30 Things About My Invisible Illness http://www.cranberryteatime.com/2013/09/30-things-2013.html

Adelaide is sitting on the floor happily playing with my blood presure cuff. She has no idea that most children don't have real bp cuffs, pulseox meters, and stethoscopes to play with.

After 6 months I am mostly unpacked and settled into our new place. Hopefully in another 6 months the unpacking will be complete. I'm slow, but I'm getting there.

Happy 2011! Do you have any goals for this year?
-
My goal is to simplify. As my health continues to decline, I find that I have too much stuff that is no longer useful to me. In 2011 if it is not useful, beautiful, or sentimental, it goes away. I need a simpler, easier home life so that I can focus on what truly matters - my friends, my family, and my relationship with God.
-
Your health and the last three things are the only things that really matter.I pray for better days for you. God Bless.

awe... thanks rachel!!!! i think keeping humor in my life helps me deal with this disease.... as it seems to be my number one coping mechanism. I am a huge cut up when im feeling good...... and well, we all know that laughter is the best medicine!!! thank you though... i do really like my pic... it is quite fun! i was making my daughters halloween costume (i love making homemade costumes and i am rather amazing at it!!!) so i was cutting up...

I think you would be so much fun to hang out with in real life. If only you lived in Georgia!
What did you make for your children for costumes? I made costumes for my children this past fall too. My son was Wall-E, and my daughter was a ladybug. It was lots of work, but so much fun to see them dressed up.

My fatigue and muscle weakness continue to progress, and I continue to struggle with migraines. I am scaling back on my already substantially limited activity level. I am seeking to live well with dysautonomia and focusing on being a wife and a mother to the best of my ability. I won't be doing much volunteer work for DINET, but you will still find me online, whether on the DINET facebook page, the forum, or on my blog. You are always welcome to visit me in these places!
