Well, I overdid it and now I’m paying dearly for it. I tried to jump back into everything all at once now I’m having a pretty major flare up.

I still don’t completely understand what my sciatica diagnosis means.. will it do this forever, or once every few years or just be a freak thing that plagued me for 6 months of my life?

I suppose they don’t really know either. I feel silly complaining because quite obviously it could be worse, but I can’t pretend this hasn’t been the most painful thing I’ve ever experienced, because it has.

Anyway, I’m trying to take it easy. I do a little and then rest my back. It’s also so strange how a lower back issue can only hurt through your hip and leg. My back rarely hurts at all, but it feels like my calf, hip and ankle are broken and on fire at the same time.

It is what it is. Lots of books are coming, and I’m just trying to take this time to pray, meditate and read my Bible study.

Gary, as always, is precious. He brought me these flowers today.

Aren’t they pretty? He said he knew I’d like that orange vase, and I certainly do! He is the sweetest man. 🤍

He also bought picked me up some Cirkul Fitsips because I love them. Do any of you guys do the Cirkul drinks? We are hooked!! Gary has a big stainless one and the kids and I have the clear ones. I’m gonna order me a stainless one tonight I think.

The kids get a box of the Stevia Alligator Apple, Gecko Grape and Parrot Punch. Gary likes the Lemonade Squeeze and I get the FitSip with extra B12 in Wild Cherry and Strawberry Banana. We just love them!

I’ve never drank this much water. I absolutely love my Cirkul. I’ll have to show you what bottle I choose. I really do need a stainless one so my ice isn’t melting all the time. The kids have to have clear bottles so there’s are good. Just thought I’d share bc it’s cheaper than buying drinks non stop and better for them.

Anyway, that’s all the news I have. I hope everyone is doing well. 🤍
