Oh, where to start…
I’ve had a blog in my head about current events and my feelings… feeling of not being brave, of not doing enough, not even knowing what to do. I don’t want to be remembered as not doing anything to stand up for what is right. I don’t want my grandkids to ever say, “Why didn’t Grammie do anything?”
So, I do what I can… I stay informed and I try to help educate others. I give to organizations that are able to stand up for our constitution and those that help to build up the community and not tear it down. At this time, it’s what I can do. Most of the time, I don’t feel like it’s enough but it’s what I can do…
I’ve been dealing with a few health challenges lately and working to get them taken care of and that’s a whole thing in itself! But I think it’s paying off. I haven’t had the energy to work in the yard in years. Poor DH has been having to do most of it by himself for all this time. My allergies have been the excuse I usually use, which is true but the lack of energy has been a huge part of it.
I’m usually tired 30 minutes after waking up and ready to get back in bed. If it’s sheet day, taking off the sheets exhausts me and I rest until the dryer is done and put them back on, and then need a nap!
It’s been terrible but finally, because I’ve started having heart palpitations and went to the ER one day, we are figuring it out.
I have sleep apnea and have been using a CPAP for about 18 days now and WOW… the difference is amazing. I put the sheets on the bed today in less than 10 minutes and wasn’t winded afterwards! I’ve worked out the yard, weeding most of the day and though I am tired, it’s with reason! I even took a break and fixed a delicious lunch for DH and I to enjoy together.
I feel like as my health is improving (still a long way to go) so is our relationship. I’m not too tired to be a part of it! We even danced around the living room after we ate lunch before he headed back to work! I’m feeling a little more like myself again.
I even cleaned DH’s CPAP today so he can get back to using his too. Now that I know how to do it, we are going to get him to really give it a good try and see if we can’t get both of us feeling like ourselves again!
And who knows, maybe having energy again will make me a little more brave so that I can stand up for what I believe in and what’s right. If we all do it wherever we are, we can make a difference!
Anyway, that’s where I’ve been and what I’ve been doing. Maybe I’ll be back here a little more often, maybe I won’t. Lol. Maybe I’ll be too busy using all this extra energy! 💫
Until next time… ♥️
