My Comments About Jane Doe, Cornell, and the Thin Line Between "Fine" and Forever Changed

Greetings from Chaton's World in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania! In my world, my days often start with laundry, early-morning emails, and making my kids a hot breakfast. They often end with late-night homework checks, making Instagram reels, and appearing on Celebrity Court of Public Opinion. Somewhere in between, I’m navigating boardrooms, working towards deadlines, and immersed in the good, bad, and ugly chaos of motherhood and household management. As a working mom of three and a professional carving out space in corporate environments, I share my journey of balancing leadership with loving my family, and I sprinkle it with self-care tips. Here, you’ll find honest reflections, hard-earned lessons, and practical strategies for creating an authentic life that you enjoy. If you’re trying to do it all without losing yourself in the process, you have found your sister in the struggle!

Sick in the Springtime...

on

The sun is shining. The birds are chirping. In the midst of all of this hope and newness, I am sick. While I haven't received an official diagnosis, it is clear that I have caught something that I'd rather give back.

I missed two days at work this week, which is a rarity. It's rare because I am rarely sick; and because I am reluctant to use my "Paid Time Off" on being sick. It is much more productive to be sick at work and to use PTO for fun, than using it because you are actually sick.

However, sometimes such things can't be helped. When your throat is inflamed, you have chills and your skin hurts to the touch, missing work is imposed on you. So despite my plans to use this last weekend before the primary promoting Obama, I am trying to promote my own health.

The irony is apparent. I survived the entire winter with only a minor cold. And then with the advent of Spring, sickness overtook me and knocked me on my tush! Everyone else is running and enjoying cocktails on rooftops and I am house bound.

However, even in the midst of the sickness, I am grateful that the sun is shining and the birds are chirping. It turns out that Spring has made the sickness more bearable!
