Lupus Flare

First…let me just say that Lupus sucks.

I am in a battle with insurance and secondary copays with my Actemra shots. I have been without my shot for two weeks, and I can honestly say I haven’t felt this bad in a long while. I have five mouth sores, swollen joints and severe fatigue.

Ugh. I have to function. I have to go to the max every day. I can’t have this happen. What makes me even more frustrated is the fact that I can’t contact the insurance companies but during the day–my work day!

Can someone say “screw me”?! But really though!!

Life in the moment:

I am tired, fatigued, I hurt…physically…emotionally drained. And completely done.

Little Things

My Passion Planner focus for this week.  I will say that I make the bed (or the last person out of the bed-mainly David) daily.

It calms me when I walk back into my bedroom seeing it neatly done.  The pets will mostly mess up the pillows that are on top of the comforter as they claim it as their own. 

We had just washed my quilt…Dexter claims it to be his.

It gives me an overall accomplished feeling.  I like that this is a proven task.

Now to get on all of the other things I should be doing…but for now…this is enough.

Blessings.

Master

I fail at something everyday…

Someone once told me that the day you stop learning should be the day you die.  I pray that I learn something everyday and fail (well, not always).

Salmon

I love fish.  Eating fish–any kind of fish:  sushi, fried, sauteed, grilled.  I have been craving fish lately, and had some amazing salmon marinated with Dale’s Seasoning.  It was grilled, and truly yummy.

Our grill is a charcoal grill, and not the best when you just want to quick grill something.  So we decided to pan sear them.  I marinated the salmon filet’s in about 1/2 cup of Dale’s Reduced Sodium Seasoning for about one hour.We just pan seared them, skin side down in a bit of olive oil.Cook on the skin side first (about a third of the way through), and flip just to finish the cooking (maybe two minutes maximum).Hint from Gordon Ramsey: score the salmon skin before cooking will ensure that the fish won’t curl up during cooking.  It worked (like I question him and his suggestions – ha).img_1074My plate with a bit of jasmine rice, an roasted snow peas.  This will be my go to recipe for Salmon for a while.

Slack

Step back and look at what you are doing from another point of view.

Everyone’s journey is different. I say this to our children as their paths are different from their friends. And I say this to myself with work, weight loss and with my Lupus struggles.

Count your blessings. It helps remind ourselves of what we have done not what needs to be done.
