About Me: Who is Rachée?

Who is Rachée? (rachee@sayitrahshay.com)

Yes, Rah-shay.

Maybe Ruh-shay.

But not Ruh-chey. Rah-chee, Ray-shay.

Not Rachel. Not Roxanne.

Rachée.

Say it, “Rah-shay.”

This space has evolved since I started blogging many moons ago. While I write a little bit about a lot of things, lately, I have been writing the most about running, crafting, and life post-kidney transplant.

About running:

You can read the whole story here, but just know that one day, I had enough of sounding like Darth Vader and tried this thing called running. Since my transplant, running has slowed down a bit, and I find that I WANT to be chasing that high from the 5 am alarm and telling folks that I ran “six miles before work!” but I struggle to get back into the groove.

About FSGS and Kidney Transplant:

You can read more about that here and here. In a nutshell, my family carries a gene that caused my kidneys to fail. In the fall of 2023 (October 13…lucky 13!) I received the call that changed my life!

About other things:

I still wear many a hat (knitted and crocheted, usually by moi!) and they include:

I’m still a library chick.
Book lover, although since the pandemic my reading is feast or famine.
Balancing that sandwich generation as I am mom to my young adult, The Bee, and daughter to Mom.
Twin to this my sis, who was my sometime wannabe blogging partner. (Now we just take cooking classes and buy too many tacos).
Still an avid trash TV watcher. I am no longer on Twitter but find myself sharing an opinion or two over on Threads.
Student-ish. I really need to finish up my library degree because this (*waves at things) ain’t it.
Mostly Meatless. Still working on this one.
