AARP Muscle Babe

It has been a long few months since my mom died. My leukemia has really been hammered by all the stress!  It showed up in my blood work; my white count was the highest it has been in almost 7 years. My spleen is a little tender from all the blood filtering it has had to do. Won’t see my onocologist until next month so I hope I get a little better. Really don’t want chemo on top of my already crazy life! Really just want to take care of myself for a change instead of everyone else!!!
Spent almost 2 months dealing with my mom’s affairs, including a 5 weeks of sorting, packing and cleaning out her apartment. When I finally got that done, I had to seriously clean up my house and the yard. Uber messy!

On top of that, my loving family members brought home poison ivy oils into my house and I would up with a horrible rash all over my body, including my face with one eye involved. That took about a month to heal up from that! I am super sensitive to poison ivy, oak and sumac so I stay far away from it but my hubby & daughter can roll in the stuff and not be bothered with it. Bummer for me! Had to stay in the house almost naked in front of the fan as sweating was not an option!
So now I am packing up the minivan for a road trip to Florida to see my eldest daughter and stay in our property in Fort Myers for a few weeks. I will be gone until the end of July. While I can do some exercises, it’s just enough without a real gym. I will be hitting the gym again once I get home… couldn’t see paying for membership if I was out-of-town so it will just have to wait. I’ve gained fat and lost muscle mass but I know I can get back to where I was before all hell broke lose in my life!
