Colorful and hopefully optimistic but maybe hateful occasionally

After the TBI I lost all sense of direction. It's coming back sooooo sloooowlyyyyyy

yep - my friend with a tbi has the same challenge... at the beginning she got lost in her own house! So I think dory the car is a great name!

 

[littleoc]

Dory it is!!

Maybe I can get a lil Dory plush to stuff in the back window lol

I wonder if I could just find one by looking around my mom's house! :P

So relatable, by the way :roflmao:

I got lost on a campus I had been living on for years, and it's a small main campus! I forgot how to get home like twenty times

The person who got me to break into the theater I managed while I was all amnesiac told me that I kept insisted on walking to a door that doesn't open from the outside :D

I remember her being afraid to get help from the state or the school for my dad's insane behavior because she was worried they would think she was a bad mother for enabling him. That sounds really similar to what you were talking about. Fear of judgement, maybe?

This is exactly something I would do. :( I don't know - fear of judgement, or really - fear of 'getting in trouble'

It's decorated with frogs and a faux plant right now

I decorated my first car too! I strung potpourri flowers like a popcorn string, and hung it from the rear view mirror. Smelled so pretty!!
Dori's a great car name! :)

My mom did spend years being in trouble. Just with random men. And then the government.

It's just so frustrating. I wish she would work on her own stuff so I wouldn't have to.

I'm probably still annoyed about the dishes. I love doing dishes, unless I'm here. Because there's nowhere to put the clean ones. She was using paper plates for years because of that. I got home and was like, "Um, no. That's a waste of money." Because she's still living paycheck to paycheck somehow. I have no idea what she's doing with her money, it's not my business either though. It's just so frustrating.

And I keep finding my water cup for my nightly meds just filled with trash. Everything is a storage container to her. It's so hard to live here. And she's had chances to get it fixed several times now, but keeps complaining that her kids who fixed up the house SEVERAL TIMES since 2009 are making her life terrible by "hiding" dishes and getting rid of things that we thought were trash.

Listen, woman, you weren't helping at all. If we thought something was trash and you weren't there to verify, that's not our problem.

At least my brothers and I made the kitchen usable. It used to be completely inaccessible. All of us were getting digestive problems.

Ugh. I think I should go out to the Greenway or something, I'm so agitated. When I'm not living here, I will feel better.

COVER LETTERS!!!

Dori's a great car name! :)

Oooh!!! That sounds so nice!!!

And thanks!! Should I spell it Dory or Dori??? Now I can't decide lol

 

[bellbird]

Should I spell it Dory or Dori???

I vote Dory :hug:

I really think you're right!!

No idea - is it Dori or Dory? I probably spelled it wrong, lol
