On the flip side, the weather was beautiful and sunny and breezy again. I spent some time outside today pondering solutions. Bump what I can and prioritize, prioritize, prioritize.

Awwww Jennifer I am so sorry you have such a overflowing plate.. Can any of the appts be spread out ??? I know thats hard when it comes to medical appts. I have a yearly planner I take to all our medical appt so I can see if we have appts and I try to do more than one a week.. Our Regular GP we do same appt time, Steve can be sick and if they ask him how he is he will say " im okay" DOH!
Keep using all the coping skills you can and YES self care is as important as sleeping and eating
