Good things about your chronic disease:

I'm supposed to eat a lot of oily fish to get omega-3 for my Sjorgren's: fresh sockeye salmon in season now!

1. I like the ready excuse I have to duck social things I don't want to go to.

I have never been to a Tupperware party. I haven't been to a wedding in many years. I like it that way.

2. I'll add, for my part: or a baby or

bridal shower.

3. I've only been to one baby shower and no bridal showers

and the baby shower was for one of my favorite people of all time and featured a cast of characters who would have rebelled at any stupid games. There was no pink in evidence, no ruffles, no bows, and no lacy stuff. And a good time was had by all.

Otherwise, I've been absolutely thrilled to send my regrets and a gift.

4. How about when I found out I'm thirsty all the time from Sjogren's,

not diabetes!
