Exactly this! I relate so much, Erica. I have endometriosis and for most of my life that’s meant “no social plans or events” during the 8-10 days of pain per month and only scheduling things during the other 20 days. Turns out I can invite friends over to sit on my couch and moan with me! Even if my floors aren’t vacuumed, even if I have dishes in the sink.
Oh Dizzy, this is totally the meat of it. I hate that you're dealing with this pain and I love that you have let people into it. Here for neighborhood couch solidarity <3
Great post, Erica! You channeled your inner Judy Teufel who has always understood the power of “togetherness.” I smiled at the barn raising pic. You probably don’t remember every day in seventh grade……I showed this clip every year at the beginning of ERIC/RICE. Enjoy the memories…..https://youtu.be/BL_X7GelX5Q?si=bfN8QBodMlbcMdv1
