Quick Checkin Mini-Episode

Welcome to sharing the middle we're

recovering perfectionist overachievers,

2

and anyone in the middle of a

struggle come together to learn, to

3

embrace the messy middles of life.

4

I'm Lacey, your friend in the middle

and guide whose claim to fame this week

5

is getting our house on the market.

6

Well, This is coming out on

Wednesday and the house is going,

7

then we're going on Thursday.

8

But it's happening.

9

And, someone's going to buy this

beautiful, amazing house and

10

I'm Sad, but also excited for

the next chapter in our lives.

11

This is going to be the

mini esta mini episodes.

12

Because I wasn't going to do an episode.

13

And then I thought, well,

Joe goes and gets the kids.

14

I'll just talk for a minute.

15

I feel so uninteresting right now

because my whole life is centered around.

16

Moving.

17

So getting our house.

18

On the market.

19

We'll get our keys to

our new house on Monday.

20

And then moving and painting

and all of these things.

21

So that is literally all that my.

22

Being can handle.

23

Doing this all with chronic

illnesses, a whole nother level.

24

That has made it really easy for me.

25

I literally looked at

my mom and said, Nope.

26

This is the best it's going to get.

27

And I think that.

28

That it really has lowered.

29

My expectations in the

greatest way possible.

30

And.

31

I think, From me to you, whether

you have chronic illness or not.

32

You do what you can do.

33

And then you just move on and that's okay.

34

I wrote a piece this week, and posted it.

35

Called deer house, where I

wrote a letter to this house.

36

It means so much to me in my family.

37

Because it was our first house.

38

I think that's something

that makes it special.

39

That's where Joe and I.

40

Built our family, before we had.

41

Isaac and Iris, we have Indian Luna here.

42

Our dogs.

43

and it, it was that big step

because we actually moved in and

44

bought this house a couple of

years before we even got married.

45

so that was, The first real

big commitment that we need.

46

And I am so grateful and thankful

for this house is a house.

47

Where we became husband and

wife, we became pet parents.

48

We came people, parents,

we survived a pandemic.

49

managed chronic illness,

sadness, joy laughter.

50

It's a really good house.

51

And it has really good vibes and I hope.

52

Whoever comes in next

continues that feeling.

53

Another reason why I wanted

to talk today is because.

54

As I've said.

55

All along.

56

You know, this.

57

Is an example or I'm trying

to be an example or just show.

58

Life as it's happening.

59

Not afterwards.

60

So even though.

61

I think it's probably

incredibly boring to listen to.

62

MI talk about cleaning

and painting and caulking.

63

Although I have become a

caulking clean and I've gotta

64

be very careful as I say it.

65

Because it can sound very different.

66

Those are all the things

that I'm thinking about.

67

And it's actually really funny.

68

We had the pictures taken

for the house today.

69

And then tomorrow, Wednesday.

70

I've got a doctor's appointment.

71

I've actually had several

doctor's appointments.

72

And we'll talk more about that maybe soon.

73

That might, my health journey

has picked back up again.

74

As far as doctor's appointments go, but.

75

Tomorrow, taking the day off.

76

I am going to relax.

77

I actually think I'm going

to binge love is blind.

78

So who knows, maybe I'll

come in with a mini episode.

79

Where I think about my

love is blind thoughts.

80

But I'm going to

intentionally rest tomorrow.

81

'cause showings.

82

We'll start.

83

We're going to stay with my parents.

84

We're going to.

85

Be moving out.

86

Do you want all those things?

87

And The day before all

that craziness starts.

88

I'm going to rest.

89

And I'm really proud of that.

90

And I know that's not, There's most

super exciting news in the world.

91

But I think that's pretty cool.

92

They sat down and I looked at what

is coming up and I said, Nope.

93

Instead of trying to

cram more into this week.

94

I've been taking that day

and I'm going to arrest.

95

I'm being productive with my rest.

96

I'm resting now so that I can.

97

Be who I want to be later.

98

And I, even though with my chronic

illness, Which we still don't have

99

an official diagnosis of, with that.

100

Aye.

101

Can confidently, Say I need

it, but even if you don't have

102

that, your rest is productive.

103

My friend.

104

You're allowed to rest and that your

rest now is an investment in your.

105

Being later.

106

And you now, and you

later both deserved that.

107

my voice, which, I mean, if

108
