Buckle Up, Besties… It’s Gonna Be a Week
Whew. Y’all, we’ve got ourselves a busy week ahead. Pack the bags, load the snacks, and say a prayer for my sanity—we’re heading back to Kentucky. This weekend is Jimmy’s memorial service. Part of me wants to go with all my heart, because honoring my big brother is the least I can do. But the other part […]
Y’all, I Cannot Stay Well!
My gosh, guys. I cannot stay well to save my life! I don’t know what in Hades is going on with me, but first it was that week of pure exhaustion and a headache that made me want to just crawl into the couch cushions and never come out. Then, just when I thought I […]
Long Days, Heavy Bags, and a Little Bit of Relief
I know…it’s been a couple of days. And whew, let me tell you—it’s been a rough couple of days at that. Let’s rewind back to Friday. At 6:30 a.m., bright-eyed and not-so-bushy-tailed, I walked into Moffitt Cancer Center for my 210-minute Dextran iron infusion. That’s three and a half hours, folks, but spoiler alert—it turned into seven […]
Hematology Appointment: Finally, Somebody’s Trying to Fix Me
Well, folks, the hematology appointment was actually a success. Can I get an amen? At least somebody is finally going to try and fix whatever my 44-year-old body thinks it’s doing pretending to be 70. I’ll be getting my very first—and Lord willing, my only—210-minute iron infusion in the next couple of days. They even had an opening […]
First News on the Chopping Block: I Opened a TikTok Shop
Big announcement, friends—I have officially opened a TikTok Shop! That’s right, Simply Sina has gone retail, and I’m filling it with all my personally designed t-shirts. You’ll find goodies from: Oh, and because I love you (and because I’m just that extra), I’ve also added some holiday shirts that I designed myself. Cute, festive, and ready for […]
Stuck Between a Couch and a Hard Place
This past week has been brutal. For six days straight, I’ve had the worst headache and fatigue of my life. The pain settles right at the base of my skull, and anytime I try to get up and move around, the dizziness kicks in and I feel like I can’t catch my breath. I wish […]
ROADTRIP!
Ohhhh, the dreaded drive. I was really not planning on doing this so soon, but here we are—packing up snacks, pillows, and enough caffeine to keep a truck stop in business—because we’re about to make the 14+ hour trek back to good ole Bardstown. And let me stop you right there: no, this is not a vacation. […]
Here I Go Again…
Lord have mercy, y’all. If doctor’s visits were a punch card, I’d have earned myself a free sub sandwich by now. I just cannot catch a break! So here’s the latest episode of “What’s Wrong With Sina Today?” Since my colonoscopy and EGD came back looking squeaky clean, my next stop was the gynecologist. Now, […]
Day Four: Toes, Blisters, and a Whole Lotta Steps
Day four of the 2025–2026 school year, and let me tell y’all something right now… if I keep this up, I’m going to be in the best shape of my life. Seriously. But my toes? Oh, bless ‘em. My pinky toes have always been drama queens—no matter what shoes I wear, they’re bound to throw […]
Early Bird… Me? Apparently, Yes.
As painful as it is for me to admit this out loud, I think I’m actually one of those get-up-at-5 am people. I know. Who am I? What have I become? But here’s the thing… it’s only been two days, and I’ve been more productive, in a better mood, and — shocker — not even tired like […]
