National Stuttering Acceptance Week

 

It’s National Stuttering Acceptance Week. My video is being circulated in SPACE initiatives during the week, along with similar videos of several other people who stutter using the same script. I love hearing the variety of my fellow stutterers speech.

Monday was clear, bright and hot. Too hot for me. Working in the yard was quite tiring because of all the bending over and the heat. I got several plants into the garden, and I did a lot of cleaning up of the beds under the trees in the backyard, but I quit early, too pooped to pant.

The morning was taken up with a long walk with our friends, and my Zoom meeting with other STAMMA support group meetings. Then we had lunch and then I did three hours of work before calling it quits and taking Her Highness for our afternoon walk.

The weather is predicted to change today. We may, if we’re lucky, get a brief shower later in the day. Wednesday and Thursday are likely to be cloudy and Friday and Saturday are supposed to be wet. We are all praying for rain on the island, so I hope it pours for those two days.

Today, I must stay home in case my Tezspire arrives, so I will focus on weed whacking and raking up the bales of sliced weeds. I also hope to get some more plants into the ground, but the bending over is very hard on my ancient back. It’s a beautiful bright sunny day again, so I will water all the beds today as well. And if I get all the work done that I hope to do, I will earn my time on the chaise this evening. Tomorrow, when it’s cloudy, I must address my SPACE homework.
