Good morning, beautiful people!
I sit here after almost two years of radio silence, cobbling together some thoughts to share.
As you know, a lot is happening right now (understatement). Personally, a lot changed about a year and a half ago when I took a job on the west coast, while my husband stayed in Colorado. The job was in a completely new field for me, so we wanted to give it a trial run before we moved the household. We thought we would be strong enough to handle it, and we did. But what we learned was that is something we will NEVER do again. If you ever need help with navigating a similar situation, hit me up in the contact page and I can give you some advice.
So just before the shit hit the pandemic fan, husband, dog and one of our children hit the road and traveled west to join me. We got lucky and found a wonderful rental near the beach, the job is going well, and just a couple weeks after they got here, we were in lockdown. Talk about a trial by fire! We hadn’t lived together for over a year, and now, we were living together constantly. It has its challenges, but we’re both still alive. Again, want some help with a similar situation, hit me up!
Health and wellness has been a challenge. Our household has a joyous array of mental issues to deal with that have been draining motivation. We’ve gained weight, gotten sluggish, and just….ugh. Comfort food and boredom eating have gotten the best of us. Now we’re jumpstarting things by joining Juneathon again, and I’ll be blogging about that, so watch this space!
