I received another jury duty summons yesterday in the mail. I got a summons in October right in the middle of my first Lupus flare. I was able to get out of it then due to illness but I didn't think I would get another so soon. I do not normally think jury duty is a bad thing. In fact, I would like to do it at some point. However, right now I do not think its a good idea. I am still trying to get used to my new meds and I am trying to see how I am affected by light. I am going to ask for an exception. If I can get them to excuse me until we move back to Maryland that would be great.
As for moving, there is a lot of planning involved so I am going to be pretty busy these next few months. On the 27th I am meeting with my Rheumy and then I should know what date works for the move. Hoping to get transferred to Johns Hopkins Lupus Center. I want to make sure we move in between appointments and I do not want to have to wait to meet my new doctor for too long. So not only will I be doing normal things like finding daycare, a pediatrician, family doctor and dentist, but I will also have to find a dermatologist, optamologist, rheumatologist, and I'm sure others.
Weekend plans include outlet shopping and yoga followed by Ravens football. So ready for some relaxing with my family and friends.

Made it to Hump Day
I made it to Wednesday working full days. I am exhausted! I am busy catching up but I am also done with that. Today was spent on mandatory training, which might be why I am so tired... those are super draining.
I am lucky to have the job I do. While I was on sick leave they turned out the lights in my office as a reasonable accommodation for the lupus symptom of sensitivity to florescent lighting. Like most people, my workplace is covered in florescent lighting. Almost everywhere you go you have to deal with it. Before I returned to work I went to Macy's and the lighting bothered me so much I thought I was going to have a stroke. I got a headache, my eyes wouldn't stop blinking, vision blurred and I thought I was going to vomit. I'm thinking this happened because of the lights but who knows for sure.
The only thing bothering me in my office now is the computer screen. Not sure if its the brightness or the jumpy mouse but I have to figure that out. Maybe its the font size. Guess I know what I am doing tomorrow.
Today's Blessing: Having lunch with my husband and Jackson. It was great to see his little smiling face midway through my day. A little pick-me-up. I wish his daycare was closer so I could pop by more often.
