Bits n Pieces
Feel like I'm starting to really come around healthwise again (lets forget August shall we) & then whamo, I find out thru talking at someone at the gym that there is some sort of flu going around relating to tummy/intestinal type thing. Major paranoia is now setting in. Do I become a hermit for abt a month or just go thru my days with an almost OCD approach to staying sanitized so to speak. Shots for flu are not avail here till end of Oct beginning of Nov & they usually are for the serious flu season which hits right after Christmas, so I seem to remember being told. Either way I don't think they're affective for this type of thing. Maybe I'm wrong?????????
Does anyone else with Lupus ever get this scared when something is going around?
Aaahhh, family. Does anyone ever notice how often life can seem to go all over better with just dear friends around you then family. I seem to do more head shaking over family members ways & acting & thinking then I ever do with my dear friends especially here on DS. So many things they say and/or do I wish I could take them out of themselves & make them watch it thru anothers eyes. I wonder if they'd even be aware of what they actually said and/or did.
I've got one sister that sometimes can be somewhat selfish. I know her bouts with depression can alter life a lot but even otherwise they are more takers then givers & I never really ask that much of her. But 90% of the time you can always expect to be dissapointed. I'm seriously starting to wonder if it's time I start saying more No to their requests but I like to think I'm a bit better then that towards those that I love. But I'm more & more thinking that I have to stop some jumping for them (I don't always jump as it is thats for sure). Oh well, family huh.
Hubby is over at his son's today, helping him with his house so I've got the whole place to myself, at least till mid afternoon. Man does that feel good sometimes.
