"for use with OHM"...

Because of the Lupus... I have learned to work around "how many spoons I have"... for that day.

Case in point...

It's 3am... and I can't sleep.

I can't sleep because my back is hurting and my joints are hurting... and I really don't have anything to take that will help... and that won't knock me out for an undetermined amount of time.

I should be able to sleep.... as I've been up all day... did the "usual" chores... ran some errands, etc.

So... I am sitting in bed with heat packs in appropriate places... sipping pain tea (a concoction of herbs for pain)... and doing what work I can ... knowing that at some point... I will fall asleep... no doubt sleeping during the day... losing "normal" work time... so I am doing as much as I can now.

It's tricky... because I want to do what I can... without doing too much... and causing more fatigue and pain down the road... and yet... enough that I can offset not being asleep now... and potentially sleeping later.  

Anyway.

So. I am trying to be all zen-like... resting.... yet being productive... 

and it occurred to me... that this (photo above) would be excellent for a post.... and so it goes :)

I took this photo at the Albuquerque Railyards.
