About Me

I am a below knee amputee. More importantly, I am also Mommy to two boys, a very active 10 year old (Robby) and an mischievous toddler (Timmy). I have learned that being a parent with a disability can create some unusual and sometimes humorous situations. This blogger is available for hire! Let's talk and learn how a blog can expand your business.

Better

Each morning I have been waking up feeling a tad better and the afternoons are slowly becoming easier to manage. I am no longer immediately out of breath when I walk Friend outside and I can think about food without feeling nauseous. In another few days I expect to be fully recovered although I am sure it will take a few weeks for me to regain my strength. It has been years since I have been this sick for so long!

After all of our issues with leaking I never thought I would say this but, with a new roof and a tarp already secured over the chimney, I'm looking forward to the rainy weekend. The prospect of staying cocooned for another few days is appealing. I have a lot of work to catch up on around the house and on my computer and it is always easier to work when I am not lured outside to play.

Have a great weekend. Stay safe, and stay healthy!

Sick

 I have been dealing with Covid for nearly a week. I'm still feeling ill, but I am finally starting to turn the corner. My fever is not rising as high and my headache is not as debilitating. I can finally see a light at the end of this miserable coughing tunnel. Hopefully I will be fully myself in a few more days. In the meantime, I'm going to continue to pace myself so I don't end up setting back my recovery. 

Covid stinks. I hate being sick.

Miserable

 Covid is no joke.

My headache seems to be waning while the discomfort in my chest has increased. I'm miserable, but I remain functional. (Of course, I'm a Mom so we don't get sick leave.)  I'm so thankful that I managed to avoid the infection for so long and grateful that I am vaccinated. I know I could be considerably sicker if I weren't protected.

With Robby already recovering, I'm optimistic that I will soon turn the corner. I don't have time to be so sick!

Covid Positive

 After nearly 2.5 years, my Covid dodging streak has come to an end. I have Covid and I'm miserable. I haven't felt this sick in a long time. I'm thankful that I am vaccinated and boosted because I don't want to imagine how I would be feeling if I weren't somewhat protected.  

 Today's blog is short because typing makes me dizzy.
