My eldest and I were voicing some frustration at the platitudes we have been told about self care. This kid made a Bingo card as a way to help us smile and it was too funny not to share.

In all seriousness please do whatever you need to to take care of yourself, including laugh.

    I used to have one with all the irritating things your relatives can do on holidays. Thanks for sharing!

    This came about after I ended up in the ER with some chest pain. 90% sure that it is stress and anxiety, but since I have a history of a stent my clinic would not see me until cleared through the ER. I understand the reasoning, but the process is maddening.

    I was venting to my kid about this and we got on a tangent of the things we had been told in the past. I thought the conversation was done but then they sent me the bingo card they made. I shared this with my in person support group today and it provided a much needed spot of levity
