Keeping You Posted

Some information on SHERO's upcoming schedule for this week...

Good morning everyone and Happy Tuesday! I wanted to send you a quick message to let you know that I will be taking this week off from the SHERO newsletter and Twitter. (Sidebar: you know things are intense when I am not on the Tweeter.) I need to travel home to take care of my mother, who is having outpatient surgery and who will be FINE — she just needs me. My new kitten Poe and I will be headed home to get some much-needed family time, especially after Christmas was canceled.

I am also still struggling with significant Covid long-hauler symptoms, including this insane fatigue that makes me feel useless. I set my plan on Sunday, which was to do a full week, get prepared to travel, travel, and take care of things at home. After needing to sleep for fifteen hours last night, I have just realized I simply can’t do it. I’m trying not to beat myself up, but I’m crying as I write this. I have always had to push myself harder so I am used to that — the fear of taking your foot off of the gas pedal and applying the brake, as a woman, is palpable.

I will be doing my SHERO podcast on Friday, possibly from the surgical center, which could be especially fun if I can get my mom on while she is heavily drugged. (This is a joke, I would never do that... or would I?) I hope you will download the Callin app here and consider calling in to talk to me, I would love to hear from you. I would also love to hear your comments below, especially from anyone who is experiencing the long-term side effects of Covid. I think we forget about how many of us are struggling as we maneuver through our own obstacle course of recovering and it might help someone else who is reading this.

I apologize, I hope you understand, and I can’t thank you enough for your ongoing support, which keeps me going a lot these days. See you next week when I hope to resume a full schedule.
