Circumstances

Half the month as gone and I'm behind.  Not to say things haven't been happening.

Let's run down the list.

1. I'm learning to identify how Lupus and my allergies play together.  Since I have some aggressive seasonal allergies, I'm learning how my Lupus reality and my allergies play off each other. 
2. I've completed a novel and am shopping for an agent.  While this isn't directly health related, it is something that affects my stress levels.  After all rejection is a stressful thing.  For that matter so is success. 
3. Work has been moving full steam ahead.  Lots of changes happening. Not bad, just a lot of balls in the air that require me to stay sharp.  I'm still dealing with some exhaustion.  The cognitive haze that I was dealing with last summer has not returned. I do believe that that is a due to the Plaquenil.
4. I have several writing projects in various stages.  Just because one project is finished, doesn't mean that I rest on my laurels. I have to continue to write, my goal is to augment my income as a writer.  Therefore this is essentially a second job.  

Then of course there are the normal family and day to day things that never stop.  My life is full. Better than it was.  Is it where it was a couple a years ago? No. Will it ever be? Probably not. I'm okay with that.  I rather know the big bad in my life. Then I can find my work arounds.  I can still live my life.  

Live can be lived in the most extraordinary circumstances.  As a person, you have to be willing to see the opportunities where they lay.  And the opportunities are vast.

Am I glad I'm sick? I'd rather not be.  Will I wring my hands and decline like a Victorian maid?  Absolutely not.
