Keeping Calm and Carrying On

I skipped writing a blog last week. It was for two main reasons. First, I hate writing bad news and second, I don’t like to repeat myself.

Last week and this week had the same general theme: this continues to be incredibly hard and I continue to be unwell.

Unfortunately, I seem to be one of the unlucky survivors who were not helped by the vaccine.

Symptoms I have recently had battle with include insomnia, headaches, back aches, leg aches, brain fog, and continuing troubles with my cycle.

I recently had an ultrasound of my uterus and my doctor has concluded that I need a d&c. I’m awaiting scheduling for this outpatient surgery.

Currently, my most frustrating symptom is ear congestion. It’s currently intense and nothing seems to be helping.

I’m also still having trouble balancing work. It’s led to some unfortunate backsliding in other areas of my life like cleaning, grooming, eating right, and cooking.

This work is so important but the number of people who need serious help right now is troubling. I’m glad I am here though. Able to help share the load that the rest of my team has been carrying by themselves all these past months.

That’s why I came back. For my boss, for the team, for our clients. I came back not because I thought it would be easy but because I felt it was doable.

I now see that I’m going to need some divine intervention to help me with work and with my health. But, I also know that I can trust in that. I want to dive even deeper into that in a separate blog. Be on the lookout for that one.

So, for now, I carry on. I’m excited to say that I will soon be welcoming a new furry little friend into my home. I’ll be fostering a cat through the charity Paws Between Homes which fosters animals so that victims of housing instability don’t have to lose their pets.

I’m very happy about it. I’ve been missing having a pet around and I am hopeful that his presence may help me with sticking to a schedule and fighting some of the negativity that I have been experiencing lately.

It’s not easy but I am doing my best to keep calm and carry on.
