I have the Exhaustion again, which I think explains why I've been kind of negative lately, even though things are going well for me mostly. I need a better way to manage remembering appointments since I missed two of them in August. That is serious business to me. I also would like to be better at letting things go.

Apparently it is "Invisible Illness Week". Here is your thought for the day from The American Chronic Pain Association.


We all have basic rights. Among these are the right to be treated with respect, to say no without guilt, to do less than humanly possible, to make mistakes, and to not need to justify your decisions, with words or pain.


Right now I'm reading the very excellent Pattern Recognition: A Dialog on Racism in Fan Communities which is part of the newly published (and free) Transformative Works and Cultures.

Highly recommended.

Also? Indicative of the Exhaustion: I had to edit the HTML in this entry 4 times.

ETA The meme that is going around for Invisible Illness week can be found here: http://invisibleillnessweek.com/?p=2301
I may fill out part of it later, but I want to say:
Anyone who writes, "12. If I had to choose between an invisible illness or visible I would choose:"
Is a DOUCHE.

There, I said it. Would you rather be poked in the eye, or in the kidney?

Because I can come over there and poke you in both the eye and the kidney. Just give me a sharp stick.
