Well folks, itās 8:30 AM and Iāve already lived a whole lifetime. Downstairs? Clean. Kids? Fed. One shipped off to school. The other? About to be escorted to the gates of education by yours truly in just a few minutes. Meanwhile, my bathroom looks like a crime scene the cleaning crew forgot, but we donāt talk about that right now.
Ohāand did I mention we”re hosting a three-ring circus of repair people this morning? Yep, we booked ourselves a little variety show. Coming soon to a front porch near you:
- Roof guyĀ ā here to tell us whether our ceiling is planning a surprise water feature.
- House AC guyĀ ā because apparently, my upstairs carpet really needed its own swamp.
- Car AC guyĀ ā finally swooping in to save me from Florida death-by-humidity.
Listen, Iām a windows-down girl at heart, but letās get realāthereās a difference between breezy and walking through soup. Florida humidity has me feeling like a soggy Pop-Tart by the time I walk Quincy to school.
Speaking of walks, between Carsonās daily bus stop trek and Quincyās back-and-forth marches, I feel like I should get credit for training for the Disney Marathon. Except instead of Mickey cheering me on, itās just my neighbor giving me a pity wave as I pant up the sidewalk.
But letās talk about this iron drama. Because honey, if I donāt get this figured out soon, the only thing Iāll be good for is professional napping. Headaches, fatigue, exhaustionāyou name it, Iāve got it. My gynecologist had the audacity to say Iām āprobably used to it by now.ā Maāam, I am not āused to it.ā Iām barely used to being 44, and suddenly my body is pulling stunts like itās auditioning for a medical drama.
Bottom line: my to-do list is way too long for me to be horizontal 23 hours a day. So yes, hematologist, you are next on my dance card.
And before I head out the door to wrangle kids and repairmen like Iām running a bootleg summer campāfriendly reminder: go check out my TikTok Shop! šš» Get yourself a cute Halloween/Fall shirt or sweatshirt.
