If you’ve been wondering where I’ve for the past year+, well, I’ve been here. I would think about this blog often and think of ways to write about what’s been happening. In fact I have about 20 drafts waiting for me to finish and post. *sigh* So what’s been happening? Nothing much on the LUPUSContinue reading “Ever feel badly that you don’t feel badly? “

Why so “meh”? There are no answers today…
Hi. Remember me? Yeah, I’ve been quiet. It’s generally been a “meh” kind of life lately. Why? Let’s see… The holidays were challenging and it was around this time last year that I spoke of my life change. I suppose it’s been a long time since then, but I feel much has not been accomplished evenContinue reading “Why so “meh”? There are no answers today…”
Tah-Daaaaah!!! I did a 5K!
I completed my first real 5K last Sunday. I say ‘real’ because it was a timed race! As I’ve written about in my blog, I’ve been doing a lot of walking lately and done some ‘practice’ race walks, so I figured this would be a great way to cap it off. First off: What anContinue reading “Tah-Daaaaah!!! I did a 5K!”
Thank you!
Since my last post, I found out that I was nominated for a WEGO Health Activist award for “Best Kept Secret”. This is very humbling and strange because I generally think no one knows about the little wolf hunter! I have no idea who nominated me, but it is really appreciated. It lets me know that I amContinue reading “Thank you!”
A journey and many discoveries
As we go through life, there are many things we push aside in favour of prioritising what our lives are ‘supposed’ to be.
Can a bad thing can be the best thing for your health?
Again, it’s been a long time since I’ve posted here. My emotional energy has been so depleted for the past few months that I could never bring myself to share “doom and gloom” with you. In my last post, I shared a bit about a life change I was going through and trying to figure outContinue reading “Can a bad thing can be the best thing for your health?”
When the rug gets pulled out from under you
Sometimes when you’ve lived with a chronic illness for a long time you generally “know the drill”. It almost seems that even when things get a little wonky, you are somehow able to pull yourself together (my favourite keyword: ‘adjust’) to get back on track. The normal types of stresses are quickly identified: work getsContinue reading “When the rug gets pulled out from under you”
Everything in slow motion
It’s been about two weeks since my last post but I’m still here! My brain and my body have been less-than cooperative. I’ve continued to be fatigued and in pain. Turtle-mode is my new speed (which I do not like very much). Oh have I been wishing for teleportation! My energy is so low that moreContinue reading “Everything in slow motion”
The decision cycle when your lupus isn’t stable
There is always a back-and-forth and a need to be flexible when you have lupus. Things change! I believe for many of us, there is a decision-making process that goes into many of our activities, especially when we are not feeling so hot. I was thinking about this over the past week or so asContinue reading “The decision cycle when your lupus isn’t stable”
Living with lupus and living with(out) limits
There is a learning process for figuring out your ‘limits’. Not just when you are newly diagnosed, but also when your lupus changes!
