Today is a very hot day.  When I left this morming for work it was already 79 degrees and twenty minutes later when I got to work it was 86.  Work was slow and easy today, not too much to do and the phone didn't ring a whole lot so I was not overly worn out when I left, but I did not feel like stopping at the store to pick up my medication.  Good thing becasue when I got home I pulled up my laptop and began creating what I call a Medication Order Form.  It is to keep track of medication names, doses, when I last ordered it, when I picked it up, and how many refills and until what date.  I was so happy about getting that done.  Now I just need to remember it and use it. 

I was weak and tired from the heat and just rested on my bed all afternoon watching baseball and doing things on the computer-like playing solitaire.  I do that a lot because it keeps me busy but I don't have to think.  What actually happened today, now that I remember, is I finished my form and forgot what-if anything-else I was going to do so I played solitaire until I got too tired.  Read a little in my new "The Autoimmune Connection" book.  The print is kinda small and I got tired reading so I watched Family Feud until dinner.  I also started logging into DailyStrength to see what it's all about. 

It will be nice to talk with others that have autoimmune hepatitis and other diseases that understand the confusion, and ups and downs of the diseases. 

I thank God that He gives me strength everyday to do things and function.  I am concerned about what other body functions will be attacked, but I am not obsessing over it.  If it happens, well, it happens.  Right now, I am alive, functioning, working, seeing my kids and grandkids, taking care of my 81 year old mother, happily married and love life.
