Fibromyalgia. Today my goal is to wash my sheets and make my bed. It's a king size so it tires me out just making it!

I've been wiping down the kitchen and bathroom countertops and sinks before bed so I stay on top of the grime. I use Mrs. Meyer's counter top spray so I enjoy the smell. It does make it easier to tackle.

I learned that I have the blood marker for lupus. Not sure if that means I will get it or not...hope not. No one in my family has it..
