A Near Week into 2020....

Hello my Steemian friends.

I hope your new year has been off to a better start than mine!

So the very first day of this year I started running a 103 degree temp. Not only does that just suck in general, but as many of you know, I am already immunocompromised with my MS, so to say I was in rough shape this last week is the understatement of the decade. (Ya know, since like we are only 5 days into the new decade? Heh? I'm funny damnit.)

So what I hoped would last a day or two has continued to plague me even through today. It is kind of hard to look glamorous, sing or act when you can barely move and your legs are weaker than they usually are when you are staring at firemen grocery shop in your local Fry's.

Needless to say, 2020 has SUCKED so far.

However, not all was lost, as I kept my promises.

I got up every morning and put on makeup, did my hair and wore something pretty, even if it was just a cotton nightgown. Believe it or not, while this didn't improve my flu symptoms, it did make me feel a little better in general.

I continued posting to Instagram, and managed to get through what I (think at least) was the worst of everything. I may have dodged the relapse bullet but I still won't know for a couple weeks. I can't imagine days of high temps did too much good for my central nervous system...but I was bound to stay out of the hospital. The longer I can go without needing IV steroids, the better.

One neato thing that I tried out was pincurls! The one morning that I was feeling good, I did my hair and makeup and it took ages to curl my hair! I realized I could get it all pinned up before bed in less than 30 minutes, so I tried it and it worked!! I had beautiful curls the next morning!

(BOOM. Curls.)

This was a pretty awesome revelation.

After nearly a week I still feel like garbage, but I don't look like garbage and that's gotta be good for something!

While I laid in bed, I had a lot of time to think, and I realized that crypto is a way bigger part of my life than I realized. It's weird how little I still know but that somehow I am the "go-to gal" with all my friends who want to understand crypto better. I will have you know I have boarded 5 people onto the Steemit train this year alone. Dudes, that's a lot. It's not enough though, so I am going to start a little campaign on Instagram, where if enough people start following me on Steemit (aka make an account and get acquainted with the platform) as a thank you, I will entertain the possibility of a 20s style boudoir shoot...If I can get 1k people to convert to Steemit by the end of 2020, I might even offer some topless shots. 🙈🙈🙈 I guess it depends on how adventurous I am feeling!

Anyway, I hope you all had a wonderful new years! I wish I was better by now, but that is just not how the cookie has crumbled.

Thanks for reading/looking, be back soon!
