Writings about Ataxia, being DeafBlind, family life. The best life can offer!


I’m back!

Hi there!

It is mid February and I haven’t posted a lot…

There are a few reasons for that:

I got some new hardware for my iPad, including a new keyboard, and stand,

Then, the iPad itself had a crack, then many cracks, then spider webs of cracks appears!

I had to order a replacement.

When that arrived, a piece of the charging cord, a tiny minuscule bit, broke off inside the charging port, and I couldn’t charge it.

So, I took it back to Apple Store, five minutes later, the Genius guy, named Fang BTW, used tweezers to get the tiny piece of shit out!

Now, the iPad is fixed and I can go forth and blog!

I am also waiting for a “table” to put the iPad on, so that it is higher and closer to me. So that I am not scrunched over like a wilting flower!

All these improvements will make blogging for accessible, comfortable and worthwhile!

Once I have everything together, I’ll take some photos and share!

Thank you for reading!
