Reflections from the other side

I know I know, the title sounds morbid. I’m not dying. By other side, I mean remission, because we did it. I am still in remission and have been for a whole year now. It’s been a long time since I have written in this blog. I think a part of it was exhaustion becauseContinueContinue reading “Reflections from the other side”

You are not a burden

Recently NY Times released an article titled “Is it OK to Dump Him Because of His Medical Condition” (which you can read here). While the letter writer seems to be in a new relationship, her concerns are valid.

Well friends, we got the flu

Ah flu season, the time of year no one likes. Especially people with autoimmune disorders. Last year your girl was on top of it and got her flu sit early, managing to overall miss flu season. This year, your girl was lazy and kept putting it off and Karma bit her in the ass. NowContinueContinue reading “Well friends, we got the flu”

I’m going to Europe!

Guys this month has been so hectic. Last month of school for kids is always a gong show, meaning long days and energy levels next to nothing. But we got through it all and on top of it all successfully weaned off of prednisone! It’s been officially three weeks and I haven’t regressed. This drugContinueContinue reading “I’m going to Europe!”

Where did time go?!

Holy smokes guys, How has it literally been just shy of a month?! Time has FLOWN by. I am down to 14 days left of work before the summer holidays (working in a school perks). I knew I had been slacking a bit, but I didn’t think a whole darn month had gone by! ButContinueContinue reading “Where did time go?!”
