I signed up for this mailing list (and the NFB Washington one) last week to start keeping track of local NFB and community activities, especially as NFB resources online have been very helpful to me. I thought it would be friendly to introduce myself and not just lurk. :)<br></div><div><br></div><div>I've been going through a pretty dramatic vision loss over the past year. It's not clear how much vision I will retain (I already can't read at all in one eye or normal size text near or close in the other, as well as other impacts). I'm currently the primary income for my household (husband, a preschool kid and my mother at home) so planning to adjust be able to continue working (as a software developer) is very important to me. <br></div><div><br></div><div>Looking through the archives to see who posts, I think I've met Peggy this summer at a Beacon Hill Safe Streets event. I think I also met Jacob years ago at some Seattle Transit Blog events. So hello again! <br></div><div><br></div><div>Rachael Ludwick<br></div></body></html>
