Do not disturb. Your messages have been silenced. This is the message I’ve been sending out into my world for I don’t know how long. I thought it was only after 8pm. But come to find out it’s at all times! I’ve been telling my world to essentially to go pound sand and leave me alone….unintentionally but all the same.

My phone has been quieter and the texts fewer. And here I thought it was you being too busy! I would apologize but I can’t say I’m sorry for the peace it gave me. There were those that didn’t care…Cough cough Theresa…but most acted as my cousin did and left me alone. He was the first one to tell me, so you have Kevin to thank for opening the gates of DND. All Theresa did was passive aggressively throw up her DND…one I ignored!

We all need to throw up that DND from time to time. Step away from the phone, the email, the solving of others issues, the pretending all is fine. Perhaps this was God’s way of giving me time to step away. As my phone blew up at 7am this morning with 20 texts I can see why He had me inadvertently turn on DND!

An update of the time away…markers continue to drop significantly. But no need to get cocky as we’ve been here before. Surgery is on the 9th and then I’m back in the chamber diving until the 25th. I did take two days off for surgery. My own DND to work I suppose.

We all get tired. We all need a break. Turn on your DND. Even if it’s after a certain time everyday. Put your phone in the kitchen while you nap in back. Rest. Let your body throw up a DND. The world will still be here when you come back. And trust me it needs all the rested and mentally strong souls it can get. ♥️🙏🏻
