Here's to partners and family and friends who allow us to be and to be supportive of that different person.

A Canadian friend, not seen for years, was in town for a conference and I had to say no, I can't see you - it's too much for me to do.

It is hard to explain that even having someone over requires (regardless of what they say!) some cleaning up which I do not have the strength to do.

Today is 'one of those days' where I am accomplishing too little work and am too tired and realizing there are not yet any real helps for my symptoms.

Here's to us and each other.
