This week was a bit different for me and my little girl. We went to the places where she will and I will be spending part of our summer. First one was the fitness club where her swimming lessons would be held and the other one is the pre school she would be attending this coming school year. I decided to let her attend their summer classes to gauge if she is really ready to go to school.

Hidden Cameras are no stranger to me. For over the eight years I have been working in my previous employer cameras are everywhere. We don’t mind being watched since we know that this is being done for security purpose. In fact a Hidden Camera (but I know it is hidden there) is over my head every time I work. Not that the management thought I would do something wicked but because it was the best position for it since my workplace is near the entrance door.

Yesterday, my daughter and I went out to pay for the summer classes that she would be joining. We first headed to the bank and after that we went to the fitness club where the swimming classes would be held. It was 10 o clock at that time and the sun is shining brightly. I am really worried what the sun might cause on us. The little girl’s classes would be 9 to 1oam.

I have suffered much during my first year of having LUPUS — physically, emotionally and financially. Physically, I was not able to do the things that I normally do. Emotionally — I cannot accept the drastic changes that LUPUS is imposing on me. And financially because I have to be in and out of the hospital, confined in it for 10 days and then 6 days again because I was not feeling any better. Not to mention that I have to buy a lot of maintenance medicine to make sure it is controlled. And because I am sick, I have to take a leave absence from work for almost two months without pay since I have used up all my leave (both vacation leave and sick leave). It was one of the tryingest time of my life. I thought I can never get out of the dark.
