Me too, bear. Me too.

it should be like prohibited for a chronically ill person to get a normal illness because wdym i have to go through a fucking cold when im already having to deal with all these symptoms everyday

Being neurodivergent and chronically ill is crazy because you already have issues with executive functions and then your body hinders you even more. AND your sensory issues are heightened by the pain you feel.

Something I think people who don’t live with chronic illness don’t understand is that there is a big difference between resting to get better and resting to avoid getting worse.

i am aware of the problems. however. i would rather be comfy in my bed. good night.

i posted about this on twitter but i work at a starbucks and my coworker had to go home because of a severe allergic reaction just from taking one sip from a drink with foam mistakenly made in a blender that had pistachio in it. like, hives, puking the rest of the day, etc. starbucks has a “we cant guarantee that anything we make doesnt have allergens in it” policy so they wont ever do anything about it so all (if any) precautions put in place are just what each store decides. we had to basically badger and beg our manager to put something in place to sanitize them regularly even after previously mentioned coworker could have died so its highly unlikely other stores have anything in place. so yeah seriously please please please be careful with the cold foam if you have a major nut allergy. 

also on the subject of requesting a sanitized blender, that is possible and you can try but i will be 100% honest and say as a starbucks employee i see people cut corners every day and i would not trust anyone to do it properly enough that theres no risk, especially if its a busy time of day and theyre in a rush. unfortunately the best option would probably be just to avoid cold foam all together. 

One day you will look back and realize that your timing was perfect, and why things had to happen the way they did. To protect you, to guide you and to redirect you to where you were always meant to be. Trust the process of your evolution and growth - it's all divine timing.
