Hello friends, As you may know, I suffered an MS relapse recently. I was hoping I would be better now, but I have not recovered. I do not know how long it will take me to get back to a workable baseline. Mostly, right now, I sleep. As soon as I know anything about my condition and when it might improve, I will update this thread. Power Hour is canceled for the forseeable future, and I am sorry. I will miss you all. I apologize for any inconvenience this causes. This is not how I prefer to work, but my body has made itself clear. Feel free to message me with any questions you may have about how we are going to go forward, and I will field them as efficiently as I can. Thank you for your patience. Love, Kristin

Hi all, I’m having an MS relapse, so I’m going to get steroids each morning for the next three days, which should help a lot! I say this because I will very likely be hit-or-miss on Power Hours. When I hop on, I’ll post on here so y’all can join!

I'm having a lame-o MS flare, but I hopped on Power Hour today anyway. Sometimes productivity is about "traditional" work, but for me, a lot of times it's about taking my meds, making my body as comfortable as it can get, and expressing myself. Yes, "put on socks" is on my list of to-dos. Why? Because if nobody's watching me, I will often just sit there with cold feet and be miserable! Same with pain meds. You read that right -- sometimes the effort of getting up and taking a pill seems too daunting, even though I'm hurting badly! Power Hour helps because when someone witnesses me promise to do a thing, I'm so much more likely to get it done. Peer pressure CAN be used for good, and today it was. So thank you @John McKellar for being with me today so I could put socks on and take my meds. I feel better now.

I know it's a holiday, but come hang out anyway! I'm gonna be relaxing, doing prescription drugs, and journaling.

I’m on the couch this Sunday journaling and reflecting, and I’d love to hear from y’all. What are you struggling with today? Any productivity concerns? I’m happy to advise in this thread.
