Greetings! I’m thrilled to welcome you to my revamped blog. After a brief hiatus due to health issues, I’m back with a fresh perspective and a renewed passion for sharing my journey with you. So, sit back, relax, and let me take you on a tour of my life.

A Glimpse of My Life:

• I’m 47 years old
• I’ve been in a common-law relationship for 27 years
• I share my home with two adorable cats, Charlie and Mister
• I reside in the beautiful province of Alberta, Canada
• I’m on permanent disability from work and receive support from CPPD

Health has been a significant part of my journey, with several diagnoses shaping my path. From Joint Hypermobility Syndrome at 16 to Fibromyalgia and Chronic Migraine Disease at 20, the journey has been challenging. In my 30s, clinical depression, asthma, and hypothyroidism added to the mix. In my mid-40s, chronic vertigo and balance issues emerged, and just recently, in July 2024, I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (MS).

Meet My Feline Companions:

Let me introduce you to my lovely cats, Mister (5) and Charlie (15). Mister, a recent rescue, is a bit shy but is slowly warming up to human interactions. Progress may be slow, but it’s heartwarming to see him grow more comfortable each day.

• My career background is in banking
• I hold an M.A. in Philosophy, although pursuing a PhD wasn’t feasible due to health challenges
• I identify as an introvert (INFJ) and find solace in reading, writing, and art

The past few years have been tumultuous, especially with the recent MS diagnosis. Managing extreme fatigue and hand pain while coping with other health issues like drop foot has been a daily struggle. Despite the challenges, I strive to find moments of peace through my interests and endeavors.
