Hey Everybody! I’m here! Woo hoo

I have no idea what I am doing, it took me YEARS to figure out YouTube, and I only know, like .0001% of it. It has been a STRUGGLE figuring out this platform, and I am sorry for complaining about it. I know it’ll take some time, but I am a terribly impatient soul and I want to know everything NOW!!!

This image below that I hope I successfully posted was taken by my husband on our 16th anniversary, and it’s probably my favorite picture of myself because he captured who I am so beautifully.

I am a loud wisecracking gal, I love to laugh, I love to give generously, however, I really don’t put up with people’s crap if they keep doing it, which is why I am here and leaving the swamp that is YouTube.

Next month is a big birthday for me, I will be 50 years old! Wow! I have been telling everyone how excited I am, which I would imagine seems kinda mystifying, I mean, why I am happy about being closer to death?!

But I guess for me, I feel just right as I am right now.

I feel as though I have been preparing for this time, for what, I don’t know.

When I was 30, I got really sick and still haven’t recovered 20 years later.

I sleep a lot.

Sometimes I feel as though I could outsleep Rumplestilskin! Did I spell that right?

But I managed to meet someone who’s willing to put up with my crap, and I can deal with his crap, so really, who could ask for more?

The truth is that he is the love of my life, a traumatic childhood stamped out any real faith that I might meet someone who would treat me with love and respect. How wonderfully wrong I was.

I am also working towards becoming vegan, and I hope to share how that is going.

I also love beauty and fashion, so there’ll be some of that.

I love home decor, I love dogs and kinda sorta cats, I have both. They are my heartbeat, even the cat.

I hope to share all the things I have learned about coping with a chronic illness.

The way I love to describe being chronically sick is that it is the irritating road of self-discovery through chronic illness.

I am basically a type A person stuck inside of a 40 year old pot smoking slacker who still lives in his mother’s basement.

This is the best of social media, bringing people together who are like me, stuck living in the four walls of their bedroom, in their home, feeling lonely and looking for connection. So, here I am, looking to meet you, hoping we can learn from each other, and grateful that we can do this in a safer environment.

I look forward to meeting you!!!!
