Wow. It's been awhile.
My last post was shortly after my return from my 2020 retreat to the Caribbean. And here we are, more than four years later, and what a ride it's been.
My doctor and I are both pretty sure that I contracted COVID-19 in the Panama International Airport on my way home from Costa Rica in March 2020. I was sick as a dog, keeping myself out of the hospital with steroids and inhalers, and finally crawling out of bed about three weeks later. Since then, I've dealt with a super scary blood pressure spike (now back to normal), extreme fatigue, and other nonsense that continues to this day.
As part of the Mayo Clinic's study on long-COVID, I've learned a lot about this virus and what it can do to people. My life has definitely changed...
I gained a lot of weight, consumed a lot of tequila, lost a lot of weight, and still consume a lot of tequila.
I volunteered for several organizations, modmin'd a bunch of Facebook groups, and went to dozens and dozens of doctor & therapist appointments. I learned a lot about myself and the world around me, and decided to resign from as many things as possible as I find my way back to the strong, confident, active woman I used to be.
The Crones Project, remains important to my heart & soul... it's one of those things that feeds vs. drains ye olde internal battery pack.
I have lots of photos & stories to share, so many fascinating elder women to meet, and more solo travel to do with my shiny tiny home, "The Crone Zone."
Please stay tuned.
