Month 2 - Week 3 - Day 5: Seriously?... Seriously?!

I don't even know where to start.

The contract job (a.k.a. the industry job) is letting me go at the end of the month due to "restructuring".

I woke up feeling pain in my neck and soreness in my head (symptoms of TRAPS). I took tons of Advil hoping to hold it off, but at 8:45pm I caved and took a dose of my steroids because I have plans tomorrow and WILL NOT miss out on going to Stiches (Massive convention for knitters).

I'm hoping that because I took the steroids early enough in the episode that I will only need tonight's dose. Tomorrow, I'm going to go back on the Embrel shot. Maybe in another month or two I will try to go off the shot again, but I'm tried of feeling tired all the time. I'm tired of being in pain.

I really feel like I need both the clean diet and the shot. Like the diet keeps the inflammation at a low enough level that the shot can work like it is supposed to-- take away one, and the other just isn't enough to keep me healthy.

As of now, I'm still on plan... mostly. I had an extra pickle today, but I figure an extra pickle is way better than a bowl of pasta.

Oh, I also, apparently, freaked out my hair-stylist sister with that picture of my hair that I uploaded yesterday. In the photo, my hair looks like a light red-brown. In real life, my hair is black. I'm not sure why the camera took the photo and lighten my hair. I actually kinda like the color in the photo, and now I'm trying to decide if I want to keep my hair it's natural shade of Snow White's Ebony-Black hair, or lighten it to a brownish-red.

Any thoughts? To color, or not to color, that is the question.
