Wednesday, Must stay motivated


 The real problem is that I am not really afraid of failure.  It just means I start over, right?

I was a busy girl yesterday and today will be no different. Two wedding dress, one to finish and one to start.  I have a fitting tomorrow at 11:00 for the later dress.

The shop was busy with several clients yesterday and today will be no different.

Sissie is busy cleaning my kitchen, because I have not done the dishes for two days.  I do not count cereal bowls as dishes.  My house desperately needs a deep clean, as in floors and base boards, dusting, windows.  But alas that is for another time. Today I have to go up the hill and pick up Will and Kelsa, for lessons.  Mom will pick them up later.  I also have a piano lesson.

The first order of business is to get those dresses done!  I don't think I will be able to get to any piles today.  I will save that for tomorrow.  There is nothing in the sale adds to tempt me at all, so groceries this week.

I am still listing things on Facebook marketplace, but sales have slowed down.  That is okay I can be patient. It is 1/2 way through January, and I have done really well on the grocery challenge so far.  It is the other bills that have opened my eyes, like the dog, and medical.  Don't even get me started on medical, it is just too discouraging.

Tomorrow, I have a rheumatology appt. and I am sure I will be switched to a different med and that always brings about concerns.  But I am not going to buy trouble.  Just too many break through flairs, and I have been on this T-biologic for 8 years which is pushing the limits for any of these drugs. I am having so much more pain.  Shoulders, hips, general body aches.  I mostly ignore them but find myself reaching for the Aleve bottle at least once a day, which I have never done before.

We will see.

I will report.  I might be crying while I do it.

😂

God is good, insurance companies are not good.

    1. Well thank you. I have pretty high pain tolerance, so I usually just ignore it.

  3. Insurance companies are horrible. I hope you find some relief from the pain soon.

    1. I think there needs to be a lot more regulation on insurance companies.

  4. I hope you get some relief soon. My back and hips have been killing me lately. I don't like using meds so have been using the heating pad and some mint salve.

    God bless.

    1. I already take so much medication I just hate adding to it.

  5. Sorry to hear about the pain. I've been taking Aleve for about a year, but mostly at night, because of back pain (unrelated to lupus). It sucks regardless & I hope the doctor has a good plan for you! (Hawaii Planner)

  6. Fingers crossed that whatever regime your doc has for you will give you more relief.
    Piles can wait!

  7. Sometimes, I think only death will relieve the all-over pain I have. Then, I figure I will hurt after I die!

  8. Insurance and medical costs are the Americans scourge. It seems we're all an illness away from poverty every day. I hope your listings get traction. I need to purge and it'd be great to sell, but will likely just donate to get out of the house.

    1. I never thought I would be in the position where medical insurance that pays for nothing would take 1/3 of my income. But I am going to persevere.
