Now a Flood

I may or may not be updating for a few days to a week or more. We are getting ready to have another flood. We had one in september that was the worst the area had seen in 40 years-we had to evacuate. This one promises to be the same if not worse than that so this evening has been spent packing up and getting things ready. Our plan right now is to be out of here by 7am. And there is still so much to do! It is so late and I am so tired but there is a ton more work left to be done. One of my best friends came over to help and she was a tremendous help, I do not think she will ever know how much I appreciate her doing that tonite. She and I have been friends since we were three years old and I got her a job where I work so we are together all day every day and of course we have our squabbles like all friends do but crunch time we have always been there for each other, I do not think that will ever change. She was the first person I talked to after my doctor visit today which did not go well at all.

I went to the doctors office this morning to get the results of my latest blood work and for a follow up visit anyway it turns out I have SLE(systemic lupus) psoriatic arthritis and MCTD (mixed connective tissue disease) which I know nothing about and am wanting some time to investigate this farther. I do know that it means I have a multitude of other syndromes wrong such as raynaurds. As I learn more I will post more. I am going to quit here though as I am quite tired and quite depressed with the flood and evacuating and the diagnosis at the doctors office today-it simply was not a good day to be me!
