Just One More Me Time

Rather than fight the urges, i've found that if you just go with them every now and again you get more done. For instance, after this I did a load of laundry and emptied the dishwasher. 🤷🏾‍♂️ Caregivers, take time to take care of yourselves! It's not only a great way to relieve stress, it's actually HEALTHY. So go forth and ENJOY YOURSELVES!

My wife and I are exploring new things together. This is me at my most basic, trying to show her how all this works.

The caregivers among us are under a lot of pressure to perform the care they need and still maintain care for themselves. Often they sacrifice the latter for the former, which leads to all sorts of health problems dealing with the stress. To the caregivers, I urge you to TAKE CARE OF YOURSELVES. I know it feels selfish sometimes and it may make you feel guilty but believe me: if you light yourself on fire to keep your family warm, all you'll get is BURNT OUT. Take time to slip away and do something to replenish yourself! Have a quick hot cup of tea... steal a moment to read a quick chapter of a book... or... 😈 slip away and have yourself a good time... It's OK! You're allowed! 🤓😄

After carrying 12 bottles of water through a theme park in the 100 degree Florida heat... your damn right I'm taking some time for myself. Everyone else is asleep...

I'm experimenting with new toys and camera angles. Shout out to the Pelvic People and their OhNuts. These things are life savers. Had a nice quiet little sesh... hope it helps you be happy as well

"Dad, when is dinner?" "Honey? Can you come take out the trash please?" I made this video because I wanted to remind myself - (and share :) ) - that as providers and caregivers, we have the ability and the RIGHT to say the three most powerful words in your arsenal of self preservation: NOT. RIGHT. NOW. Take time for yourself! Not only is it healthy, it's NECESSARY. You can't pour from an empty vessel, and sometimes you just have to fill it yourself. Go ahead! :) You'll feel less stressed, more relaxed, and the trash will be right there where you left it when you're done. The world won't END in the next 5 minutes if dinner is a little late. So, the next time you're going to put off caring for yourself because ______ needs _______... Make ME-TIME. Not excuses! Enjoy!

My wife often asks why I post these. I hope to encourage people to take care of themselves, and also to share how HEALTHY and NORMAL it is for people to 'take a moment' in the shower. Sometimes as caregivers this is the one of the only free moments we GET! Therefore GIVE YOURSELF PERMISSION to enjoy your private time however you see fit. Me personally... I like to know I'm being watched 😈🍆 but hey 🤷🏾‍♂️ you do you, as long as you ENJOY what you do 🚿😄🫨🤯🫠

I bought this Kiiroo Keon device, and it does work great even if it’s a little awkward. This is me trying to use the device quickly… Clumsy perhaps but it gets the job done

This is a celebration of sorts. My health used to be a lot worse off that it is. I've lost almost 100 pounds 🏋🏾‍♀️🚴🏾🥋 and in so doing beat 🩸diabetes💉. Metformin is a distant memory! So when I say enjoy your self? I mean ENJOY. 🫵🏾🤨YOUR. SELF. If you take care of your body and it is still upright and functioning? Be 🥳thankful😌 and reward it for doing such good work! This is my reward: the confidence to sit and be JUST ME and feel as comfortable in my own skin whether or not people are watching me. And I know you're watching me... which makes this even better for me! Figured I'd get right to the edge and... well... you'll see. May your confidence feel as 😈🍆sexy🍆😈 as mine! ENJOY YOURSELVES!!!

This is a quick experiment with my guy-brator the Hot Octopus. The damn thing keeps falling off, and I got tired of having to find medical tape, so I did a little arts and crafts. Cue the MacGuyver music: hot glue gun, velcro, and elastic. If I say 'strap on' it'll mean something different, but 😅... anyway, enjoy the test drive and ENJOY YOURSELF!
