Lilly

here is my dog Lilly at 5:15 AM, laying on my bed watching me get ready for school...she is always so depressed to see me leave in the morning. Unlike most dogs, Lilly is too lazy to get up out of bed to go outside first thing when she wakes up... I have tried to physically peel her off my bed, but she refuses to move!   


Tomorrow for Halloween Lilly plans on dressing up as a pumpkin - I will be sure to take some pictures =) As for myself, I still don't have any plans - mostly because I don't think I will be able to walk since the pain and swelling in my legs/arms keeps getting worse - and here I thought that I would actually feel a difference from taken the medication I was given for Lupus.

hi!

hello! I have decided to start a blog about my experiences through life as a pastry arts student recently diagnosed with lupus.  I started a pastry arts program this past September,  and not even two weeks later I was experiencing classic symptoms of lupus - even though I didn't know it at the time.  After emergency room visits and nervous trips to my rhuematologist 's office, I was upset yet relieved to finally get a diagnosis.  My health issues didn't start just this past September, I've been sick since January- it was just recently that my symptoms became more obvious.    


My love and passion for baking is from my grandmother who was always baking classic Iranian pastries throughout my childhood.  Although I spent my entire college career diligently preparing to apply to medical school, I realized that I really would be much happier as a pastry chef.  My family and friends were shocked and uneasy with my decision at first, but they are gradually becoming more accepting of it.

Of course there is much more in my life besides lupus and cupcakes....such as my wonderful dog lilly and my boyfriend Bryan - the two major sources of support in my life right now.  So stay tuned as I blog about all my ups and downs with lupus, pastry school, and endless baking ventures!
