I'm not one of those women that glow and they're beautiful and have all this energy and the great hair.

Like that's not me.

I spend most of my time with the head in the toilet kind of thing.

So, you know, it's not exactly, I look forward to the ending, but the nine months in between is rough.

It's not bad.

My husband is a first responder, so he works 60 hours a week on a good week, and he's gone a lot.

And we live on a farm, I guess you could put it, and we're extremely rural.

We have no family around to speak of, and while we have a good church, our son's issues

can be rather isolating for us.

Yeah.

And I think that takes its toll a little bit.

Yeah.

So we, we just, we have a lot.

And I mean, it's, it's been a, it's been a long year, so I know, you know, it, it will get better progressively, but.

Uh, so the,

The beginning of this year, my father was diagnosed with stage four uncontrollable prostate cancer and he's only 50.

Yeah.

So that was a big deal.

I had a brother exit the military last year and he was not transitioning well this year.

So we had to get him some help.
