I know this is a L O N G thread about my journey towards returning to work.
And I thank each and everyone of you for your encouragement along the way. Thank you, thank you, thank you .
I finally have the support of family, friends, and long lost customers. I advocate, educate along the way. Words alone will NOT make a difference. In order to make a difference in MINDS. . . they must SEE the proof, in your EYES, your HEART, FACE to FACE, as one struggling human being to another. In other words, the human connection, which is so hard to convene with such an isolating disease.
I thank God for the fighting spirit, I thank my LLMD for getting me to this point where I could even consider going back to work, and I thank Lyment for being there every step of the way.
I cannot support myself at this time. But I have had glimmers of what once was, and maybe can be again. A sweet gift. Wanting more, unfinished buisness.
Regardless of outcome, which in essence we really have no control of, within our own means, if we can tell our tale, a remarkable tale that it is, people will listen. They will listen. It is first-hand account from someone that will not not lie to them, they trust us because we are a trusted soul. We matter to them. This is where our strength lies.
Advocate, educate, until your dying breathe, my friends. So that the next warrior lives a better life than us. Keep fighting and NEVER give up ! 💚

How much water and how much tea tree oil?
Our basement smells musty and I'd like to try it.
Yes MannaMe! It has really helped us to do this. you go through a lot of oil a couple of times (we did) but its worth it.
we run 2 dehumidifiers in our basement- one on each end. I only did the slowcookers about 7n times. there is an actual plan to doing that if anyone wants to PM me.
I have the directinos somewhere and I can look it up. I didn't follow the plan exatly because my brain forgets so much, but I got the idea from an article about a man that couldn't even walk or do much that researched and got well just from detoxing
himself and his house from mold. also did the foot baths- and they give instructions for that too.
I have also taken white vinigar and/or teatree oil and sprayed it direct on the mulch outside our windows because my husband had gotten
the free mulch from the township and it was very moldy.

Working 1 night a week. With 2 herniated discs and a festering TBI illness. On the brighter side. . .
This really handsome blue-eyed man always comes in and I always ask him his name and he always says I always ask him his name and he always tells me his name is Jim and I always tell him I will never remember such a hard name.

Are you dreaming about blue eyed man named ???
Maybe since you've written about this blue eyed man, you will remember Tim. Too funny.
