recovering A is sitting outside with caretaker B. it’s a pleasant day, with mild weather and sunshine, and B figures that even though A’s still fairly weak, the fresh air will do them good. and for a while, it does seem to lift their spirits and bring a bit of color back in their pale cheeks.

A enjoys being outdoors at first, but despite their sweater and the heat of the afternoon sun, they’re barely warm at all.

suddenly, the sun darts behind a cloud, and A shudders.

“feeling alright?” B asks, brow furrowing.

“I’m okay.” A wraps their arms around themselves, trying to ignore the goosebumps that prickle down their spine, and wishes they’d brought out a blanket to tuck around them. I thought the sweater was enough, it’s not even that cold.

the sun returns a few minutes later, but it’s too late—A feels their frail body start to tremble, overcompensating for the slight change in temperature.

“A, you’re shivering.”

“Just got a chill, that’s all.” A hates the way their voice wavers, the way they can barely force the words out through their chattering teeth, the way their bones are suddenly, impossibly freezing, like someone dumped a bucket of ice water over their head.

B jumps up from their chair and instantly comes to A’s side, cursing softly. “I’m so sorry. I shouldn’t have brought you out—“

“It’s fine, B. I wanted to come outside for a change.” Still, B helps them up and guides them inside to their chair, then covers their shivering frame with one blanket, then two, and begins to build up the fire in the small cabin.

“I’ll make you some tea, too, try and warm you up from the inside…” B’s voice trails off as they rustle around in the kitchen.

But A knows it’s no use from experience: they won’t truly stop feeling chilled until their hot bath tonight. And I can’t take my bath too early or else I’ll inevitably get cold some other stupid way, and I’m not making B run me two baths.

Recovering has been slow and frustrating, this part most of all. Why can’t their body maintain their temperature like it used to? Why are they so damn cold all the time?

They don’t realize they’re crying until they feel wipe away the twin tears on their cheeks, and they see B crouching to eye level. The concern on B’s face only makes A cry harder—they don’t want to be this weak, they didn’t used to be this way, they just want things to be better…

And they must say all that out loud, because now B’s arms are around them. “I know. I know it’s hard. We’ll get through this, A.”

There will be more blankets, and hot tea, and against A’s efforts, two baths. But in that moment, A’s never been more grateful for the warmth of B’s arms.

I will get through this.

temperature sensitivity is such an annoying part of my disability. what do you mean i can’t go out in colder weather or warmer weather because the cold gives me allergy-like symptoms that last for days and makes my hands stop working but the heat makes me lightheaded and headachey and too exhausted to think? what do you mean i can’t be in direct sunlight or direct contact with cold without breaking out in hives? why must i have the physical constitution of a sickly victorian boy?

#this post was brought to you from the protest that im trying so hard to participate in #despite the fact that the days are too hot and the nights are too cold #so i basically only get a couple hours of Doing Things before im running to the nearest tent or just going home #i know i still have a much easier time than a lot of disabled people but GOD it’s so fucking annoying. i want to Do Things!!!!!#couldn’t my body as least pick one temperature to have instead of making all of them suck #ehlers danlos syndrome #eds #heds #hypermobile ehlers danlos #hypermobile eds #dysautonomia #heat intolerance #cold intolerance #cold urticaria #actually disabled #actually chronically ill #chronic health issues

since i started spending more time learning about disability justice ive become way more understanding of people who say they love cold/hate heat because it finally clicked that some people are physically intolerant of heat the way i am of cold and experience negative symptoms. it was always just difficult to conceptualize that given that my only experience is of warm temperatures relieving the negative symptoms I experience in cooler temps! but it does seem like heat intolerance is more common by like 3 to 1 and people generally have very little understanding of why I need multiple layers and occasionally a handwarmer indoors.

all of which is to say they turned the AC back on at work, suffering destruction etc

#all my fingertips are white :) its 68 degrees :) no i don't know why my body is like this #things no one cares about #i know i should just go get my handwarmer but im being stubborn for some reason #raynauds #cold intolerance

Disabled friends: I saw where someone bought an Oodie for winter to help with cold intolerance and they are super cute but v expensive. I found this one on Amazon, and it's steeply discounted if you want something similar but you're on a budget:

The way I am a bottomless pit for the paneer butter masala the restaurant down the street makes... I put myself in a food coma last night from it (no survivors) and I'm already like "Man I could go for some butter masala and garlic naan"

Maybe this means I should learn to cook this dish next 🤔

#Creepy chatter #I tried it w chicken but honestly how can you enjoy chicken when you know you could have had freshly made paneer #My partner has been fucked up on that lamb vindaloo grind #And it smells soooo good but he likes things spicy and christ alive be nice to me but I am so weak #Specifically to indian heat. God. Like pharoahs curse this heat will burn the tongue for generations.#Southern hot food? Girlies I love to burn my fucking face and sippy ice cold water #The flavor of the pain is so good idk how to describe it. I only drink ice water w hot wings #Ice water makes Indian heat worse and I too lactose intolerant to slam all the lassi I need to survive #I think the difference is southern food usually has like vinegar based spice and Indian food is more oil based heat?#Idk I'm weak to lingering spicy

#it was an inner dialogue I had with myself #‘but you’re lactose intolerant’ the other me said #‘I suppose you’re right’ the rest of me concluded as I ate the cold leftovers of my pizza from yesterday #my art #doodles #tincrow #tinman #scarecrow #the wonderful wizard of oz #wizard of oz

We got a fresh dusting of laika crack today!

Perk of us doing the same route regularly is I know where the icy patches are pretty well even with them being mostly or completely hidden by the fresh powder. Torch also seems to have recognized the pattern and often starts offering excited heeling shortly before we get to an ice patch 💕 we haven't been getting crazy mileage in lately but have still been getting in our nice morning and evening walks, and I may be brave enough for a proper long walk tomorrow evening. Been feeling a lot better the past few days, I'd been in a mental health funk, and I'm sleeping better now as well, so my energy levels are recuperating finally

#i dont take many pics lately bc even i am not totally impervious to the cold and my fingies get chilly #also though i was out in a t shirt today while it was snowing and my coworkers have questions about my sanity #maybe when it warms up they'll leave me alone this time about being out in the rain happily lmao #or at least be understanding of my intolerance for the heat #torch #west siberian laika

one of the things that really sticks out to me about nirvana in fire is how in winter you can see everyone's breath during conversations. even indoors, which is probably somewhat realistic! people smarter than me have probably already talked about the snow/fire motifs that wind through the show but the additional way the cold is so present is really striking.

God I love Valentines (I've had a migraine for two days now)

#Emile's Arts #Koro-Sensei #I am lactos intolerant AND chocolate gives me migraines #And yet I do this literally Ever Year #Eat chocolate all day suffer the consequences #Which is no sleep I have not slept but I am all better today #I am also all out of chocolate so this is unlikely to happen again for a while #A migraine is one of few times I will not let Koro-Sensei touch me #Because he is Hot and Hot makes it worse #I will lay here with my ice cold wash cloth and suffer (and eat more chocolate)#And eventually I'll be better #I don't know how to fix a migraine it's always been a 'It'll get better when it's better' sort of situation for me #I guess the best way to fix it is to avoid triggers #But no. I like chocolate.

this is so weak and Californian but I really am tired of it being this cold

#we made it through this week’s storm fine so I have no business complaining #but I have become so intolerant of cold and rainy weather in the past few years
