Do you think there are every other day career opportunities

What a strange life it is to have RA.  I have not even had time for drs. appts. to complain and I have plenty to complain about

Right now, it feels like RA has about 1/3 of my life.  I hope once things settle down, I can improve that ratio.  Today - spent the day on the couch.  Could not get up without help.  Thank God for Brett and Kelsey.  For all of you who do not have help, my heart sincerely goes out to you.  I don't know how you do it.  I had to hire help when I was alone.  The good thing is my spirits are mostly up.  Brett and Kelsey have become real buddies.  Kelsey likes just riding in the car so Brett takes her everywhere.  I have not left the house once since we got back from the trip.  I pack boxes when I am well enough.  The actual move I have to avoid thinking about.  I cannot imagine how my ra will let me manage but I am trying to get in a good place so I can be a part of that adventure instead of a burden.

This turned into a vent - it was supposed to be more of a check in observation I think I have finally realized that too. What's a
bummer though is that sometime on the good days I
forget how bad the bad days can be. Like yesterday I
did about ten loads of laundery (yes...had to let it pile
up!) had to carry it up and down the stairs, etc. I felt
good all day and didn't think it would be a problem,
but today...oh I hurt      Been having lots of pain
sitting at my desk at work the past month or so. My
butt hurts as well as hands, neck, back, etc. So
hoping tomorrow is one of the 'good' days and it will
balance out today!   

Only had this ra stuff now a few weeks only found out for sure yesterday.  I am starting to see a trend with me of every other day being good.  yesterday was a pretty good day i hurt but I could move fairly easily and do my normal stuff.  This morning now I am hardly moving and have more significant pain. Of course today is the day I have to clean the barn and get ready for 100 bales of hay.  This disease really sucks.  Any suggestions on how to get any of the work done and still be alive?
