I wanted to post this quick update while I edit all of the beautiful footage from our travel vlog!

When you live with multiple chronic illnesses, you’ve gotta be prepared for alternate plans at any given time…

Even when you REALLY don’t wanna have backup plans because you'd much rather be the owner of a fully functioning body. sigh

This time it was just me as the designated road trip driver and no other adults were coming along on this trip to take over that task in the event that my health got worse.

So, when my #adrenalfatigue started to flare up and worsen my already flaring #hypothyroid symptoms from my active autoimmune disease, #Hashimotos …

I knew I had to "mom hard" and get plan B in place…STAT.

All regardless of how much I internally kicked and screamed about not taking Bobbo (my SUV that I’ve been recently vanlife-lite customizing) literally along for the ride with a side of independence.

I’m very grateful that we had enough airline miles to get free plane tickets down to near where we were staying. That alone made a lot of my "disabled guilt" melt away!

While I know that often my health is in my own hands, and I am a firm believer in self advocacy, and I shirk off victim mentality, it’s still healthy to grieve when I need to when moments like this pull the rug out from underneath me.

The good news is that thanks to the wonders of the modern and app-supported world we live in today, we were able to make AND enjoy the trip…

Even if Bobbo didn’t get to come along this time.

Stay tuned for part 2 where I share all of the beautiful footage from Galveston island, our funky, charming, and sublime home away from home.
