A Long Awaited Update During a Storm

Sorry i haven't been posting. I've been very busy with school and such. I also update my tumblr much more frequently which is http://purpleviolin91.tumblr.com/.

Right now Long Island and really most of the North East is in the middle of Hurricane Sandy. This storm has really spiked my RSD/CRPS. Last night i was in agony. I went out to grab breakfast this morning and it wasn't too bad walking there, but walking back was worse because though the rain's not too hard, the wind had picked up and was blowing the rain all over. Luckily classes are cancelled for today and tomorrow. I'm one of 50 students staying in my dorm for the storm, the rest went home.

My pain has been bad in general, but I have been coping. I'm having a fundraiser for RSD at my school starting Thursday November 1st. I'm having a jar at the HillWood Commons information desk and a jar at the Learning Support student lounge to collect money for the RSDSA. I'm also having an online page at first giving at http://www.firstgiving.com/fundraiser/marymccabe/rsdawarenessmonthliupost2012 for those that don't go to my school and wish to donate. I have a facebook event page as well to remind people https://www.facebook.com/events/430548006992403/.
