taking a break once in a while is not bad at all. and now you need it. good luck. just enjoy.

i have no rest with a toddler at home, and working 3 days a week (every other day) helping my hubby in our store (driving an hour). i really get no time for myself. but when the weather is so bad, i leave everything and just stick to bed when i am home, keeping all the work pending. next day i complete all the work again when i feel good. taking break always helps.

today weather is so bad. going to snow again tomorrow. feeling very fatigued and pains in my elbows, toes, and fingers. i will try to feel good.

I hope you both have really great days.

As I'm having a pretty good day with my hands... although I do feel the weather moving in.. I'm washing my bedding and made cookies! Trying to make the king sized bed with really sore hands is not fun, so try and do it on good days! Wanted peanut butter cookies, so did that also! Everybody have a wonderful day!

Thanks RCross, sometimes we need to just stop and take a day to ourselves. Donnarae, I agree with you about making that king size bed with sore hands. i have a queen and it feels jigunduous when I try to make it myself. I usually recruit the help of one of my boys. I hope you guys have a good pain free week. Madhuri, I know it is difficult with the weather. I feel the changes as well with the precip coming. I give you a lot of credit when it comes to caring for a toddler and having RA. I know sometimes both must take all the strength you can muster. you have to take breaks. Try to find some time to squeeze in for yourself. You deserve it.

Thank you so much! Hope you had a pain free day!

Had a fabulous day, thanks for the precursor! Cleaned out my make up drawer, got rid of a massive amount of stuff. Cleaned my drawers, again got rid of a lot of stuff. Its 9:30 pm and my hand is letting me know I may have overdone, but the hell with it: it felt good just to feel somewhat normal! Trish

same to you!!!
