Have you ever felt like you needed a total reboot? I have come to realize that I am at that place at the moment. Somehow over the past few years I’ve gotten out of sync with myself. Tom and I have had some uninvited changes in our lives over this time period and I need to do a better job of taking care of things.
A lot of this has to do with Tom’s health. You may remember a couple of years ago he had a bad case of the flu. I wrote about it here. He has physically been a different person since then and seems to continue to get worse or at best no better. This had been over two years. Even though he tested positive for the flu at the time, the doctors now think he may have had one of the early cases of Covid. At that time, they did not even have Covid tests much less know much about treating it. He had recently been to a woodworking convention where he had contact with people from all over the U.S. increasing his chances of catching what we didn’t even know was going around at the time. They now think much of his current condition could be related to him being sick then and his previously existing health conditions have been made much worse because of it. Among other things, the neuropathy in his feet has advanced to the point that it is difficult for him to walk even with a cane. He also has neuropathy in his hands now which reduces his fine motor skills. Over this time I’ve worked hard at helping him to accept and deal with his physical changes but I only recently realized that I had not fully accepted all the changes and the many ways they have changed our lives. Of course, I have taken care of him and helped him in every possible way as well as taking care of everything around the house, yard, and such. But I have also fallen behind on many things that need to be done.
I don’t mean to sound
like I’m whining or complaining. I’m
just honestly sharing some situations that I’ve come to realize I need to get a
better handle on. Because of all this, I’ve decided I need to take a blog break for a while. I have not been doing the greatest job of
blogging anyway. I am hoping if I take
some time to deal with things around here, I will then be able to come back and
put more energy into blogging. I’m
definitely not leaving all my friends!
I’ll still be reading your blogs but I may not be commenting as often
for now. If any of you want to get hold
of me you are welcome to email to the address on my profile.
Thank you all for your wonderful friendships. You definitely improve my life by being in
it! 💗
