This clever "upright" computer mouse is such an essential tool for me, I felt it deserved a shout-out. I'm so grateful that this mouse exists. The normal ones are so painful for me to use. I've mentioned before that I'm a #writer who can't really write. An #illustrator who can't really draw. I have #fibromyalgia and #hypermobilejoints, which mean I can't hold a pencil or use a normal mouse for more than a couple of minutes at a time, or my hand seizes up, and my elbow and shoulder pain goes from tolerable to horrendous. I really wanted to #illustrate my recent #fostercare #book "Room in the Nest," by myself, so I learned how to create backgrounds digitally (I love making clouds and rainbows 😍) and how to digitally edit pictures. So I don't need to draw very much at all. I draw the bare minimum, and use digital tools and this hero of a mouse to change the raw sketch into something pretty. #hypermobility #fibrowarrior #illustratorlife #disability #disabilityhack #disabilitytool #fibromyalgiaawareness #hypermobilityawareness #chronicpain #painwarrior #hypermobilejoints #ehlersdanlossyndrome #ehlersdanlos #fostering #fosteringstories #fostercarestory #fostermama #pflegemama #pflegemami #adopcion #cuidadodeniños #mamandaccueil #mamanadoptive #parentsadoptifs #pflegeeltern https://www.instagram.com/p/CikYagaMhOh/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

We saw my son's foster brother a couple of weeks ago. He's been moved to a different placement, and I wasn't sure if we would be able to see him again. My son absolutely loves his foster siblings, so I am hugely relieved that we have managed to get in touch with this lovely lad's new carer and arrange to meet up. We had a fab morning catching up, and at the end, my son's foster brother gave him this toy car and told him he wants him to have it. He's played with it every day. A lot of people talk about sibling relationships and how important it is to stay in contact with blood siblings who are placed elsewhere. Don't forget foster siblings too. Those bonds can be so precious. ❤️ #fostersiblings #fosterbrothers #fosterbrother #fosterfamily #fostercarematters #foreverfamily #lovemakesafamily #siblings #attachment #attachmentbuilding #buildingattachments #fostercare #thisisfostercare #fostering #fosteringstory #fostercarestory #pflegemami #pflegemama #pflegefamilie #pflegeeltern #familledacceuil #famille #mamandaccueil #cuidadodeniños #adopcion #adoption #adoptionsupportuk #postadoptionsupport #socialwork #socialworkmatters https://www.instagram.com/p/ChngHpCMGEz/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
