Some People Can Be Such Assholes

 Hi Everyone!

Yesterday I received and email from a person who is NOT part of our beautiful blogging community. This person happened on my blog and started reading posts. I don't know if it is a man or woman, they didn't have the guts to sign it.  I did delete it but as I thought about it, I wanted to share it with all of you. I feel sorry for this person and hope whoever it is, never has to face an autoimmune disease. The email was quite snarky and said I was a liar and faking it about lupus. That I was just looking for sympathy. 

Hmmmm really? That is not me at all.

I get up everyday weather I can or not. Everyday I have to force myself to get things done. When I write a post about eggs, or canning, or whatever, it has taken me days to get one thing done.

If you have lupus, ra, fibro, or any other autoimmune you know how tired you are all the time.

It is NOT a tired that a nap will take care of.

A flare can happen at any time.

lupus

 

 Lupus is a chronic autoimmune disease that causes the body's immune system to attack its own tissues and organs.  

Right now lupus is attacking my stomach and bladder. EVERYTHING or ANYTHING  I eat hurts.

 

I have always been a lupus warrior. I fight everyday to have a life, to do things, be happy, even when it feels like I'm dying.

So to the person who wrote, yes, I'm lying and faking it.

Fun time with my SIL

 Hi Everyone!

I am so happy to have my brother and SIL living a few hours from me. Mr. M. and I spent the day with them at their place and we had the best time. Linda, my SIL, is like me as far as canning, freeze drying, and oh she has 19 amazing chickens. So we trade with each other. I have to say I get the better end of the deal. Look at all of these eggs she gave me. 102 fresh eggs from her chickens. I will freeze some and I am going to do the water glassing.

Here is the chicken coop. Serious egg laying in this place.

and the play area. Ha ha that's what I call it.

My beautiful SIL I'm right behind her. We are getting ready to gather eggs. I think we got 18 that time.

The chickens are so cool. 

I wish I could have some at my place.

Linda has 19 very good laying chickens.  

She lets them out so they can free grange and they all come home when they are done.

 To get to my brother's place we drive south having to go through Coos Bay. This town is still a working logging port and when the wood is in and they make saw dust it smells so good.

The day was overcast and rainy, as usual for winter.	2 convyer belts were working yesterday

 

I don't know if you can see the logs in the water. you can click on any photo to see it bigger.

 

Well, I'm off to make fish and chips for Mr. M. and I am have a rich beef veggie soup I made earlier today.

Hope you enjoyed the post.
