My autoimmune disease has sapped both my energy and my strength - [View all]

it takes forever to get anything done! I'm doing better now, but for a while it was all i could do to fold a basket of laundry! As a result, my house shows a sever lack of housekeeping. Also - I haven't been able to do the gardening I'd like to do.

So - my youngest is home for a few weeks between ending college and starting her job, and she is cleaning my entire downstairs. My husband went out one afternoon and cleaned up a rose bed that had gotten totally away from me.

These are two things off my mind; it feels better already!

It's hard to let other people do things for you, but sometimes it's not only OK, it's the right thing to do!
