I apologize for my lengthy leave of absence on my blog. There has been dissention in my body – lupus complications plague me. I’m running on a lupus hamster wheel (and not losing any weight in the process – thank you very much).
Tears blurred my sight as I lost bearing of the blade on my knife as I chopped romaine lettuce. Everything in my body hurt – lupus pain was in rare form last tonight. I let myself cry away as I risked slicing a finger, mistaking it for a carrot or tomato.
