I knew It had been a while since I made an entry here but 4 months? Wow.
Guess I'll start with my vacation this July. First one since contracting scleroderma. Spent a week in northern Ontario at a cottage resort with my daughter and her hubby - son also came up for a couple of days. Wonderful time, fresh caught fish every day, great weather, days spent sitting by the lake. Oh yeah.

August was fairly uneventful except that I now have a display of my artwork at a local studio. Sales are slow but hopefully will pick up as the holiday season approaches. Actually, I've had a couple of orders this past weekend so yipee.

September has meant I've been been very busy. Now  volunteering for the library doing one on one ESL, have taken on another ESL student through the Arthritis society where am currently teaching a 6 week program. There's also the work I do with the Scleroderma society and I'm taking a writing course which began last month and will end in April. Add in appointments and the lie and there's seldom a day when something's not going on. Not complaining though.
And speaking of appointments, saw GI doc today. Having some blood work done to check iron levels and vitamin D (because of prednisone). Also had doctor write a prescription for imodium which I take regularly to ward of chronic diarrhea. Aside from the diarrhea, my health is good as is life in general.
