โบ Life Lately | A Little EverFlow Update From Home
A little look at everyday life, social training, motherhood, getting around on crutches, and dealing with an injured foot.
Hello my spicy pumpkins! ๐ค
๐๐๐๐๐
How are you all doing today? I hope you all have an amazing day / evening!
I thought I should post a mixed blog post with a bit of what I’ve been doing lately when I haven’t been blogging. Mostly photos though. A picture say more than a thousand words – isn’t that the saying?
E and I have been social training a couple of times โ at the same time as we’ve been grocery shopping, but these times have been in town. Not at home. So it has been a lot of bus rides and walking. Shopping, spending time together, laughs, happiness but of course tears and sadness. Nothing special has happened with the sadness, but you can’t always have bright, colorful and happy days.
Alone on the bus. Take which ever the seat you want. 
Telling him to slow down and go next to me is impossible.
Trying to keep up with the same speed as E when walking โ that must look interesting and funny. Screaming blue crutches, a heffalump (me) dressed in black and probably with a backpack as usual. Even the thought of that makes me laugh! Like… what!?Do you know the boy who copies and making fun of his mom when walking? Little boy!
Thief. Always steal my extra legs. Haha!
I thought I’d share some photos from the time. I’m currently in bed, resting my foot, neck and stomach. Stomach pain after today’s visit to the hospital.
Update on my foot: 8/10 pain right now.Ice Cream Date
Random pics from the time.
Broken adapter.. I accidentally dropped it on the floor. Now I know how an adapter for phonecharger looks like inside. 
I need these as tattoos. -
โบ The Weird Residents of EverFlow (Yes, They All Have Names)
Meet the Residents of EverFlow
The Non-Human Edition โ They’re Real Legends.
I’ve always named things. Objects. Plants. Animals. Yeah, pretty much anything that sticks around long enough. With weird names. With random names. With absolutely no explanation.
Lately I’ve been asking myself “Why do I do this?” Honestly… I have no idea. I can’t even answer my own question.
So I figured it’s finally time to introduce a few of the residents of EverFlow. ๐ค
The image above gives you the short version. Here’s a little more about what they (some of them) actually do around EverFlow.
๐ฟ Garden Protectors
๐ด Fartranden (FartStripe)
The yucca palm with an attitude. Professional eavesdropper. Part-time ninja.
Occupation: Looking suspiciously plant-like.
๐ฆฉ Mohammed – The Garden Flamingo
Just stands there. Judges everyone. Protects absolutely nothing… …or maybe everything. Occupation: Head of Security.
๐ท Hubert & The Gang
Every spider automatically becomes Hubert (with other names). Together they make up a tiny mafia whose only mission is eliminating bugs and other unwanted visitors. Occupation: Pest Control.
โจ Sparklefart โ The troublemaker. Highly energetic. Extremely dramatic. Charges first. Asks questions later… maybe, but probably not. Leaves a trail of glitter wherever chaos occurs. Occasionally picks fights with people using their horn for reasons still under investigation. Occupation: Head of Chaos.๐ก Other EverFlow Residents
๐ฑ Toulula Marie
The angelic spirit protector of EverFlow.
Forever family. ๐ค
๐น Masina (also known as Muskeville)
Small. Cute. Pure chaos.
Occupation: Former terrorist.Now I just need names for the rest of the Lawn Mower Mafia… and somehow convince my R10 to reveal its true identity.
Let’s be honest… more residents will probably show up sooner or later.Knowing me, more residents will probably move into the EverFlow household sooner or later… so stay tuned. ๐ค
Yes… I have ADHD and apparently my brain thinks everything deserves a name.
Do you name random objects too… or should I be slightly concerned?

โบ 10 Days Later: Still Fighting the Pain After Breaking My Foot
Hey guys!
So sorry that I haven’t been updating EverFlow like I normally do (texts etc. Like this post), but hopefully that will change soon. No… it will change soon! I also apologize for the lack of communication from my side. I see all your comments and love ๐ค I will answer them as soon as I can! I also want to apologize for not sharing photos yet from my trip but they will come. Be prepared!
How are you guys? Happy new month! (Yeah, I know… we’re already three days into it. ๐)I hope you’re all doing fantastic. Thriving, growing and, most importantly, being happy!
My main focus lately has actually been my foot and my knee. It hurts so much, but because I’m stubborn I’ve already started walking on my foot again. Do I suffer because of it? Absolutely. Am I supposed to be resting with my foot up? Yep. But is there really time for that? Not really. Housework, mom life… life doesn’t exactly hit the pause button.
Today I have actually challenged myself. Not a small challenge… a big, exhausting one.
Normally it takes me about five minutes to walk to the store and another five minutes back. Today? Twenty minutes each way. Forty minutes in total… and let me tell you, I do not need a gym membership while I’m on these crutches. ๐ That is one thing for sure!
The sweat was definitely sweating, I can assure you. Imagine me jumping around on crutches while E walks at the speed of a cheetah. It was basically Snail vs. Cheetah.
It’s been 10 days now and my foot still hurts. Like I said above… and no, I still haven’t been given any painkillers, no matter how many times I’ve asked.
So to try and ease the pain a little, I bought a pair of compression socks because the area around my toes is getting absolutely destroyed from walking the way I do with the boot.
It actually helped a little… but it also squeezed parts of my foot I didn’t even know existed. ๐ So, of course… more pain. Those socks are TIGHT. Like… “is my blood circulation still working?” tight. I wore one for two days, though. I even fell asleep with it on the first night.
Yep… that’s pretty much my life right now.
I’m just hoping, wishing and praying these next few weeks fly by, because I’m honestly getting pretty tired of being in pain. -
โบ One Week Later… Recovery Isn’t Going as Planned
Happy Monday! ๐ค
New week!
New possibilities!
New goals!
One week ago, I was on my way back from Niลก, Serbia. It’s crazy how fast time flies!
I still haven’t gone through the photos from my camera, so I can edit them and show you all. The unexpected detour to the emergency room, along with the pain, has my full attention right now. Yep… I’m still dealing with the pain with no painkillers or anything.
I have a few people waiting for their photos, so I’m going to try to sort everything out either tonight or tomorrow.
I just wanted to pop in and wish you all a wonderful week! ๐ค
I’ll be back on The EVERFLOW as soon as possible, but right now my main focus is simply trying not to break down because of the pain.
The difference is.. *chefs kiss*
Much love to you, my pumpkins. ๐๐ค
