Vitality, if not wasted in the pursuit of vulgar pleasures, becomes the means of building up a high level of character and achievement. On the other hand, the self-indulgent remain at a low level of the finer faculties and are of little use, to themselves or to the world.

Practical Nature-Cure (9th Ed.) by K. Lakshmana Sarma, 1956 Chapter: XI Continence

Made mum a Mother’s Day present. It’s a ‘kylie’/pad for her wheelchair. She just has 2 store brought ones currently which aren’t very pretty. Didn’t cost me anything because I already had all the supplies. Yay for not spending money for once. I like it when ideas just come to you for presents, not wandering around aimlessly trying to find something.

Something I realised after making it, I wonder if there’s a market for these. 🤔 Surely there would be if there aren’t already lots of makers out there in a community I know nothing about. Cutting the fabric was the most difficult bit & if I did it regularly I could make the seams much more straight.

I have too much school work to give into sexual sin.

I can't stop winning, God has blessed my fortitude. I have three essays due on the same day.
