Weekends

Referring back to my last post about sleep, I am the kind of person who uses my weekends and days off to rest.  A lot of people like to do as much as they can, to either get things done, or do something fun.  This weekend, and most weekends, I like to sleep late, catch up on my DVRed shows, and maybe watch a movie, read, or work on school work.

Once in a while, I will go away for a weekend or have a lot planned, and by the time I have to go to work Monday morning, I'm exhausted.  I tend to space busy weekends out so I don't get too run down.

What do you like to do on weekends?  Do you like to sleep late and relax?  Or do as much as you can while you have the time off?

Cushing's Awareness Challenge - Day 4

I have often said, I wish I had cancer instead.  Most people would not understand this sentiment, why in the world would you wish for such a horrible disease?  
It is another common thread tying people with chronic illness together. If my disease was cancer, everyone would know what it was.  I wouldn't be questioned by my boss when I called in sick.  My friends and family would be more supportive.  My doctors wouldn't question my symptoms.
Maybe my life would be easier.
But, maybe this would not be true.  I am not looking to find out.  Chronic illness is lonely.  It seems, from the outside, that cancer is not.  Most people know someone with cancer.  Most people know what cancer involves.  Endless appointments, surgeries, maybe even chemotherapy or radiation.  Cancer is life threatening. Did you know that a lot of chronic illnesses involve all of the same things?  
With Cushing's, a lot of people have multiple surgeries.  I have had 3 directly related to Cushing's, and…
