You guys! I am super excited about this. I am working on a very big project. A little while ago, I was talking to my therapist about how hard it was being where I am with my RA and lupus. Right now, we’re still waiting to see if my new medications will work. I’m not working. I’m stuck at home. I can’t go outside much during the day because of my super sun sensitivity. I can’t go out much at night because I need sleep. It’s a lot of watchful waiting stuck at home, and I don’t feel very productive.

The other thing that’s hard is that what I can do changes from day to day.

It’s really hard to have a routine when you don’t know what you’ll be able to do from one day to the next. Most of the time, I end up feeling like I’m just sitting around waiting to get better. It’s not very beneficial for my mental and emotional health.

So… I came up with something!

Sneak peak! This is just a little bit of it.

I came up with a system to give me a flexible routine. And I love it! But it gets better! While I was building my flexible routine system, I realized I was starting to define different levels of functionality. What?! That is super useful. I color coded those different levels, and now I can use them (1) to communicate to my family what’s going on with me on a given day, and (2) to track what is going on with my level of functionality over a period of time. How cool is that?

But wait… there’s more!

I couldn’t keep this all to myself! The more I worked on my system, I realized this could really help a lot of other people. So, I am currently working on bringing it to all of YOU so you can use it too!!

Love and gentle hugs! ❤
