Gratitude

So I’ve been doing a gratitude challenge that several of my friends have sent me…and it’s actually been pretty enlightening.  It’s a month long series of exercises where you write, think and reflect about positives in your life.  I’ve also challenged myself to say two positives about every negative thought I’ve had.  Some of them [...]

The 4-1-1

Long time, no write!  
I’ve been busy…working, playing, traveling….living!
Until I can get something meatier up, I will give you a little list of some things going on:
1.  Doctors- I have (finally) found a new primary care doctor here.  I’m picky about all doctors unfortunately but have found a good one who asks the right questions [...]

An unexpected surprise

I was stuck on a conference  call the other day at work.  It was supposed to be an in depth discussion of part of what I sell and ended up being the reiteration of a presentation I’ve seen twice.  Yawn.  So, I was doodling on a notepad and on a bored whim, did one of [...]

LOL

One of my favorite parts of this whole blog thing is seeing the queries people enter that bring it up in search results.
Today I had a good chuckle over this:
Lazy people on disability.
Ha.
NOT IT!

A little Labor Day post on my labors

If I’d known ten years ago that I would have rheumatoid arthritis today, oh the things I would do!  I would spend a small fortune on couture 5 inch hooker heels and prance around in them EVERYDAY until I started having problems.  Going to the carwash?  Awesome- silver 4 inch Loubatin’s just to make a [...]

The worst response EVER

I’ve been talking more and more to my friends about my RA- they’re awesome and want to know as much as I’m willing to share which is somewhat of a shock to me.  Did I say already that they’re awesome?  Anyways, one of them asked me how people react when they find out about my [...]

Feeling good…I think

I’m afraid to say definitely because the past few months have been like being on a roller coaster with a stomach full of candy apples, corn dogs, and blue slushy.  Blllleeeeecccchhh.  Don’t you appreciate my visuals?
I like my job.  It’s nice to have a job where I don’t have to manage anyone, have measurable goals [...]

A Little Self Conscious

So, I know I’ve talked about how I wait with guys to mention RA until either it comes up naturally or I decide they’re worthy of knowing.  But, until now, unless you’re dating me, I’m actually very open with my RA because why not, you know?

I’m still here….

Just majorly in transition right now and kinda freaking out.  You see, I’ve been in Greenville for 11 years.  I moved there in 1998 to go to college and just never left.  I knew moving was going to rock my world but I didn’t imagine I would be this on edge.  But I like my [...]
