Well my life is abt as stable as it will get for a while I suppose. Somehow though I feel like I can't truly attain wellness & peace until my hubby's biopsy is finished, over, done with, etc. etc. I'm still trying to solely focus on the positive but those darn negatives keep finding their way forward. I hope that the Lord can see through the muddle in my heart & sort things out accordingly. I'm gonna postpone going off the prednisone until we know whats going on for sure to be on the safe side. So far I'm handling the stress pretty well & I pray that I can keep this balance going as it could be vital in the future. The cat shelter I'm at now is having an open house next weekend & I spent all day at my sister's house baking for the bake sale. She's so super organized & efficient that she made all the baking a total breeze. Should help us raise lots of money for the shelter I hope. I found out our vet bills for Sept & Oct totalled $9,000. I didn't think the day would wear on me that much & so often I find that on days kind of like this as long as I keep moving it's fine but when I stop, whamo, it really hits me. One thing I find with me that I really can have trouble with so easily is eye fatigue but I guess it can be tied in with the whole Lupus thing.

I\'m glad to hear you are postponing the pred. withdrawal. that will help you deal with one thing at a time. I know you feel -- you are like me sister, -- if one thing is wrong, you have a hard time letting it go (naturally!) and enjoying yourself in the meantime. I know that lupus does weird things to me. it\'s hard to explain it to others, so I try to avoid that. like if they see me lugging in groceries, it\'s hard to explain to them that I can\'t also go sled riding or whatever (only one thing per day usually).
well, please take it easy and know that I\'m praying for you and your hubby. keep us posted please. = )
