My Emotional Support Campsite Crew
Yesterday was a bit of a blur. I remember starting a blog post to write about the weather but it quickly went in a whole different direction about waking up tired.
Needless to say, I’m not quite as tired today but something is off and I need to get to the bottom of it.
I’ve been down this road many times. It’s been well over a decade ago but I used to feel tired, brain-foggy, achy, flu-like symptoms, and/or unable to function… all day, every day.
Thru the help of a Naturopathic doctor, I regained my life. There are still ebbs and flows to how I physically feel but, thankfully, it flows more than it ebbs.
But now, when my physical well-being goes even a little south, I feel (and act) like it’s the end of the world - because I don’t want to feel like that all day, every day, ever again!
While it may not be the end of the world, during the ebbs, I fully invoke my right to whine about it 🙄
Something that helps redirect my “end of the world” thinking are the visitors to my campsite. They seem to know when I need emotional support 💕

Mrs Bunny Rabbit comes around often.
She and her babies live under the cabin next to my campsite. The cute baby bunnies haven’t been too keen on doing a photo shoot, though.

This is the first time I’ve seen Sir Cardinal. The vibrant red against the greenery is hard to miss!
Sir Cardinal looks right at me. I think he’s trying to tell me that rolling with the down days is a better option than wallowing in it.
