Look Ma, No Hands!

Things I can do outside of residential:

• Pluck my eyebrows and file my nails without supervision.
• Shave my legs without supervision.
• Just kidding, that's weird. I don't need to check out my razor from a safe though, which is nice.
• Use face wipes.
• Use scissors to cut off tags on new clothing.
• Use scissors, period. And not of the child safety variety.
• Take meds without the RC checking to ensure I didn't pour out more than two Tums. God forbid.
• Take meds without the RC logging what and when.
• Unfortunately, this also means forget to take meds, some of which have very negative consequences when missed. Learned this the hard way.
• Go to the bathroom without asking someone to unlock it.
• Flush my own toilet.
• Take the stairs. After six weeks, my legs were rusty. Use it or lose it, apparently.
• Drink as much water as I want!
• Use as much pepper as I want!
• Drink as much COFFEE as I want!
• Unfortunately, this also means overconsumption and anxiety.
• Not have to show my empty mouth and pockets after eating.
• Come and go as I please. Not during partial hours, of course.
• Come back to the apartment and not need to have my body and purse inspected.
• Keep my shopping bags.
• Shower at other times after 7:30 AM.
• Touch people.
• Get your mind of out the gutter. I meant hugs.
• Eat dinner without supervision or having to rate my feelings. Still have to do this 3x per day in partial. C'est la vie dans un centre de trouble de l'alimentation!
• Use google translate.
• Just kidding I could do that in resi.
• Get triggered more. Will address that in an upcoming post.

K, bye!
