Summer time is here! That also means that graduation season is in full swing- dresses and high heels shoes for girls, tuxedoes and bow-ties for boys.
And tonite, is my graduation for my old school! I go every year even though I am homeschooled, because A, I like supporting the graduating students, and B, there's a fun dance afterwards that goes after ten, sometimes reaches 11 o'clock.
So tonite, instead of going to the stables, I'm going to go to Halifax's graduation, being picked up by one of my old friend's mother's, going to her house, and than arriving with them to the graduation. Now I will say, there are some awkward cliques to deal with, and there are some awkward moments every time I step back into Halifax's doors, but the overall joy and good memories are worth millions of awkward moments and pauses and stares and glares.
So tonight I go to the party, and I must say, I am excited!!!! Fighting lupus does take the energy of me sometimes, and I rarely go to dances at all. So tonight, I vow to enjoy myself completely! Haha!
Keep on fighting!
More to come.......

Getting back on track (finally)....
My life finally seems to be getting back to normal (as normal as normal can get having lupus)! I've started dropping steriods, from 12 pills to 11 pills, this started last Saturday and this coming Saturday I'll be dropping from 11 to 10! Every week until mid-August I'll be doing this, eventually ending with no pills! But the Celcept, my immune supressant, will continue for at least a year and a half minimum, possibly for years. (Eep)
In other words, I've started riding again. Besides the fact that spring has flown by with a wink and winter seems in the past (except for all these storms and tornadoes, like four deaths in New England) the weather has drawn me out and I've gradually began rebuilding my riding muscles. I'll be competing again soon on a lovely white gelding named Teak and this Friday will be attending a special group riding lesson with one of the best instructors in the world, Franquis (such an honor).
My new puppy, Rose Petals Marie Yurkevicz (Rosie for short) is almost 5 months old and growing rapidly, adjusting to life as a barn dog. From being zapped by the eletric fence to receiving her first tick to graduating from sleeping in the crate on the porch with my Mom and dad to in my bed, things have slowly regained normalness. But the fact is, lupus doesn't go away. Unless (if possible) they can find a cure, I'll always have reminders. But I must remember to live my life to the fullest, not worry about long-term plans (for goodness sake's I'm just a teenager!) and basically enough everyone and everything in life!
