I realize that in order to build an audience, I have to write regularly. I try, but then life gets in the way.
First, an update to my last post. My aunt passed away in March of 2023. Her memorial was in May. I was able to go back to Wisconsin for it. It was nice to see everyone again. I wish it had been under happier circumstances.
I also inherited a lot of money, which shocked me. I was not expecting it. I have plans for this money. I’ve already paid off debt. Next is to do something fun. That fun will happen next year when Mr. PrairieChzHead and I go to London, UK. I can’t wait because going to the UK is a bucket list thing.
Second, my job changed. I no longer work day services. I am back in residential. They changed up the schedule so now I work 3-12 hour shifts and get four days off. Plenty of time to write.
Third, I’ve been struggling with my ADHD. I was diagnosed with ADHD when I was 40. Things I thought might be depression may actually be ADHD symptoms. I am on meds for it, but I think I need to up the dosage.
Fourth, I’ve been struggling with vertigo. It is actually positional vertigo. I went last week for physical therapy, and I was basically one and done. The PT was brutal. They make you lay in a position that makes you even more dizzy than you normally experience. I thought I was going to throw up.
Fifth, I’ve been struggling with my weight. I will probably write more about it at a later time. I’m working with a doctor and a dietician to develop good habits and lose all of this menopause weight I gained.
So that’s it for now. I will try and write regularly; that is, if I can peel myself away from TikTok.
