Pushing Through and Catching Up

After three full days of being completely down, barely able to stay up for more than an hour or two before crawling back into bed, I’m finally starting to feel a bit better. Today, I was able to get outside and run some errands and let me just say, fresh air never felt so good.

I’m still really struggling with sleep, though. Five hours a night just doesn’t cut it, especially when living with chronic illness. It wears you down fast, and now my son and his whole family are sick, which has me a bit anxious since he was just here. I truly can’t afford another round of sickness not when I’ve already lost so much time.

It’s already May, and I feel like the year is speeding by while I’m stuck playing catch-up. I have so many goals, plans, and responsibilities and I can’t crush any of them from bed! Seriously, I’m not joking.

But despite the setbacks, today reminded me that I am making progress, even if it’s slow. One step at a time. I hope you all had a wonderful Thursday and found something to smile about today. 💛
