I had errands to do all week & I decided Friday was coat day. Probably should have gone earlier because it has been snowing. So I went after work. Actually getting the ( Read more... )

After having lupus flare up for 2 days (a medium sized one one, not like my every day symptoms) I did stay home Friday. Slept & read in bed all day. Feel like I am getting better. Trying to focus on how I went 2 months without anything that bad instead of feeling defective. By 2011 I was having these flares like this 3-4x a month & by 2013 it was ( Read more... )

Mom got a good night of sleep & sounded less frazzled though she still cannot say colonoscopy & keeps saying amnesia for anemia. She really has a mental block on ( Read more... )

Quiet New Year's Eve at home reading a book. AUDIN went to his favorite pub & read his book - Stalin & the bomb. I was reading an agent Pendergast novel. And drinking a sweet tea vodka martini.

Christmas morning AUDIN & I went out to a French cafe with our friends Sam & Sharon. The coffee was great & it was very quiet & relaxing. I think there was nutmeg in my omelet. It was good. Parking was great which is not usually the case on capital hill. Then we stopped by the Scandinavian store so he could get treats for his family & I got some ( Read more... )
