Embarassed to admit to fibro....

LOL Sugah!

yes - I recently invested in 'ssandalwood' insence... I read someolace aryuvedic that that is the scent to help with the energy.

You know - I've been in this stuff for a long long time - and I don't understand why the aryuvedic stuff just runs in one ear and out the other. LOL

anyhoo - today is still just as bad - but now the snow is flying so I can trust that the pain will let up in a day or so.

I wish the national weather service would hire me as a human barometer. I'm far more accurate at predicting weather than the local stations.

LOL

I even get 'snow hair' my hair gets HUGE like back in the 80's - all on it's OWN ... and it goes flat right before it rains.

man this has to be at least a little bit laughable or I'm gonna go postal...LOL

And boy howdy - it is NOT... inconsequential.

how to answer "inconsequential" people (even if they "mean well"):
"I used to be like that." and don't say another word. just let them think about it.

hmmmmm... GOOD one!

You know -
my friend
who let me move into her house
when I lost my place cuz I couldn't work for being so freaking sick...

a nurse, mind you ...

even SHE would blow it off.
Especially if she wanted me to do something
she knew would make me hurt or sicker to do.

she wanted her bathroom painted
and even if well - the shape it was in -
it would have taken me DAYS to do right.
So I refused to do it because I KNEW I wasn't able to finish it.
She treated me badly from that point on.

And in the long run
she's lost herself a good friend.
I'm still awfully grateful
she took me in
but we had a written pre-move-in-agreement
and painting and redecorating her bathroom
was NOT on it.

*sigh*

sorry to go on about that.

It's been a real rough week, man.

alla way around.

thank you guys SO much for the support and humor.
