Sleep, Sleep, Sleep…

Jeanne — Tue, 10 Jan 2012 14:26:53 +0000

There is so much I want to do. There is so much I want to say. My body, however, won’t cooperate with my wishes… and that’s OK. No matter how much there is to do. No matter how much there is to say. It will all have to wait for another day. Right now… all [...]

My online time has been extremely limited due to many factors. The primary reason is that I’ve been unbelievably busy in this way… (Image above via Cool Text) It’s a joke. Just a joke! Just kidding! I know… It’s a wee bit early for April Fool’s jokes, isn’t it? Seriously, though, even if I were [...]

Mountain Climbing Time!

Jeanne — Wed, 14 Dec 2011 22:03:26 +0000

When I speak of mountain climbing here, I am not referring to the literal climbing of mountains. (Though I must say that it may feel literal to those living with chronic illness!) Instead, “mountain climbing” (as used here in a figurative sense) refers to the various obstacles, challenges, and difficulties that face people living with [...]
