May 26th: I live my life and do what I can do. It all comes down to showers because they are so very tiring. I get bummed on shower days from knowing it will be hard. I don’t even want to say “help me” but just want to feel sorry for myself. I know I’m strong, but right now I just want to sit here. I don’t want to shower today so I won’t.

MAY 28th: I was going to shower today but just couldn’t do it, so I didn’t.

May 29th: I took a modified bath today because showering seemed extremely hard. Although it wasn’t my favorite, and although I’m greatly tired, I did it. I keep surprising myself by thinking “I can’t do this again” and then doing it again. These experiences teach me just how strong I am and I’m grateful that even in weakness I have strength.
