Disability Awareness Month

This is me living my best life. It took a good chunk of my adulthood to get to the point where I took ownership of my life and didn’t have to force a smile on my face. About a week ago, I met a pediatric occupational therapist. I thanked her for her work. She lookedContinue reading “Disability Awareness Month”

New routines

Now that I have a good working exercise bike and I have a membership in a program, I am starting to build a routine. First was getting my medications on board and a schedule that is consistent. Now, I move on my bike every day. 8 days and counting (I’ll stop counting at 75). AndContinue reading “New routines”

Pivot

My life is the same yet different. I go to work and do my best for my patients. I do not expect to be liked or to have connections with every patient. Yet that seems to be what my bosses want. So, it’s time to pivot… to areas of my true passion and calling. TheContinue reading “Pivot”

Foster Care Awareness Month

May is foster care awareness month, and as a foster and adoptive mom, I would love to encourage you to become a foster parent or consider adoption through foster care. I can’t say that, though. I love my son, and I loved every kid that I’ve ever had in my home. If being a fosterContinue reading “Foster Care Awareness Month”

Health update

I’ve been remiss on keeping up with my health and wellness for the past 2 years. When I got my job and switched insurance, my primary care provider became out of network. I tried and failed to find a new primary care for months and months. This past week, I finally got into a newContinue reading “Health update”

Traveling through the Tunnel

We’ve been at this for over a year. We entered the tunnel when our last/final? placement had some medical things that led to all kinds of fun. [insert sarcasm here] We thought we were through to the other side, and that’s when the bottom fell out from under us, and we discovered a whole newContinue reading “Traveling through the Tunnel”

2024 Thought of the Year

It is the end of the day on January 1, 2024. I have pondered over what I was going to say in this space for the better part of 2 months. We are still navigating the life curveball mentioned previously. But, the christmas present we received were letters clearing our names of wrongdoing, should helpContinue reading “2024 Thought of the Year”

Travel Log

So here’s the thing… I could give you a life update, but it’s not that interesting and I can’t talk about what we are experiencing right now anyway… so instead, I’m going to tell you that on Monday, October 9th, I was at Chase Field in Phoenix to see P!nk on her Summer Carnival 2023Continue reading “Travel Log”

Weekend

We were supposed to be witnesses to a wedding this past Saturday. Instead, we were subjected to verbal abuse, and the efforts we put in were completely ignored and unappreciated. I have lost complete respect and trust in the groom, and I have absolutely 0 desire to have any relationship with the bride. On theContinue reading “Weekend”

Health check in

If I can be grateful for anything from last weekend it is that I had a huge slap in the face regarding my health. I’m more diligent in tracking my morning and evening BGC. And, I finally scheduled an appt with an in network physician. I just need to start going to workout again. ItContinue reading “Health check in”
