Month: November 2025

When I woke up this morning, the sheet was pressing down on my feet and it was a little painful on my toes. I immediately thought about this book I read recently, Mornings on Main by Jodi Thomas, where this character, Joe, decided to create toe tents. Now, when I think about it, that man was on to something. He had previously had a few other harebrained ideas that did not pan out, so when he came up with this one, not a lot of people took him seriously. The MMC (male main character) did allow Joe to use an unoccupied building he had to work on this new business idea. Toe tents turned out to be good idea and he starting selling a bunch of them, and hired other workers. Who would have thunkit?

Of course, my mind went there. I wonder if there is really a such thing as toe tents? There is! Except they are called blanket lifters. Toe tents sound better. One vendor on Amazon said the blanket lifter is good for post surgery, arthritis, and neuropathy. I need a toe tent! I have neuropathy due to MS. I never thought that sheets and blankets on my feet would cause an issue. Yet, here I am, googling toe tents. There were actually a few different styles.

This one even have fasteners to keep the blankets completely off of you and still on the bed. It also lifts blankets up off the knees for anyone dealing with recovery after knee surgery. I would say it is the winner out of the others due to its  versatility.

If I were to pick one, it would probably be this one.

I feel like it keeps the sheets and blankets off your feet, but don’t let all that extra air in like the others. My feet are almost always cold so I still want the heat of the blanket, just not the weight. Now, for people with average feet or bigger feet, this probably would not be a good fit. It doesn’t look tall enough to keep the blanket off your feet. I have kid sized feet, so it is perfect.

What a random ass thought, right? 😆 This is so common for me. I could care less about the majority of the features on a cellphone, but having the ability to look up random shit I think about, is one of its best features. Especially now that I’m old, I wouldn’t remember to look it up later when I was near a computer. Would toe tents be something you purchase or do you still think it is a corny idea? Honestly, I am really thinking about buying one. Be well and whole. Much Love 🧡 💚

Today, I had my first therapy appointment. And today, I decided, I quit therapy. Just kidding 😂.  We barely even touched on anything and it was still a little intense. I thought I knew myself. I pride myself on being self-aware and knowledgeable of my faults. Yeah, I’m not. I have been sitting on the surface and she is about to make me dig my own damn grave. Yet, this is what I signed up for. I want a more fulfilling life. I want to know why I am here, and not just because God isn’t bored with me 😆. I want to be a better friend, daughter, sister, and aunt. I want to accept the current version of myself, and not keep dwelling on who I was. I want to be comfortable with crying, even if I don’t feel like it is helpful. Because I am sure keeping it in, isn’t helpful either. There is so much I want while I am still here on this earth. Oh, I even have a quote for this. It is my own quote.

“If this is truly the only life I get to live, I’ll be damned if I live this one.” – Ebony Sims

This is in reference to the life I am currently living. It is pretty average. Nothing to write about, even though I am always writing about it on this blog 😂.

After my appointment today, I realize why people don’t go to therapy. And I don’t recommend it, until you are ready. We are always walking around talking about how someone needs therapy, without realizing it is a huge step. Like it is nothing to play with. You are talking to some random person and telling them all your business. You are exposing parts of yourself, you haven’t even come to terms with yet. Then you have to tell the therapist why you feel a way. I don’t fucking know why I feel that way, I just do! Wrong answer 😕. And at this point, you have to evaluate your feelings in that moment and find the best one to describe the emotion that motivated you. Talk about work (wipes brow). Lol. Seriously though, I will be more cognizant of what I say in regards to therapy. It is nothing to take lightly.

I received a few packets and some homework. One of the packets was titled Becoming Whole. Talk about right place, right time. Not only is it a part of my sign-off, but it is one of my goals for my personal new year. I believe God lead me to this particular therapist. I am uncomfortable and a little scared. Heaven only knows what is going to come up in these sessions. But I believe it is my time to be well and whole. I wish the same for you, no matter how or when you get there. Much Love 🧡 💚
