A new year so you get a new STORY TIMEEEE!!! I'll tell this story backwards. For the first part of the day yesterday I was in the emergency room at Memorial Hermann hospital. So. If you texted me yesterday, just know I was responding from the hospital 🥴. So yea, there's that. Let's retrack our steps....how'd we get here you ask? Ok funny story, the last week of 2024 I looked at my husband after we had finished doing our end of the year financial planning meetings for our businesses (he is a business owner too) and I made a joke saying "well at least I didn't have any mental breakdowns this year!!" (if you're a business owner, you know this is common especially among female business owners who are moms of small children, people just rarely talk about it on here) and well, up until that point...I hadn't had one. After completing a successful business year and being relatively close to hitting my financial goal for 2024, after having back to back Weddings every weekend in November and a large production wedding in December on top of all of the other beautiful events we successfully curated earlier in the year, I had done it all without any distress....the whole year.....so I thought! Girl BYEEE, soon as January 2 hit, my body said "S**E!!!! we are about to shut down on youuuuu 😭" I began feeling tired after cooking a large Thanksgiving dinner, then powered through the month. Christmas comes, we execute a large production wedding and boom I'm back cooking again for Christmas, on top of being sure to create Christmas magic for the kids and do all the Christmas-y things in the city you can think of.... I just felt extremely tired, like more than before. Like pregnancy type of tired but the devil is a lie so I knew THAT wasn't it. I just attempted to rest after Christmas. All I managed to do was fold some towels and that was all I had energy to do. Then boom, wake up January 2nd and heavy pain in my chest, with pressure. Thought it would go away but a day later it said "in the club, we all fam!". After numerous tests, blood work, CT scan, the verdict was.....GIRL SIT YOUR TAIL DOWN SOMEWHERE!!!!! Therefore, all January I will be taking it easy + resting.
