Missed Me?

Hi Boys and Girls!  No, I'm not dead. My blog was, though!  For those of you who are wondering, YES, I am still a Realtor. YES, I can help you with your questions and purchases and sales. :)

The reason my blog has been quiet for so long is that I have been having some health issues. As many of my family, friends and clients know, I have been struggling with chronic pain for many years. Lately it has worsened and made it very difficult to keep working. Despite my best efforts, the pain has forced me to stop driving as much, medication makes me dopey and foggy headed and forgetful. I sleep worse than a parent of a newborn baby.  I tracked my sleep pattern with a FitBit one night. It says I woke up 28 times. And that was one of my "good" nights. Ugh.  So I am freakin' exhausted a lot of the time.


Right now I'm not able to work. I keep getting little waves of hope that I'm getting well enough to show some houses, but then WHAM!!  Knife pains to the spine. So horribly frustrating. After 10 years of this, I'm starting to get a bit angry that our healthcare system isn't helping me more than it has. 3 years to get a consultation with a surgeon?? Seriously???

Anyway, I digress. My journey with chronic pain has been lengthy, and the details even longer to tell. Not the venue for that. I am thinking of starting a separate blog. A place to get things off my chest and share that story.

I just wanted to update my blog to let you all know what it going on. Still a Realtor. Not really able to do much right now physically, but always able to answer questions and help you out, even if it's just to refer you to a fellow awesome sauce Realtor. And I am hoping that the rough patch I'm in will improve soon due to some big steps I'm taking. And that then I will be back to work and Realtor-ing up a storm again! :)


Soon. I hope.



A friend of mine nudged me recently, and my hubby Phil has been nudging me for 2 years, to resussitate my blog. So here's the first breath. Let's hope I can keep it breathing!
