Dreaded Winter Season

Winter means the heater is kicked into high gear which in turn will drastically increase flares from the dreaded Sjogren's.  Had a rude awaken this morning nose stopped up, joints flaming, mouth & throat bone dry, and thick mucus running down the back of my throat.

Hoping that the impending move back to the coast will help to relieve some of the flaring, since I seem to have less flares in the less congested coast.  Yes military traffic is bad but you guys haven't lived in Raleigh over 10 years it is far worse up here.

Still have a lot to still do up in Raleigh, paperwork, doctor appointments and more decisions that will effect the rest of my life.  We defiantly have to get out of this apartment no overtime means that my income is significantly less as is like almost $10,000 different and will be a lot less once I either run out of sick/vacation or cash that out and start receiving 50% of my pay on short term.   I have already been emailed paperwork for Long Term Disability, ugh decisions, decisions.   Less pay sadly doesn't mean less bills, I have dreaded logging in to UNC Healthlink to see the bill from the trip to the ER this month, I have a feeling I may break the $10,000 mark with the hospital.  Going to have to negotiate a much lower payment no way in hell I can pay $230 a month, I should qualify for assistance once I start only getting 50% of my paycheck....ugh

Seem to have less flares as long as I sleep during the day and up at night but there isn't much to do, hoping I can adjust my scheduling this December, hoping to spend the majority of that time on the coast.  At least I know more than likely Tonya and Randy will be up in the wee hours of the morning.   Tomorrow we have to go talk to the ding dongs at the apartment office about putting in our moving out notice because she apparently put in the computer our lease ends in March, I don't think so more like Jan.  Hopefully we will also get to go to the movies.
