Kisses for Consistency

Consistency is hard, y’all. One of my goals this year is to keep this blog going strong. I set a schedule—new posts every Wednesday with a bonus post on Saturdays—and let me tell you, this Wednesday almost didn’t happen.

I’ve been under the weather. Monday, I actually had to call out of work. I tried going back Tuesday, but my body wasn’t having it. By the end of the day, I called my PCP and got a same-day appointment. Turns out, I’ve been dealing with migraines. She prescribed me something and told me to stay home today, but I thought, I can push through. Big mistake.

I went to work, popped a pill, and—like the smart person I am—didn’t read the side effects. Imagine my surprise when I started feeling dizzy, lightheaded, and at one point, I swear my elbow felt nonexistent. (I know, that sounds wild, but it’s true.)

Of course, I wanted to leave, but someone at work told me to stay because an administrator wanted to see me. That stung. Here I am, clearly unwell, with people trying to pack me up and send me home, and yet I was told to stick around. It made me question whether my well-being was even being considered.

Eventually, I made it home, cooked dinner, and now here I am—tired, head still aching a little, and just wanting to curl up in bed. But I’m writing this post anyway. Because I promised myself I’d show up, even when it’s hard. Especially when it’s hard.

Truth is, I don’t have much planned this week except focusing on getting better. I need to build a workout routine to strengthen my knee, help with my feet, and hopefully knock out these headaches. I know it’s all connected somehow—mind, body, health.

I may not have it all figured out, but I’m trying. I’m pushing through. I’m choosing consistency, even on the tough days.

So here we are. A little raw, a little tired, but still showing up.

Kisses for consistency.Good night, sugar pops. 💋

And as I’m about to click Publish on this post, here comes my daughter asking me to clean her son’s ears because her nails are too pointy…smh. Oh, and tomorrow’s my grandpup’s birthday! 🥳💙
