A Few Thoughts, Updates, School Achievements, And So Much More… Today On “I’m Probably Overthinking This…”

Don’t mind my humor, really. 🤣 I’m a dork and, well, sometimes it does feel like a reality show!

I mean, it is reality. I’m one camera and a snarky director away…

Sketchual Healing: The Business

---

I haven’t written much lately because I am trying to amp up the Sketchual Healing Shop while simultaneously juggling a heavy school load and chronic illness flares.

Life has even slowed my mindful self-care art progress down to a crawl! I’ve been working on this coloring page for multiple weeks now.

Chronic Illness Chatter

---

The thyroid medication did the trick. My TSH is where it should be, and I have fewer flares. They still crop up in stressful moments or during PMS. Think PMS on steroids.

There is nothing like unbridled internal rage without cause. 😒 I’m looking at you, Angela, and your meltdowns over tone of voice or minor actions.

Seriously, lady. Calm down, okay?!

It feels like I am re-learning all of my emotional regulation skills after memory loss. Except now I am learning how to implement them on the fly because my emotional reactions feel bipolar during flares.

My BiPAP is home, and I have been using it regularly. I love the darn thing. I wake up feeling 100x more refreshed. I am grateful I finally have this. I can feel a difference. I have a sensation of my throat closing up while I lie down without it. I can feel the difference in how I breathe before I drift off with it.

Proud Phoenix And Induction Into The NSLS

---

I am not only inducted, but I am also working on the credit/certification courses. University of Phoenix accepts transfer credits, so that means I will finish school in March instead of May! Honestly, Advanced Leadership and Executive Leadership certifications would also help expand my business comprehension and skills.

In just four short weeks, I also start taking gateway MBA courses to finish my Bachelor’s degree. It also knocks out two courses from the MBA program. It cuts down on time and cost. 🎉

What a win all its own.

Also, yes, I am already approved to start the MBA program following completion of my Bachelor of Science in Business.

I’m Stretched A Little Thin

---

I’m working really hard on myself, and it is a bit exhausting. I’m doubly busy with school because I am working on my leadership courses and college courses simultaneously. That is time and effort that doesn’t go elsewhere.

… plus packing to move.

My partner in love and life has bought us a home. The mortgage was approved, and we will close either Friday or the beginning of next week. It is a big deal, but that is another layer of busy, too.

Moving isn’t for the faint of heart.

Until next time, have an amazing day, and may your self-care be as fulfilling as the coffee you drink. ♡
