I love Edvard Munch and I love this painting. That’s all.
Let it snow.

Wrist-y Business
Just published: “Wrist-y Business”
My right wrist has been flaring up badly since the end of September. I’ve been trying to not panic, but this wrist has a long history of inflammation, pain, and damage. I’m getting it X-rayed today, actually. I suspect an MRI will follow. You can read more about my wrist “journey” in the article if you wish.
I hope everyone is doing well out there, despite the stress of the holidays!
Thank You, RA!
HAPPY THANKSGIVING, ALL!
Here’s a Thanksgiving-inspired article I wrote for RheumatoidArthritis.net three years ago. I wasn’t able to get my act together to write one in time this year, so this will have to do! I still agree with it.
Happy Feet
I was just in NYC for almost two weeks and I feel that this little pair of shoes deserves a BIG shout-out: THANK YOU, KEENS, FOR SAVING MY TRIP!
Golden Years

Twenty-two years is a long time. It’s especially long to live with chronic pain and illness. But I can still remember my pre-pain life, for good or bad.
October Self-Care
“When what you’re used to is irretrievably gone, it’s hard to believe in something new.” —Rachel Cusk
Reading is one of my favorite forms of self-care. It’s relaxing, and being able to escape into a book is a way to escape the pain and sickness of RA–even if just for a little bit.
Here’s an article I wrote back in March about RA and reading: “RA Reading List”
Happy Fall Reading!
