(Sorry for typos. I suck at texting on the phone. RIP)
2018 unfortunately ranks high among terrible years in my life which is surprising to say as many things DID happen this year that are also some of the best things in my life? It was a very up and down year in the extremes of both good and bad but I shall highlight the highs!

I was finally given the greenlight to start taking the world's most effective narcolepsy medication and it has completely neutralized my cataplexy while tremendously helping my narcolepsy. This alone is a life saver and game changer. In between 2016 and 2017 I had unfortunately developed sleeping beauty syndrome. I slept 18-22 hours every day. And the hours I was awake were painful and foggy to the point I dont remember much of 2017. A almost blank year in my life. I fear if not for this medicine, this would still be the case and Id be an incoherent mess deteriorating and never have met any of you!

Thanks to normalizing from the above, I got much needed time outside. It had felt like eons since being able to just breathe and love the fall air. Engage in any of my senses really! It was my first time in several years I was CAPABLE of working full time at my Fiance's clinic. While I was sleeping a year it went to shambles. I gave it a much needed aesthetic makeover and I made marketing campaigns that paid off. In october our business more than doubled in clients and I helped get us back on our feet writing a years worth of appeals.

While I did devastatingly lose my cat foxy due to blatant negligence of our vet, I did rescue Lacey who despite medical challenges and expensive costs: has been an absolutely adorable delight. And I'm happy to say as of right now shes in good health and made a fantastic turn around!

I adore the staff here at Voltra and have a lot of fun here as a writer! After a year of sleeping in what felt like a coffin, I went on a writing spree this year scoring several publications in Chicken Soup for the soul books launching throughout mid and late 2019! Not wanting to lose my flow: applied for Voltra. Ive liked everyone I have interacted with and if there is one amazing quality this team has: it's pulling through and pushing for the win!
There is one particular staff member I have amazingly gotten along with and we surprisingly [rare for me] have a shit ton in common so Ive been low key beaming over dis shiny pokemon (such a lame and cringe description; dont hate meeee) but they don't like AhTENshUN so I'll leave it at that. >.>


Being awake had allowed me to rekindle old hobbies like D&D and bird studying. I feel closer than ever to my heart of gold fiance and I have much love and appreciation for his dedication and loyalty to me despite basically being in a coma for a year needing support...(couldn't even drink on my own, man. My dude the MVP.) I'm glad this year I could support HIM in return.

After losing a year of my life, I have a fire to produce ,help and get involved in as many things as I can: without burning myself out of course haha.

Happy Holidays lovely folks.
