Hi everyone! How’s your day going?

I’m really excited—my new iPhone 16 Pro Max is arriving tomorrow! 🎉📱

I got a refund from my university’s financial aid office, probably because I had to drop a course due to being sick. After talking it over with my mom, we agreed I needed something positive to look forward to after everything I’ve been through lately.

I’m still recovering from a severe reaction to a medication I was prescribed, and my rheumatoid arthritis has me mostly bedridden. My current phone, an iPhone 13 Mini, is showing its age and not running well. I’ve been using a Pixel 9 Pro through the Google Accessibility Trusted Testers program, but I’ve always preferred iPhones—so I used part of the refund to order a new one from Apple today. It’s scheduled to arrive tomorrow, and I can’t wait!

We’re also planning to launch a GoFundMe soon to help me upgrade my Braille display. The one I have is a few years old, and my dream device is the Handy Tech Activator. My mom really wants to help me get it, and I’m so grateful.

Tonight, I’m planning to reset my old Apple Watch to give to my mom. It’s not working well for me anymore—especially with the pain in my wrists and hands—and it’s too focused on fitness. I tried using it for health tracking, but it wasn’t a good fit for how I manage things now.

Thanks for reading, and I hope you’re all doing okay. 💜

Ah yes, the classic tale of an #overachiever who decided to make checking out at 46 a hobby. 🎉 With a blood pressure score that could win a high jump contest and a pulse rivaling a marathon finish line, they casually plan their existential exit. Clearly, every life crisis deserves a scheduled send-off – mark your calendars! 📅💀

Time for a Change: Health Journey Begins!

Starting tomorrow, I'm committing to a healthier lifestyle. Lately, I've been out of breath from just walking, and some recent events have been a wake-up call.

In Q2 of 2024, I lost a dear friend, only 28, to a heart attack. And already this year, I've lost family friends in their 50s and 60s. It hit me hard, and I realized I can’t take my health for granted anymore.

I’m not a gym person (I’ve tried, it’s just not for me).

My plan is to:
✅ Cut down (or completely cut out) energy drinks and fags.
✅ Start eating better.
✅ Walk instead of taking the bus, as long as it’s under an hour.

What I need most, though, is motivation. I’d love to find someone to do this journey with me other than my parents or my fiancée (she’s super supportive but loves food a bit too much, haha).

If anyone has words of encouragement or tips, send them my way! Let’s build a healthier community together. ❤️
