Strange happenings
Written by Claire on Thursday, April 5, 2007
In the past week or so, something strange has been happening. There have been a few moments where I was annoyed by my chair, and got out of it to do something, instead of enjoying the experience of doing it in the chair.
Things are harder to do in the chair, and until now I’ve not minded that, reveled in doing it in the chair, but recently just felt mild annoyance at the extra effort required and got out. Today, though, I was alone in the house and took a little spin and it still felt so good. I am wondering if my BIID is trying to go into a dormant stage again, and will it be able to if I’ve got the chair around. And do I even want it to? Somehow, if that would happen, I would almost feel a sense of loss. I’d lose that deeply peaceful feeling I get from being in the chair, because I’ve never felt that way even when my BIID was very low.

I think it is entirely natural to be annoyed with the chair at times. Things *are* harder and I think it’s just a natural stage of your BIID “evolution” that you’re meeting.
You’ve moved from “everything is new and shinny” to “a routine is setting in”. Routine isn’t bad. I think that it is in fact an important period, when you start living as a wheeler rather than learning about wheeling.
I mean, you’re not going full-time, but you’ve done some things enough that they aren’t just new and learning.
