On The Lupie Side Of The Street

Well I think I might be back from the land of temporary sadness. I think all the stress from the past few weeks just came and dumped itself on me. Let's face it, we all have our bad days and yesterday felt beyond bad. You seriously cannot expect me to be peppy and optimistic every single day out of the year? I mean, of course you could but wouldn't that be a little bit unrealistic? I think we all should be allowed a bad day without having bad thoughts being thought about us. I think my bad day had been coming for a while and I just delayed giving into it. I'm still a little "off" feeling today, but life is getting better.

Recently, I've started talking to another woman whom I share a lot in common with. We met on Twitter, we both have lupus, and it turns out we have the same doctor! I know in this day in age one needs to be careful with online communication. But we've exchanged email addresses and shared our experiences, especially living with lupus. Because of her, I was sort of able to move through my slump yesterday. It seems as if she came into my life at the perfect time. I don't have many people in my life who truly understand what it's like to be me. I try to live my life as if I'm not dealing with a chronic illness. Sometimes though I have to talk to someone about it. So dear friend, if you are reading this, thank you. I know we have just initiated communication but it feels so great to have someone whom I can relate to.

Now Twitter friends, please don't be mad at me. I am also extremely thankful for your love and support. If some of you want to get to know me past the 140 characters that Twitter allows, send me a direct message. I love Twitter though because it can be so up to the minute. It's instant communication, with no delays for the most part (silly fail whale). When someone is doing great, you can share in their joy! When someone is feeling down, you can lift them up! It's a small support group in a way, especially if your fellow Tweeters are people who share your common interests. I'm also meeting more and more interesting people on Twitter with each passing day. And if you are following me on Twitter and we haven't chatted, I'm sorry! Feel free to @ me if you think I haven't talked to you in error.

It looks like it is about to rain here. I need to clean, can you tell, I clean every single day. I'm a neat freak, not OCD, I just prefer life to be organized. I then need to go on a walk, I was really bad this morning and had waffles, no syrup though, just a little bit of butter. I wish this weight I'm gaining would distribute itself. I think I am going to feel fat until it finally decides to make up it's mind where it's going to go. Oh and for those of you who are wondering how much I really weigh, I'm around 100 pounds, sometimes 98, sometimes 101. But I'm only 5'1 so it feels like a lot of weight for me.

I also think for a while there y'all weren't able to leave comments on here. I think I fixed it! A pop up box should come up and then you enter your information. So feel free to comment away!
