So it's Monday morning and I'm home, not at work...because I'm once again unemployed.  Something that happens once every few years and disrupts any attempts at getting ahead that we're working on...

This time a temp position that ended rather abruptly...notice would've been nice? I will find another job, I know this.  And I'm telling myself that it will happen soon and that I'm not going to let it stress me...because RA is like a big flippin mood ring that's taken over. 

Funny thing the first places RA reared it's ugly head were family weekend trips to our hometown a few hours away....we often go for birthdays or holidays and it seemed like everytime we went my shoulder would go crazy. The only relief came from a very hot shower/bath.

Now I know the pain is RA and that stress is a huge trigger for me....

Today as I'm "unemployed" again...my whole body is stiff and some joints are sore...not dibilitating...just enough to slow me down. 

I know there are tons of things I need to do but here I am on the pc debating my next move....feeling like I could just go back to bed.

So I guess I'm just sharing thoughts....and wondering how to disconnect the feelings I don't even admit to myself...from the RA that seems to know them anyway and reacts accordingly???
