It only took me a year since we got new phones with new service at our new home, but I finally figured out how to get back into this account. Anyone miss me? 😂

Say it, @LalahDelia! There’s nothing more powerful than learning to love others with respect, integrity, and authenticity to the love you grow and nurture for your own self 💗
You can love people
without allowing them
to be a distraction to
your path. Say no when
you have to. Speak up
when you have to.
Let go if you have to.
Set boundaries where
you have to.
This too, is self-care
and wellness work.

Tomorrow, my 77-year-old dad goes in for his first major surgery in at least as many years as I’ve been alive (43). I admit it—I’m nervous. I pray he makes it through beautifully. I’m not used to facing my parents’ mortality, but I’ll have to more and more in the years ahead 😥

Ah...the sweet, sweet feeling of finally clicking the photo of a house on @zillow and knowing that when it reads “under contract,” it means by you and your hubs. 🙏🏽 🏡 #homesweethome #homeownerstobe #homeownership #AdultingAndStuff

I’m about to head to the dr to get the broken-off head of a tick removed from just above my nipple. I know there’s joke in this somewhere, but words are failing me right now 🤣 #TMI #buggedout

Married in My 40s retweeted
Dear people who don't think they can identify as disabled:
Maybe you have pain or anxiety or sleep issues or some other disability. Maybe you were told that "you're fine" or to "just deal with it."
I'm telling you that you're allowed to call yourself disabled. 1/5
One of *the worst* feelings is being awakened by the migraine that started the day before. I did not miss these days of living with my head in a storm cloud.
After 43 yrs of professional insomnolence and 9 years of observing my hypersomnolent husband, I am *finally* starting to get the hang of sleep. Don’t give up hope @EinFlats. 🙏🏽
I am nearly 37 years old. My body has had more than 13,000 opportunities to practice getting a good night's sleep. How can it still be this bad at it? 😫

Absolutely @kelly_hfx. I’ve been noticing this a lot with physical health lately. When one body system is stressed, it doesn’t take much to trigger other systems to fritz out too.

Please tell me I’m not the only woman in her 40s who refuses to throw away that one shirt meant for a middle schooler just because #noIwontdressmyage

So, apparently @UPS will no longer deliver packages when it’s raining outside? #thingsthatmakeyougohmmm
#TFW Your ex messages you, after years of silence, to say that one of your cats together is on his last legs and needs to be put down 😿
Yes, the distraction, apathy, depression are making it so hard to focus on just about anything, but I press on! @According2Jewls

With my being housebound this past year and Warrior Poet working from home the last few years, it’s almost business as usual. Though everyone needs breathing space sometimes, there’s no one I’d rather be holed up alone with. #InSicknessAndInHealth
#TFW You know you have too many clothes when it takes you weeks to find a favored shirt in your dresser drawer 🙄

There are few things lonelier than having exorcist-like fits of #dystonia when the hubby is home, but not around. #LonelyNight
