This blog started as a way for me to vent about my disease, ease the stresses of middle age and give me some therapeutic time to use my brain since I'm not working this year. And even though it is still all of those things, it has become much more. I'm actually making people smile at times. Thanks for reading!

Green Haze, Cotton Candy and A Full Bladder
The sunrise was beautiful this morning. It sported pastel pinks, purples and blues and it was reflecting off of the snow...absolutely gorgeous. I haven't seen a whole lot of sunrises in my lifetime, I am NOT a morning person, but I was up with John and so I watched it. I do not do well in the mornings for several reasons. The main one is because it takes forever to get moving with the Rheumatoid Arthritis...it's a whole process...swing legs over the side of the bed...sit for a couple of minutes...try to stand up...stand for a few minutes...try to take the first step...stand...next step...stand...next step...okay now it's a little better...next step...okay I think I can walk slowly now. Yeah...that's great when your bladder is screaming at you..."biatch, get to the toilet!" :) The second reason that mornings make me cringe is because no matter what kind of breakfast I eat or how long of a hot shower I take, my brain does not work in the morning. I literally can't think things through, can't make decisions, can't remember stuff...it's terrible. It's like someone comes in every night while I'm sleeping and gives me a frontal labotomy! There is this haze that encompasses my head; I imagine it to be lime green with fuzzy stuff like cotton candy floating in it. Instead of the boy in the plastic bubble, I'm the girl in the lime green, cotton candy haze cloud. My third reason........oh, who gives a shit...I'm going back to bed.

Ha! I so love that you can embrace the imagery and humor of our...glamorous moments. Laughter is allegedly the best medicine, and if that's true...you and I will be case studies of miracle recoveries.
