1. I can't figure out how to use Facebook. Seriously. Is this a sign I'm getting old? Of course, I can also wait 10 years and have my kid explain it to me.

2. Yesterday a woman on the bus was sitting next to me and saw a man with a cane. She asked him if he needed a seat, he accepted and she turned to me and said "Well, get up!". I replied "Since you asked so nicely... No." I mean, now I have a disability and I'm pregnant, and the pregnancy has just plain made me belligerent about these matters. Someone else nearby ended up giving up their seat.

3. I eat like a hobbit. No. Really. Second breakfast and Elevenses are real meals.

4. Nutopia was fantastic. I've already deleted Saturday from memory and replaced it with reruns of Sunday. I'm down to 160 mosquito bites. I definitely needed to see everyone and recharge the batteries.

5. My dog looks like a large shaved rat. She's happy with it.

6. I'm sleeping a lot too.

7. I'm going to do the Citychase this weekend with [personal profile] zenten . I promised I wouldn't play to win.

Since I'm not able to give up my seat, when I see someone who is in obvious need, I usually say "I have a disability and cannot stand on a moving bus, is anyone here able to help this person by giving up their seat?" and more often than not someone does.

Of course, when I was still using my cane, I got on one of the articulated buses, and couldn't even get near a seat, when a very pregnant woman who was also standing said "For god's sake people are you so inconsiderate that you won't offer your seat to a person with a cane?"
The front half of the bus cleared out (That's what I call efficiency). I sat down, thanked her and asked her if she was going to sit down too.
"Naw, I don't need a seat"
