Sometimes you just need a lazy day. I spent a good half of the day sleeping on Saturday. I accomplished nearly nothing and I'm okay with that. I felt very rested and ready to take on the week after my all-out-do-nothing day. It's a rare a occasion to get one of these, so I took full advantage and enjoyed myself as much as you can while sleeping. Having lupus, your body is just tired on a regular basis. A good lazy day is great medicine!

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
Yesterday I went out job hunting. I just moved to Texas and wanted to find a summer job to earn some extra cash. The searching lasted maybe 4-5 hours tops. When I got back home out of the heat, I was exhausted. A person in their twenties should be able to go a full day without needing rest, but that's not the case with me. So, I took a nap, only intending on it being and hour or so. It ended up being almost four. This is the main reason my sleep patterns are so out of whack. Some days I have the energy of a normal (non-lupus person) and other days it's almost non-existent. Chronic fatigue is no fun.
