I was everywhere. I don't drive, but I was present at every event. Every day, I would post whatever activity I participated in on Instagram and Facebook. In 2020, I was diagnosed with discoid lupus.

The fatigue made me homebound. I had no energy to do anything. My ankles are constantly inflamed. My hands ache regularly. Now I relax in my recliner.
