http://blog.disableddiscounts.com/2011/09/what-if.html
Sunday, September 11, 2011. As I have said before. This is a personal blog. And I try to avoid politics. However, today I would like. To make a small exception. I am a sixties girl. From the top of my redhead. To the tip of my buzzing toes. I still have my. And other living things". As far as I know,. They are not making the bumper stickers. Or there would be one on my car. Like the one I had on my little green bug. With the pink flower decals. That I drove so long ago. With everyone in a mood.

Mara's Butterfly Blog from Disabled Discounts: July 2011
http://blog.disableddiscounts.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
Wednesday, July 13, 2011. This won't be the longest blog I ever wrote. It's one of those blogs. When I just need to write something. So that I feel that I'm productive. And not giving in. My legs feel like flaming red hot torches. Everyday my head seems to pound. Just when I catch on to the tune. Confounding me yet again. How will I learn it this time? They burn, they snap, they pop. It feels like I don't have any fingers. Nights are like long narrow tunnels. I twist and turn. I feel a bit like I'm lost.

Mara's Butterfly Blog from Disabled Discounts: August 2011
http://blog.disableddiscounts.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
Sunday, August 28, 2011. The jester and the night crawler 2. OKI did it again. And I pushed publish blog. As I was typing. I refuse to get upset! Everything matters, nothing matters very much. So I will continue now with my story. The jester does not like it when I scoff at him. He wants to be taken. So he grabs one leg and then the other. And flips each one in turn. Like he's throwing fish. My legs are bouncing everywhere. There is no place to just curl up. I'm buzzing and humming. He wants to show me.

http://blog.disableddiscounts.com/2011/08/tad-weepy.html
Sunday, August 7, 2011. One of my little MS nightmares came true. And I've been a tad weepy. I was backing down our driveway. When my right leg cramped! My foot was on the brake. The way it always is. As I'm backing down. Our driveway is a bit steep. But I'm quite accustomed to backing out. I've been doing it for almost ten years now. So there I was. In reverse, picking up speed,. Foot clamped tightly to the brake. But buzzing madly now. And my leg cramping. As if someone had rammed a screwdriver.

http://blog.disableddiscounts.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
Sunday, June 26, 2011. Notes about the questions blog. I'm having a mini meltdown about accidentally hitting the wrong button as I was attempting to save my writing.my hand jerked and spasmed and I of course, hit the publish post button instead of the save button.I was starting to get a headache and thought it would be a good idea to stop for the moment. Next weekend when we return and I'm settled.I'm not perfect, with or without MS.and I made a mistake. For as long as I can remember. As a little girl.

Mara's Butterfly Blog from Disabled Discounts: the belle of the ball
http://blog.disableddiscounts.com/2011/11/belle-of-ball.html
Sunday, November 20, 2011. The belle of the ball. My eyes snapped open. She was pressed contentedly against me. And I was disturbing her. As I twisted around to look at the clock. 2 o'clock in the morning. I had turned my beside light off. Barely an hour ago. Something had startled me awake. I'm not the soundest. Or the deepest sleeper. But this seemed to be a new record. I struggled to adjust the comforter. It felt heavy and weighted down. I peered into the darkness. Pinned beneath the comforter. At the...

Mara's Butterfly Blog from Disabled Discounts: Reflections...Notes, Poems, etc
http://blog.disableddiscounts.com/p/reflectionsnotes-poems-etc.html
Reflections.Notes, Poems, etc. Instead of a profile, reflections is like having a little notebook of my more intimate thoughts available as a companion piece to the blog. Jolted from dreamless dreams. As the moon crests. Over the edge of black damask night. My body thick and still with pain. Laden with over ripe fruit. My bent limbs heavy. From a tainted crop. The soft rotting fruit. Or be picked clean. By the little birds of time. Somewhere in the distance. The shrill female wailing of a siren.

Mara's Butterfly Blog from Disabled Discounts: May 2011
http://blog.disableddiscounts.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
Wednesday, May 11, 2011. This is not the blog. I was planning to write. This is the blog. I needed to write. Because I needed to write. A few weeks ago. I began working on a blog. That I hoped would be. I could visualize the words. Sparkling on the page. Then like out of some dark fairy tale. The winds howled, growled. My head began to ache. And ache and ache. Free floating anxiexty settled on my shoulders. I grew very very tired. Wandering in and out of days. As if I were lost. One of them being. My fre...
