Don't be afraid to ask for things like having the music turned down. They will almost ALWAYS oblige. My brother in law is a restaurant manager and I know for a fact if you went to his place he'd jump through hoops to please you.
Also, if you get good service from a place, or they have good food, spread the word. Also, let the manager know. All they ever hear, most of the time, is complaints. It is a big deal for them when someone reports especially good service or food.
That really goes for any service type thing. I was in the hospital for several days a few years ago. One of the nurses was extraordinary. Dispute being quite ill, and scared (I came very close to not surviving) she did so much to make me feel better.
I wrote a letter to her boss, telling them how good she was. I got a long letter of thanks back, AND she got a rise in pay, which was something she really needed.
Things like that really do make a difference, and it can really make someone's day to get a letter praising their work.
I love how when you give the "back" command, Harlow moves the back half of her body, and then the front. She's so cute!
harlow that eye brow wiggle tho from 2:24 - 2:32. So cute!
I'm so excited for you! I definitely take for granted my independence to do "simple" tasks, watching your channel helps me to be more aware of the blessings I have in my life that I may not take notice of.
LumaLazuli I agree. This channel has taught me so much about myself and other people :)
I'm so glad you are doing so well! I understand the feeling of having freedom to be independent and then leaving it taken away. I'm legally blind and have never drive a car, but when my health went bonkers I was gifted a power wheelchair that gave me freedom I didn't realize I was missing out on. That was in 2000. Since then my insurance has paid for two of them. My last one was in 2006. If I lived on my own, I would qualify for a new one, but since I live in a skilled nursinghome, my insurance will not cover one. I found reasons to leave the facility almost everyday, but several weeks ago, the main drive Axel broke! So now I'm cooped up in here and I am stuck! I feel like a caged bird, and I am not happy!!! LOVE and PRAYERS ALWAYS
Danette Hartsock Sucks they won’t cover another one, but you’re getting the care you need.
Aw, Harlow is too cute with her dinosaur! And your outfit is super adorable. (:
"Wait for it...wait for it...I can hear her..." *Harlow comes into view with her ears flopping*
Night shift is hard - my husband and I did night shift at the hospital (I'm an RN he is a PA) for quite a few years- but I had to leave my job when our daughter turned 1 because we NEVER saw each other, and no one was ever awake enough to take care of the baby, plus I also have several chronic illness so night shift and floor nursing was just too tough for my body. Off topic, sorry, my point is that night shift will definately need some getting used too and you will find out through trial and error what works best for your family!
I'm - 4.75 in either eye haha, my glasses look like coke bottles. Your mum is adorable, it's awesome how supportive all of your family are of you!
Walmart grocery pick up is a spoony's DREAM!! I have an autoimmune disease so when I'm fatigued I do the Walmart pick up & it saves me!
That blanket is just a few shades different from your new pants! Love it! It's always good to have something from home to comfort you!
It's so exciting when you feel well enough to venture out on your own! Congratulations ! We have a handicapped bus service here that picks you up and drops you off in front of your house. If you have something like that where you live, it would give you another option to venture out on your own if you want to go somewhere but are too tired to drive.
The rest of the year? That's a long time to be on night shift =(
Jessica Jones I’m an RN. I worked straight 12 hour night shifts (7 pm-7 am) for five years.
Unfortunately it's not that uncommon. My partner worked nightshift for fifteen years with only one-two days off a week. Then he was made redundant and he now works 2 12 hour days, then 2 12 hour nights and four days off.
That is so awesome that they turned the music down! Now that is exceptional customer service and accommodation!
That blanket is so pretty!! And congrats for going out by yourself today! Great job! Get plenty of rest tomorrow.
I actually love that you talked about your eyes today because I have been meaning to ask you about that exactly!
In my research to figure out whether I might develop joint issues in the future, as I fit some criteria for EDS I found out that bad nearsightedness (mine is considered high degree, about -8 ) and other eye problems (like astigmatism, strabismus, etc (which I also have) and similar) can also be connected to the tissue weakness caused by EDS. Do you know whether your nearsightedness might be connected to your EDS/do you know something about that correlation in general?
Hey! I have EDS and I also have astigmatism and nearsightedness. You are correct in saying that they are related. Additionally, EDS can cause tears in the eye tissue, although I haven’t heard of this commonly occuring in EDS patients. Hope that helped and I hope you can get a diagnosis soon!
Thank you for the reply lovely stranger! I appreciate it lots, thanks for sharing your knowledge c:
fine piece of aspegers that’s really interesting, I never thought about there being a link between eyesight and other conditions! I’m the only one of my siblings (out of 4) who needs glasses so there could be a link!
Yep, same here. Nearsighted with astigmatism, EDS, etc. My cousins all had eye correction surgery when they are super little because they were crossing. They don't have other symptoms of EDS and haven't been tested, but I suspect it's EDS. Good luck to you.
fine piece of aspegers You’re welcome!
I love that you and your mom have this great, funny, understanding relationship. Reminds me so much of MY mom -- how fiercely she fought for me as I was trying to get diagnosed, all the incredible laughs we had, and how patient she was. I said goodbye to her on 9/1/16 at age 91. I still have my wonderful dad at age 95...but there is nothing like a mama. Glad you count your blessings. I always did too.
Thank you so much for all the videos. When I feel like I’m going through chronic pain, I watch all your videos and watching you and Harlo, always bring a smile to me and make me feel like I’m not alone.
I'm sooooo proud of u. Going out and do some errands byurself is a really really big task for u. Even if it's just one small thing is a really biiig task for u. Im soooo proud of ur independence. I'm proud of hippo. She's soo adorable. How hippo has a lot of toys. I hope u get used to his sleep schedule with his night shift.
What a great service that the actually turned down the music. That's just amazing. Ur mom is the best. U have an amazing mom. Mother/daughter time is great. Families are important. I miss Judd. Hope he's OK wherever he is.
So happy to hear that Jaquie! The blanket is made of Muslin which is often used for baby blankets. I’m so glad your mom is so kind and understanding. Huge props to the hostess who turned the music down for you.
SO happy to see you driving again! independence is so amazing. it's hard for me to go out by myself so i know what it's like to savor the little adventures.
It’s been a while, since I’ve watched your videos, the new intro was very nice and I am verry happy that you are doing well! Especially since you did the errand independantly!
I need that as a tee-shirt
Progress not perfection 💙
I'm so happy you can drive again. You looked really happy and feeling good. I can really tell it took a lot out of you. Awesome you and Harlow got out by yourself .
Did you know Harlow is on "top 100 viral videos 2017" for him getting ranch dressing from fridge instead of the water you asked for ..... Yay!!!!
The blanket is very pretty! The longer I have to wait for treatment of my Chiari Malformation, the worse my autonomic nervous system gets at controlling my body temp. It seems I'm cold more often, which is crazy since I live in Texas! I really hate what CCI and Chiari does when it paired together with EDS.
As someone who works in two restaurants you should never feel bad about asking to turn the music down ! Most of the time we don’t notice how loud it is being behind the counter and I really doubt any customer is then going to complain the music is too low 😂 I’ve had people ask to turn it down simply because they didn’t like what was playing, so you definitely shouldn’t feel bad
Do you think it would be appropriate to name the Irish restaurant you went to? It might help others in your area who have sensory issues as well to know of a place that was so accommodating. But I understand if you don’t feel it’s appropriate. But I’m glad they helped you and your Mom have a special meal out together!
That blanket is BEAUTIFUL! When I can afford it, I’m going to get one for my Home as I have medical issues, and I caregive for my father. Thank you for linking to your friend’s shop!
ravenmun it may have just been that hostess not the restaurant itself.
You seemed to be doing much better today than I think I’ve seen you in a while! Glad you are able to take advantage of your good days! And I hope this trend can continue for you!
Harlow's shifty eyebrows kill me. So cute!
Its always really touches my heart and makes me happy when someone does something out of their way to help me even when its something simple like turning down the music. :)
I’m so glad you’re feeling better
Your hair is looking *beautiful!!* :)
YAY! congrats on conquering going out! That blanket is very pretty, unfortunately I need very very soft:( There was a reason you ended up at that restraunt, THAT IS AWESOME customer service!
Disney Gamer the blanket she got is made of muslin and that is the material often used for baby blankets. Having handled quite a few babies, I do know the material is very soft.
OHH! That's good to know, Thanks and Yes babies are very soft!
And it only get softer the more you wash it
Well I’m a police officer my self. I was on night shift for 15 years. How I spent time with the family was when I got home at 6 I would sleep till 2 or 3 and stay up with a lot of coffee. That’s how I spent time with my family.
You go girl!!! And you to Harlow!!!
I’m so happy for you! Congrats on your newfound independence and here’s hoping things only get better!!
Hi thanks for another adventure. I'm always asking restaurants to turn down their music. I just don't like going out to eat and you can't even have a discussion with somebody and makes it so unappetizing to me. Well I'm glad you're getting your Independence and that you're grateful for it and it's awesome just awesome the steps you're taking to move forward bye for now see you tomorrow
Your video of Harlow bringing you a bottle of Ranch made the top 100 viral videos!
YOUR GETTING BETTER AHHHHHHHHHHH IM SO HAPPY FOR YOU
Just know I know that you aren’t 100% better but I’m just so happy that you got to have this experience
That was really nice of the hostess at the restaurant! also your outfit is so cute, you weren't kidding when you said you have cute cold weather clothes!
Wow 😲 ~~ I like your new intro and the fact that you’re doing things independently!
Beautiful new intro. Wonderful new, one step at a time and don’t over do things.
Haven’t been on your channel in a while but nice to see your still going 👍. And looking good 😊😉
The blanket is perfect 👌 I’ve just had a look at her store and they’re all so beautiful.
I bought a blanket a few months back, and it is awesome. Very good quality and comfortable, worth the cost and the cause!
Wow, just realized you are getting closer to a 100,000 subscribers! You will be getting that silver play button soon!
That's really funny, I just got my eyes checked last week! I'm going back in tomorrow because I have finally decided that I want to try contacts. I think they will make life easy in some ways. I'm really worried about it though, that's why I haven't gotten them sooner. Do you have any advice for a first time contact user? I really would like them to work. Hope your having an awesome day! 💕🐶👍🏻
Julie Hill Keep your hands clean when you’re inserting or removing them. And don’t use water in lieu of solution or drops! Also, don’t sleep in them, but if you do, you’re probably fine. (:
Good for you taking a break from technology and enjoying your Mom.
Hi Jaquie,glad to see your feeling better today
Harlow is such a good dog 😁 x
Harlow, I love your dinosaur!
Loved your outfit and the blanket is so cute 😍😍😍😍😍
awesome new intro! you look lovely Jaq
Been watching your new intro Harlow winks at us that is do adorable!
My mom has to work nights quite often as well, but instead of getting black out curtains, she just put up giant pieces of Styrofoam to block out the light. It looks rather odd from outside
Congradulations! :D
Love you Jaquie you’re incredibly inspiring and I look forward to your videos everyday. Harlow is soooooooooooooooo cute
Those leggings look so cute on you!! My husband works nights to. He has for 12 yrs. We love the blackout curtains.
Congratulations on getting out on your own!
Very Cute Vlog =D And Story's About The Day Glad The Restaurant Did That For You!!
Is that like a muslin blanket!? I love those! The best!
I love the new intro. Keep up the good work!
Jaquie tysm for the curtain recommendation. As someone who works night shifts i was looking for some
I have often asked restaurants to turn down their music and there is never a problem.
Loving the videos!
Yey! Congratulations on the independece! :D
Love the blanket. You are so lucky to have such a wonderful relationship with your mother, there is some mothers and daughters that don’t have that and unfortunately I’m one of them,, she lives about 5 miles away and I have teenage granddaughter’s that still live at home, but as sisters go there always bickering. I love my daughter so much and I wish that we had that relationship that you have. You’re very very lucky. On a funny note, my medium size dog kitty just loves to drag out all her toys just like Harlow. So I wait till later on in the evening and have her put them away. I need to purchase a better basket for her for her toys, she has a lid on it but she knows how to lift it, she’s a smart little cookie. I’ll have to go on Instagram and send you a picture of her she’s such a cutie. But there’s so many times I wish she wasn’t so cute because everybody wants to pet her for people come up without even asking to pet her. It’s an all ongoing training issue, because she thinks it’s OK that they come up and pet her and she is now walking towards them when she should be focusing on me. I thought well maybe I should just have a t-shirt made up that says “Please Do Not Pet My Service Dog”. But on the other hand I also thought maybe that wouldn’t even work. She wears patches on her vests and jackets and people still don’t see those. I’m so excited you had a wonderful day going out and just being yourself and being very independent.
Thank you for sharing I'm glad you were able to get out with Harlow and get your eyes done and yes nearsighted is when you can't see far out I'm legally blind and I'm farsighted so the side I do have I'm lucky I'm farsighted does that make sense hair so cute with Harlow and her toys how sweet to print the men's print them out she's a beautiful service dog just lover and I'm glad you took your mother out your mother is very sweet and patient I need to reserve that time together much love God bless and that blanket wow that's awesome what a wonderful charity what a wonderful person much love God bless and I'll see you on the
Just for future reference the type of blanket you got is called muslin cloth blanket 🙂
Is it still cold down there? Still frigid in NY. Seems like the whole country is affected. 😱
My ex had at least one coffee shop/cafe they would go to where during quieter times the cafe were willing to dim the lights and music + my ex would curl up on the sofa. Not sure many places in London (UK) would do that to be honest!
Harlow cleans up better than my son ever did, quicker too. :)
love today's outfit !
Do you guys possibly have a po box? i would love to send you guys some stuff just to show extra appreciation for you guys and your content!!
Music in restaurants can be so annoying. I would recommend Thai food. They tend to not have any music and its super quiet and peaceful. :)
Congrats!
I notice that most restaurants have loud music. My dad is hard of hearing and I have asked to have the music turned down they were pretty nice about it.
Harlow is the cutest dog ever😍😍
I haven't watched in about a month or so and even unsubscribed because I felt that the vlogs began to be very pessimistic and would depress me but coming back I love the new intro and outro and the positivity that you have. IDK if I'll be back but good job on... life I guess😂😂
hope you are doing awesome!
So happy for you jaq xxx
Can you make a video explaining how you trained Harlow and what it took to train her?
Reagan Faulkner she has an all about harlow video that covers those topics. There’s a table of contents in that video so you can skip around to the parts you want to watch
We got black out curtains but we did because I live in Wisconsin
the blanket matches your pyjamas for hospital :) :) :)
How do you load and unload your wheelchair when you're alone?
Jaquie, I am curious about your noise cancelling head phones. Could you please share which ones you have?
Do you have a video that shows how to teach your dog to pick up their toys?
I am so happy for you
hey you are awesome!
Proud
What brand of noise cancelling headphones do you use and like?
I saw a service dog today and I went ooo doggy not gonna bother it
happy ♥.
Jackie you need to stop pushing yourself, you need to take a rest day!
I know I don't know what your body needs but you keep pushing your limits and suffering the next day for it
That's chronic illness for ya! We have moments we need to push ourselves (we have things to do, too) and moments when we rest because the pain isn't worth spending the energy on. Jacquie *does* rest; we just don't see it as much because she doesn't film it.
Harlow is so well behaved and she cleans up! I love my kids to death and they are super helpful but they dont clean like Harlow!😎 Glad to see you having more better days.
Love you!! xoxoxo
i have those curtens
1:47 hippos is sleep standing lol
Hi Jacquie if you see this would you mind directing me to the black out curtains? I've been looking for months as I get complex migranes. Hope you're having a well day/hour 🤞
Rachelle Kin she posted a link in the description, if I could I would copy and paste it here but my phone won’t let me

Weird question, but I don't know a whole lot about EDS- I see other bloggers stretching their skin out for the camera (I know it's because EDS affects your collagen production) and I was wondering if you are able to do that too? I also heard it gives an unusual benefit of not getting any wrinkles on your face - just looking at it in a positive light!
Hey Jaq when are you having your feeding tube surgery I'm sure you already said in a video and didn't catch it😂
Maggie Umphlet the 15th of january!
