Chronicles of Nani - Leave Of Absence

- Sometimes things that you don't have but are necessary can pile up on your shoulders so bad that it drives you into depression. I'm not talking about feeling down, I'm talking about real life depression. Been there, been diagnosed with that, recovered and never want to do it again. But here I am.
I need a home health aide, someone who can help keep me cleaned but also help with getting the things I use organized and get me ready to do my Vlog every week. Aides are in very short supply and very difficult to find unless you have tons of money right now. Agencies, who don't pay aides well at all, are charging even more because they can't find employees. Some independent contractor aides are asking for an hourly rate that is less than the agencies asked for and more of what they're worth and in the price range I can afford but some are asking as much or more than the agencies asked for and none of them want to pay taxes on the income. But I have to have an aide for me to be able to do pretty much anything.
I need to take a leave of absence maybe as little as three weeks could be as much as a couple months, but I do want to come back.

Aw, Nani -- so sorry this is the "soul-weather" you're enduring now. My abiding wish for people I care for, especially those in bad soul-weather, is that a variety of pleasant surprises start to pop up. So I'm hoping things will not take as long as you fear, and that although there may be alterations in what you need and what you can get, you will be up and rolling very soon -- preferably before the weather-imposed quarantine of winter -- for our sake as well as yours. Please keep us posted, here or on FB, as you are able. Know that a lot of us are virtually-hugging you -- put me down for the 3 am whim-wham shift. I've been eating some pumpkin-spice Werner's caramels that I meant to put in the mail but could smell through the wrapper -- so I deem eating them to be in your honor, and if they are on your "permitted list" I'll get more and send them. Meanwhile.... well .... praying the length of that "meanwhile" is shorter than you fear. Take care m'dear. Come back soon! Chickie
Chickie, I'm catching up on old replies right now. You know what I'm truly grateful for and feel every virtual hug I am sent. I hope you (and everyone) is feeling the hugs back.
Nani, I’m sending you many virtual hugs. I can only imagine what it feels like to feel overwhelmed trying to continue this vlog. I give you a lot of credit for all of your hard work trying to edit and come up with new things to talk about every week. I know when I had my blog it was extremely challenging and sometimes overwhelming. I wish I was closer so that I could help. Unfortunately this disease does put us at the mercy of the help from others. When you do find that special someone that can help fill in the gaps I will certainly be back to share life challenges and strategies with you🥰. Please feel free to call me or video chat with me anytime you need a friend. No matter what I’m doing I will always be here to reply to you and if possible have a conversation at that time, or one that works for both of us. Unless I am at a doctor appointment, which happens frequently in our MS world, I am never too busy to lend an ear😉. Take care and I’ll be thinking about you and watching for your return💕
Oh Christine, thank you so much! I know you completely understand everything that I'm going through right now. And when I'm through with what I need to do on my own right now, I'm definitely going to take you up on that offer for a video chat or to or a gazillion!
I wish there was something I could do to help. I’m sorry you’re going through this. Call me if you just need to talk. Love you.
Sheri, you know you've done a bunch of stuff to help me through this and I'm truly grateful. You sent me a gift that's going to be featured on Chronicles of Nani in the not so distant future. Your inspiration has actually helped a lot! Love you too!
