I was so certain earlier today that my aching joints were the result of taking my medication a few hours late. It made perfect sense, I had forgotten to take it at my usual time, I did remember when my feet started hurting. This afternoon as I watched my oldest stepson make a second attempt at water skiing we heard a loud bang of thunder. A huge storm was rolling in, the kind where the afternoon sky quickly turns dark and you have to turn all the lights on inside.
It leaves me wondering if I should be predicting the weather. Does having arthritis give the people who do predict the weather an advantage? Are they aware of the direct link between storms and my hands and feet? Should I issue a press release? I can see the headlines now, "RA Mom is Amazing Resource in Weather Prediction." Because you know, it really is amazing.

Rain is in the forecast today here. I could tell before waking up. These days I am feeling pretty good most of the time, but with weather changes and diet changes, I can feel it in my fingers and knees as I wake up.
