So, it's almost 4am and I still haven't been to sleep! I was getting super cranky about that because I am super tired! Then I had an aha moment of "being mad isn't going to help!"
So, although still cranky I am redirecting my energy...
Our Lupus awareness shirts came in the mail today! They are awesome! I have made a couple of bracelets!!! I will be painting my social media pages purple during the Month of May!
People need to know more about Lupus!!! They think that because for the most part we look fine, so we must not be that sick--- we are not fine & we are that sick!!! This "illness" eats away at us from the inside out!
Even though I can't sleep, tonight's twist is I am not having a pity party of one, I am having a planning party! Planning how I can educate people, how I can show them what not only the Lupie Warriors go through, but also what those close to us are experiencing! Oh, yes, it is difficult on the people close to us too, in sooooo many ways!
