I haven’t given a life update for a while. Well, not here anyway. If you follow me on TikTok, you know what’s going on, but I wanted to let everyone else know, too.
I’ve been at my job for six months now and it’s going really well. I was just offered a promotion and a raise. I love the people I work with and the environment is great.
I’ve been in my new place for 4 months now. There are still things in boxes, but progress is being made. It’s just hard to do it all by myself with three kids, so it’s taking a while. The kids like it, it’s close to work and their schools, and we’re happy here.
I still don’t know what’s going on with my health. I’m not sure if my POTS is getting worse, or if it’s something else. The doctors can’t seem to figure it out either. I went from 7 meds to 4 and I’m weening off another one. I got a referral to a functional medicine doctor that takes my insurance, so hopefully I can get some answers.
Tristan is doing great in school and is on track to graduate a year early. He really struggled in elementary and junior high, so to watch him thrive in high school has made my mama heart so proud. His friends have started calling me mom and I don’t mind. I always wanted to be that mom that provides a safe space for my kids’ friends and it seems that I’ve achieved that goal.
Breya is thriving! She got 4th place in her school’s spelling bee, she had a solo in her last choir performance and she is going to be in the school play this year. She is kind yet sassy and always stands up for the underdog. She has a heart of gold and I’m beyond proud of her.
Scarlett is doing great in preschool. She isn’t supposed to start kindergarten until 2026, but I might check if they are willing to test her to see if she’s ready to go this year. She is brilliant and sweet, and still the biggest mama’s girl. She always wants cuddles and I’m happy to give them to her.
Everything is going well, but I’ve been feeling lonely lately. With my health issues, all my energy has been going into work and my family. I want to go out and socialize. I’m just so tired and depleted all the time. Doing all this alone is hard, but I keep doing the thing.
Even if I can’t go out as much as I want, I still appreciate check in texts and phone calls. They mean a lot. I’m still here. I still care. I’m just sick and tired all the time. Please don’t take it personally.
That’s all. I love you guys. ❤️🩹
