I am thankful that my job as a real estate agent allows me to schedule my day accordingly, but it's hard emotionally knowing it's not the norm. <br />p.s. love your blog! and your pill cases! :) <br /><br />nikki<br />www.livinglifewithlupus.comNikki https://www.blogger.com/profile/09528229600353752925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8824828113983189391.post-15384544122014446252013-10-08T05:23:46.178-04:002013-10-08T05:23:46.178-04:00You could emigrate - to southern Italy or Spain ;-...You could emigrate - to southern Italy or Spain ;-) and then you'd be normal!!<br /><br />A couple of years ago we spent 3 weeks with a colleague and his family right down in Apulia, almost falling off the Italian boot. We live in the mountains in the north so the culture change to lunch at 2.30 followed by a "siesta" before he returned to work in his medical practice until about 7pm was a big one! <br />I think I'd rather have lunch just a bit earlier - and dinner at 9.30pm was NOT my thing, but the "little zizz" was something I could get used to eventually with a bit of practice! I have polymyalgia rheumatica and several people with it that I know DO lie down in the afternoon. I have never felt I needed it - I'm in bed at 10pm and sleep until 7am and that does me fine. Resting doesn't help the fatigue I had (mercifully it's gone now) but the quiet time in the afternoon gets used for reading if I haven't got any translating. Certainly doesn't get filled by housework!Eileenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02684985554953836607noreply@blogger.com
