Trying my best to learn how to do the online thing. My imposter syndrome, and my cognitive dysfunction are not helping - even though this is stuff I'm good at & enjoy doing! 😭 How do I get past the self doubt?

Good morning from the cat who loves grow lights. 🩷

Living in an RV in Oklahoma during storm season is fun. 😵‍💫 I'm already in a longcovid crash. I don't need the stress of tornadoes this week. 😭

I managed to get a photo or two with my oldest son today. I am still in a crash, so I did not have the energy to see all 5 of my kids today, but I was able to see two of them briefly before I was too tired. #mothersday

Miles was so cute last night, all curled up on my fluffy pillow shelf. 😻😻😻 #cats

I gave Gladys a new shirt today, took down my metal wire shelves and put up a wood shelf that my husband made for me. Now it's time to sort through all the stuff from the shelves and the medicine cabinet so I can thin things down & organize!

Good morning! Working on my room today. #decor

Yesterday was a very low energy, must rest kind of day. Bean bean was more than happy to be my companion. He is such a good emotional support baby! He always seems to know when I'm not feeling good. 😻😭😻😭😻😭 Longcovid - I'm getting better, but still struggling.

I love my cozy room. I love watching the cats play on the branches and the shelves on the wall. Kitten is looking down at me because he can tell that I'm getting into the treat box. 😻 #cats

Treat time looks a little vicious today! Kitten knows what she wants. 🤣

RV life with cats is so entertaining. #cats

I have mice in my walls. Do those electronic rodent repeller things actually work? Because this is starting to affect my sleep. My cats climb over me, climb over my head, trying to catch the mice in the walls. 😵‍💫🤢😨 Thank goodness for my #cats

Morning nausea. #mmj

I'm having a WEIRD health symptom. (Longcovid???)

My throat, under my jawline, and the top of my scalp feel *bruised* and incredibly tender.

There is nothing visible.

It feels sore to the touch, but also feels sore if I stretch in any kind of way.

The top of my scalp also feels bruised.

She's still sensitive. Will lash out at anyone she's not completely comfortable with. But she still making improvements.

The biggest external things that helped:

Cat TV on YouTube. This calmed her so much, so immediately, we were blown away.

Calming collars. We use the gray ones.

I remember feeling almost thankful for being sick, because I all I had the energy to do was sit/lay down. For months.

I put her cat bed on my desk. I sat there and did art, or planting, or sat in my recliner with her next to me. Still took 6 mos for her to trust me enough to reach out to me.

Happy Caturday! We have had this girl for 5 years (in a couple of months).

Our son lived with us at the time, and rescued this cat. I was still down with my first crash of Longcovid.

As it turns out, this cat was seriously abused. It literally took 6 months before we could touch her.

Legos at Grandma's! I used to keep my oldest 2 grandkids for a day every week, we would make dinner for the whole family, and then have a whole family game night.

Since longcovid, I can only do short visits, so I'm very thankful that my granddaughter lives in the same campground as me! #pwme

Did I mention I've started to add some more greenery to my room? They're all straight right now, because I'm just trying to make sure my adhesive hook stay. Then I'm going to make it a little bit more natural looking when the rest of my plants get here. 😍 It's so COZY! #whimsical
March 20, 2025 at 2:02 PM
Spent the afternoon sorting through a couple of my tubs of Legos with one of my kids. 😍 We sat and sorted by color for 2 1/2 hours! Time to get the next batch from storage! 😅 #momlife

What is happening? Am I actually... Better?
*Weekly visits to the chiro.*
*At least 15-20 minutes of exercise a day.
*Weekly trips to storage where I'm lifting & moving things for 3 hours
And yet - no crash. 🤯🤯🤯
This it's a 1st in 5 YEARS since covid. Longcovid - healing???

I managed to do 5 minutes of mobility work today. In spite of the lack of space.

Cleaning out a storage space, when you live in a 36 ft RV is a challenge. 😅

Exercise is a challenge when you have longcovid & chronic pain.

But I'm making it happen. Carefully.

Spent the morning at my daughter's house with some of my kids & grandkids.🥰 We used to have family nights weekly, before COVID. We haven't been able to find our groove for family nights since then. It's been more like once a month, if that. I think this is our new routine! #family

I obviously have no idea what I'm doing. I finally got somebody to start a hobby filming things. But this bitch took the video camera from the bedroom into the bathroom and is videotaping the wall? The mirror? Maybe she's videotaping herself old school style? 😅 #sims
