The Adventures of Julie and Bella 2025

Ever have one of those weeks that feels like it should already be over… and then realize it’s only Tuesday? 😵‍💫 That’s exactly where I am right now. The kids at work have been a little off, life in general feels out of sync, and somehow, I’ve managed to oversleep two days in a row—making my mornings a chaotic scramble. ⏰💨 Then today, it hit me: we’re ending the week with a full moon. 🌕 If you’re a teacher, you know exactly what that means—chaos is coming. 😅

As if that weren’t enough, the struggle of feeling left out has been weighing on me again, especially without my hearing aid. 🎧❌ I can’t even describe how exhausting it is to try to function in a world built for the hearing when I’m not fully part of it. Lately, I’ve been coming home with pounding headaches 🤯 from the stress of trying to concentrate so hard just to “understand” conversations. It’s frustrating, isolating, and honestly, I’m just so tired of it. 😞

But maybe—just maybe—there’s some light at the end of this tunnel. ✨ I’ve been wracking my brain 🧠💭 for ways to afford new hearing aids, and I think I might be close to a solution. 🤞 Next Wednesday, I have an appointment with my audiologist to go over options. I’m both excited and nervous because if this doesn’t work out, I don’t know what my next step will be. 😬

So, if you’re reading this, send some good vibes, prayers, or crossed fingers my way. 🙏🤞 I could really use a miracle solution right now. 💙
