I survived the first day of school today.  I love seeing the familiar faces mixed in with the new.  I love when my former students stop by for a hug and to say hello.

Back to the grind.  Meeting my new children.  New Mumford and Sons.  New DMB.  New Avett Bros.  

I have learned a thing or two since I was diagnosed in 2010.  I always have to preface these posts with the fact that I am speaking for myself, since EDS and POTS are such “spectrum diseases.”  

1. summer
2. fro-yo
3. feta
4. my hair stylist

I usually do not like to use Life as a Zebra as a forum for politics, but I feel like this issue is different since it is very personal to me, as someone whose life has been directly affected by governmental immunity.
