Listening

-
I have a confession to make: I listen to books on tape. It's a rather geeky thing to do as audio books, in this region, are considered to be only for children who are learning to read or the elderly with weak eyes. But I don't have too much access to books unless I buy them. I don't always have the money for books, but I love reading novels. So when I found a website where I can cheaply listen to audio books, I happily obliged. Honestly, it is one of the best things I've done for myself. While I like reading, listening to books means I can continue stories while I do things such as work on this blog, paint, or close my eyes and just relax. So far I've listened to quite a few books with excellent results. :)

I know I'm not the first when I say 'I don't want to be alone in this disease.' I don't think anyone has ever said, 'I want to fight this alone,' and actually meant it. It's an ongoing thing that never seems to end, with surprises at every corner. I couldn't go on if it weren't for the wonderful people behind me. I know that for a fact because there was a point when I had almost no one. I did it almost alone for a long time. I had my mum, and she had me. Even then, sometimes there was a wall of fatigue between us. I was newly diagnosed and was taking methotrexate. It ...
