Happy New Year

Happy New Year!

I wish you all health, wealth, happiness and the time to enjoy them all.

I don't pray for myself, but I pray for all of you to get whatever you need.

For myself, I hope to have fewer flare-ups. :D Too bad I'm already having one. :(

For my friends, I hope that we can see each other more often this year!

For my online friends, I hope we get to meet this year!

I H8 Flare-ups

Nothing like not getting enough rest during the holidays. :( And nothing like falling asleep on Christmas day while changing clothes to get ready to go over to the P's to celebrate.

Trying something new

The question is, will this be animated or not?

I call this: "A BetsyPanda Christmas".

Can I get an "OUCH"??

Last night as I was getting out of the van after my daughter's Christmas concert, I slipped on the ice & fell HARD into the slush! I landed right where your thigh bone connects with your hip bone. :( So today it hurts to stand, sit, and walk. :(

I'm going back to bed...

This is repetitive

Nothing like posting the same thing repeatedly...but that's why I created this: To keep track of my dam flare-ups. :(

They are definitley hormonally related. Seems to me that THAT info should be useful to researchers!!! As for the rest of the month, I understand not being able to control something you can't predict. :(

Have I mentioned how badly I want to just feel normal?

I am SO fkin sick of this...

I only have one question:

Am I EVER going to feel normal again?

He11, I'll settle for even just feeling OK!

I'm sick and tired ;) of sleeping on the couch. I detest not getting enough rest.

Another Saturday night...

...and I ain't got no energy! ;)

So what else is new?

Flare-ups like to keep me guessing

So yesterday's flare-up was in the form of sleeplessness and napping. ???

That means that I couldn't sleep Monday night and went down to the couch (oh how I wish we had a spare bedroom!) and not sleeping much. Got the kids off to school, cancelled my WOWY appointment, went back to bed until 9:30, went to the CFH in Elmhurst for an ultrasound then to the CFH in Lombard for my annual screening. Came home amd fell asleep on the couch.

Kids came home from school about a ½ hour later. Ariel said I was grunting a lot...I was trying to tell them to wake me up and let the dog out. Couldn't move...couldn't talk. Was almost comatose until 6:30. Forced myself to get up & make dinner for the kids, then went up to bed at 8:00. Fell asleep right away and only woke once for a potty break. ;) Missed a school meeting becuase I couldn't stay awake.

I really hate this $hit.

GDI!!

DAMMIT!! I got a flu shot yesterday and now my left arm's killing me and I'm all schnozlly and feel awful. :(

But I just remember what they say: Would you rather fall apart or rust away?

Dam flare-ups

!@#$%^&*%$*#!!!

I HATE flare-ups!!

I'm about to scratch myself raw. :(

Another ARGH!

I HATE THIS $hit! I detest not being able to plan things. I despise not being able to sit and watch my kids at their respective sports performances.

I fell Saturday night while doing Warrior 2. :( Never happened before since I use the bed for support. I thought I hurt my arm by trying to grab the bed but instead I twisted my knee. :( It seems OK now and even if it isn't, it's not like it hasn't hurt worse than this.

But yesterday was so dam hot that I couldn't stay in the stands for both kids' games. :( No, it wasn't the heat, it was the sun. :( I can't be in the sun & there wasn't any shade. Sun ===> flare-ups. And the only place that was cool enough for me was an air conditioned weight room which was full of latex!!! >:-( So I ended up spending the second half in the van so I could lay down.

More on flare-ups

GREAT!! >:-(

Now I have the itchy rash again! This is when hubby & the kids grab my hands to stop me from scratching myself raw. :(

ARGH!

DAMMIT!

I just finished my mandatory daily workout and I'm freakin' tired!

WTH's up with that?!?!

I could so go back to bed right now...sweat & all.

F-ing flare-ups!

WHOA!

How TOTALLY COOL is that?!?!?

MORE COWBELL!

I've got a fever...
and the only cure is...MORE COWBELL!!

But you know what's so dam wierd about this??

That song first aired when I was in high school and WE ALL MADE FUN OF IT for having too dam much cowbell!!!

Apparently, we weren't the only ones who thought so...

Dam flare-ups

I DESPISE flare-ups!

And NOW I'm getting horrible leg cramps, too!

Flare-up

:(

I figured that I'd better start recording my flare-ups. :( I feel so drained and I don't care anout anything right now.

The tell-tale Lupus rash is back...

Am I evil?

I am 12% evil.




I try to stay away from evil deeds but succumb to temptation every once in a while. I'm not quite on my way to hell but I certainly have some explaining to do.


Are you evil? find out at Hilowitz.com

OK

Well, since JR posted her blog, I'd better add something to mine. Not like there's anything really exciting going on.

Then again, I do have pics from my p's 50th Anniversary party last Sunday! I'll see if I can post the link.



OK, why isn't the link appearing?

Sigh

Yesterday was our 17th wedding anniversary. Tomorrow will be my p's 50th. I don't feel old enough to have been married this long, nor do I feel old enough to have a 13-year-old!

If age is a state of mind, then mine's constantly in Hawaii. ;)

Wow

OK, I'm new to this blog stuff but I figured this was a good place to start.
