Well… this week didn’t exactly go as planned.
I ended up taking my mom to the emergency room, and she was admitted to the hospital. If you’ve ever sat in one of those waiting rooms, you know it’s a whole experience in itself—long hours, lots of unknowns, and plenty of deep breaths in between.
Somewhere along the way, I managed to pick up a little “souvenir”… a cold, COVID, or something in between. Whatever it is, it has officially claimed my voice, my energy, and any chance of me being even remotely presentable on camera. Trust me—you do not want a tutorial featuring sniffles, coughs, and a voice that sounds like I swallowed gravel.
So as much as I hate to say it, there won’t be any videos this week, no craft day, and no Saturday night live with Doug. And that part really gets me. I look forward to that time with you all more than I can say—it’s one of my favorite parts of the week.
But let’s be honest… if I showed up like this, it would turn into a whole different kind of show. Less “creative fun” and more “guess how many tissues I go through in 10 minutes.” 😄
All joking aside, I’m definitely disappointed. I miss creating, I miss chatting with you, and I miss our time together. But for now, I’m leaning into rest, taking care of myself, and trusting that I’ll be back soon—hopefully with a clear voice and a much smaller tissue pile.
Thank you for being here, for understanding, and for giving me the space to pause when I need it. It means more than you know.
I’ll be back before long… and I promise, with far less sniffles. 🤍
