It was from my amazingly clever sister-in-law, Katie, who upon hearing my arthritis news decided to send me a survival kit! She had done this once before for me, when I was pregnant with Parker. I know that I am totally embarrassing her by posting this, but everyone must know what a wonderful girl she is. What she did is a very fabulous and thoughtful gesture to help someone who is dealing with any kind of trial! It made me laugh and cry at the same time!Attached to each item was a "prescription" for how the item will help. For example, the note tagged to the mask read "This mask is essential for those 'I feel way too crappy to put any make-up on' mornings." You can bet I'll be using that one (like every day). Another was a pack of Airhead sweetly sour belts candy. The prescription? "When you're feeling achy and the kids are too much, simply use these to tie them up. Wrists and ankles should do. Ear plugs not included."
One of my favorite parts of the kit were these "Positive Thought & Self-Affirmation" stickers. These are hangin' up on my fridge, baby! Love you, SIL!
