Getting To Know Me...

Hello. :) My Name is Cathy. It's nice to be here, at "Daily Strength". I have already joined my first Support Group. :) Hidradenitis Supperativa. A condition I've suffered with for 5 "long" years. It can be quite frustrating at times. Sometimes I hardly know it's there, while other times it can be quite painful. I try not to dwell on it, but recently another showed up on my right groin. My left groin hasn't healed since my last surgery. I am extremely frustrated today.  Aside from all of that, let me tell you a little bit more about me, and my interests. I am 41, married to a wonderful husband, for 13 years. We don't have any children, but I do have a passion for donatng to charity. Some of my favorites are: "Wish Upon A Hero", "Make A Child Smile", "Toys For Tots" (I donated 200 toys and teddy bears this year) Demelza House Children's Hospice, The Pencil Project, and lots more.  I am unemployed at the moment, and have been since May. I have been doing Data Entry for 18 years, and it seems to have become a dying breed. It's not that I don't enjoy being home, but the money situation never helps. Unemployment only pays me 152.00 a week. Enough for gas and food shopping, and maybe a weekend Movie. So like most people out there looking for a job, I am in the same boat. Well, that is my introduction! I will be writing in my Journal daily, it is now 5:51 AM and I have begun my day. I am one of those people who like to Live Life To It's Fullest, Every Second Of The Day, No Matter What Crap, Life Throws At Me. And this is one of those times. Stay tuned for more "Breaking News". :)
