Chronic Illness Week

Check out the sick meter!
One of the articles on the chronic illness website had the following quote: "Living with an invisible chronic illness can mean constantly trying to redefine your condition. We can't keep up with the rest of the world, and yet the world sees no excuse for our lack of participation."
I'm really feeling that this week. I'm jetlagged like you wouldn't believe, yet back at work and trying desperately to catch up, get un-packed from the trip, clean the house because the step-kids are coming over this weekend, get my taxes done on time, work out strategies to foil the evil plans of the psycho ex-wife etc. etc etc and etc etc etc some more. I'm exhausted, and I just want to sleep, not do all this other stuff that other people think I should be doing, things that if I was healthy, I would be doing.
One day I hope they can invent a simple "sick meter" that I can carry around and show people - "hey look at this gizmo! I really AM sick!"
