Rheumatoid Arthritis, autoimmunity, and life

About Me

Thanks for stopping by.  Here are a few things about me:

I was diagnosed with Raynauds at age ten, thus my liking for warm socks.

Violins & Guitars

I like to play my guitar & violin.

I have degrees in both mathematics and linguistics.

I have worked as a technical writer and as a junior high school teacher.  Teaching is more fun; writing pays better.

 I freelance on occasion, designing custom databases or doing technical writing.

I am a Christian.

I alternate between refusing to let RA change who I am, and it defining my every moment of existence.
It’s not who I am, but it affects everything I do.

I like to read, grow vegetables, sew, and make cold-process soap.

Our family has three alpacas,
four  three  four  five  four  five four horses,
23  54  50  24  28   20  13  39 a small flock of ducks,
and 5  11  19 15 a small herd of cows.
Since I was raised a city-girl, this has been quite a change for me!

I like to spin yarn from the alpaca fiber and turn it into knitted garments (mostly socks).

  1. Hi Warm Socks,

    I am so excited to meet you! Thanks for stopping by my blog. I have seen your adorable sock picture on other blogs. I bet your socks are super cozy. You spin your own yarn and knit your own socks. How crafty is that? So now I am reading about you and discovering many similarities. I totally love that you have animals. I am an animal nut.

    You have an incredible blog. Some of you guys absolutely blow me away. Such a wealth of information on your blogs.

    I look forward to reading more on your blog.

  2. I look forward to making friends with some kindred spirits on here. I have no blog, just a penchant and hobby for reading the health blogs of other folks and occasionally making comments or throwing in my 2 cents worth.
