That’s an awesome reminder! You’re right – we so often get caught up in all the things we HAVE to do that we forget no one’s holding a gun to our heads.

I’m going to tattoo this on my forehead!

Great thinking. I will try that sometimes. Some mornings, I literally have to drag myself into the office.

Glad teaching is going well. It’s hard to get through routine days when flares happen, isn’t it? Glad you went on to school, sure it was a productive day in the end.

I love how allowing ourselves to have an “out” can help us stay “in” more easily. Many’s the time I’ve almost decided to call in sick, then went ahead and toughed it out. It’s as if the mind relaxes, somehow.

I’m glad that you’ve been successful in convincing your body to save up the hard parts of the flares for a time when you’re more able to cope with them. Incredible, that is, and such a triumph! I’m also glad you’re enjoying teaching, RA Guy. It’s all so very good.

That said, I also wish your rheuma would just give you a good, long break from pain, too. Sending warm thoughts your way …
