coding lessons with #Codecademy (codecademy.com)
- Braille proofreading training through NLS and NFB
- And if I get the scholarship, AI Software Engineering at Maestro AI University. I applied two days ago and should hear back within 14 days.
Tonight I'm deciding whether to focus on Christian Leaders coursework, coding, or Braille proofreading.
Tomorrow's my 34th birthday. My mom’s taking me out to eat, and later we're visiting a new ocularist to see about prosthetic eyes. My current ones no longer fit and cause pain, so they'll likely need to start me with conformers first. I'm dreading that part, but it’s time. I haven't been refitted for new ones since I was 16, a few months after a surgery to remove my extremely painful right eye.
