Happy New Year!

I know I have been MIA again, and I am sorry. Truly. But we ended up having to do a quick, last-minute emergency move because mold was found in our condo. Not cool at all, I will tell you that.

Michael, myself, and the two boys had to do everything ourselves, and somehow we managed to move in just under four days. Oh wow. Can I just say… moving stinks. It is exhausting in every possible way.

Thankfully, we got lucky this time around. We found a house with an extra room, and it is even a little cheaper than our previous place. After the chaos of an emergency move, that part feels like a huge win.

It has also been unusually chilly here in Florida the past few days, and my body is not handling it well. My joint pain came back full force, and now both shoulders are hurting too. The timing could not be worse.

The good news is that I finally have a primary care physician here in Florida. She has already referred me to a new rheumatologist, so I am hopeful that I might finally get some answers this time.

And now for my New Year’s goal, spoken out loud so I cannot pretend I never said it.

I am going to try to write every single day this year.

No promises that it will be perfect. No guarantees that I will not miss a day here and there. But I am committing to showing up, writing through the chaos, and sharing life as it really is.

Fingers crossed. Laughing already.

Here is to fresh starts, unexpected challenges, and continuing to tell our stories, even when life gets messy.
