No live check-in today because the camera angles from bed are… humbling. 😂 I’m almost to a semi-seated position in bed, so making progress! Leg is still painful and also numb in some places. So🤞 for continued improvements.
The kids are apparently engineering me some kind of trick-or-stick contraption so I can improve production quality from the injured reserve suite. Should be arriving this week. Blue Taylor R&D is really thriving over here.
Also, shoutout to my arms, which have apparently decided this is their moment. Between the crutches, hauling myself around and compensating for one completely uncooperative leg, I’m basically running an accidental upper-body boot camp. If nothing else, I’m coming out of this with shoulders. 💪😂
In the meantime, tomorrow I’ve got a solid hour-and-a-half Suburban ride, so I’ll be back with more unsolicited feature reviews for anyone still on the fence.
chevrolet … I’m still waiting on that sponsorship call. Don’t make me flip to Ford. The kids are already lobbying hard. 😂
And speaking of Chevy, Rob’s truck somehow came with this absolutely gigantic smart TV, which I have now discovered gets regular TV.
I don’t know how.
I’m not asking questions.
I’m injured and accepting blessings as they come.
It’s been a minute since I’ve watched Judge Judy, and I am embarrassingly behind on Below Deck, so apparently recovery now includes daytime television and maritime drama.
Honestly, this IR situation is becoming less “rest and recover” and more “discover every random feature in our house and vehicles that I’ve ignored for years.”
Stay tuned. Literally. 😂
A little BT shipping update 🤍 Orders are still moving, but things may be running just a little slower than usual while I’m on the injured reserve list😂
If you need your order by a specific date, just message us and we’ll do everything we can to make it happen, and if needed, we’ll expedite shipping on our end. This is definitely throwing our metrics for loop - you better believe I’m gonna claw our way back to A+ order fill time!
Thank you for your patience, your orders, and for keeping this little boutique moving while I’m temporarily operating from bed. 💙
