Hey Bari Besties 💜
Today was… a lot. After oversleeping, Sacha speed-runs her morning and lands at the doctor just in time — only to get stuck in a lab-results loop until the A1C finally comes through: 4.8. Cue relief. From there, she navigates another hard caregiving day with her mom (appointment logistics, big emotions, and holding boundaries), squeezes in a car-based Miracle Morning, and later leans on coaching to move stuck feelings (ugly cry included).
There’s also talk of post-op labs, statins and why she stopped them, caregiver fatigue, a two-and-a-half-hour nap, bossy pets with impeccable timing, and choosing integrity with herself by still getting some gentle movement in before bed.
