Nothing in particular going on, or anything very important..Just a post…
I have been sleeping a lot..I have been in the midst of a ‘fibro flare’ for way over a week now..aside from the pain, I tend to be very sleepy. Maybe that is God’s way of helping me with the pain? I have been sleeping in the guest room lately, that bed has a feather bed and feels better on my sore body, but am going to give our bed a try tonight. I miss my hubby and my bedroom badly..we have a temperpedic mattress which has been wonderful, but I find it a bit too hard with the pain. But I am trying!
I missed Christmas Bunco Monday night. I only live about 60-90 miles from the girls, but it might as well be 600 miles..I don’t drive much anymore and with our finances I don’t always have a full tank of gas to get anywhere anyway. Makes it very hard, but I was having this flare up and no way could I make it. I have been away from my Bunco group for so long over our moves, etc..over the last 6 years, My dear bestest friends live about 60 miles away but it seems like forever, too. Both are busy with their lives with work and school, I hope I see them soon because I miss them both badly. I hope they know how much I love them:)
Had to give Halo a bath, oh boy did he STINK! He is all curled up now in a blankie and looks so sweet and innocent, NOT! Here he is all cuddled up after his bath..at least now he smells better!
Not much on tv, my feet are burning badly tonight..that is a big part of the fibromyalgia..it’s the nerve endings..some times it’s hard to walk..sometimes I feel a lot older than 57. But in my mind I am much younger, lol.
Ok aside from my dumb stuff, looking very much forward to spending Christmas with the kids..Family and friends are what it’s all about in life, it’s what we live for.
Like I said, just a post.

Not feeling well like that must absolutely stink. Hope you're feeling better.
ReplyDeleteI have to give my schnauzer a bath very soon (or take her to the groomers); she's starting to get a little "stinky", too!
Ahhhh I sure hope you get to feeling better. Nothing is better than your own bed...
ReplyDeleteI hate that you hurt. No fun.
ReplyDeletePoor Halo...but I bet he ran around like a crazy pup and rolled on everything after the bath...right?
I'm sorry to hear you've been having a rough time lately. I've always believed in the power of sleeping for healing the body so hopefully that's why you need as much as you do. I can also relate to friends and loved ones not living too close. My family and friends are scattered all over and it becomes so difficult to visit as we all have busy lives. It's good that you're looking forward to Christmas and hopefully that will help you overcome this rough period. Blessings to you! xox
ReplyDeleteBarb,
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for stoppng by my blog and leaving a wonderful comment! I'm so sorry yo're dealing wih this! I have fibro as well...it's hard to tell howmuc it affects me because of the myasthenia, but I have all the tender points, and my 4 year old hits at least 1/2 a day! : ) OWIE!
I live out in the sticks, about an hour from my closest relatives. Sounds like we have a lot in common!
I sure hope that you feel better soon. I've been having a flare myself and I think we're the same age. It's just no fun at all is it? Plus I have things to do and am having a time dragging myself to do them.

Halo is adorable wrapped up in his blankie!
ReplyDeleteOh Barb...sure wish that you felt better ;) I know how you feel being so far away from your friends cause we are from my family and it makes it tough to have to travel everytime you want to be with them. Sending you many blessings and requestiong a most benevolent outcome for your health. Fondly, Roberta
ReplyDeleteI hope you feel better Barb. It stinks to be in a flare up, doesn't it? I have had a bad headache for 3 days now. I hope it improves later today.
ReplyDeleteHalo looks very innocent in the blanket. what a cutie! I do hope you feel better soon. Any word on the disability date yet?
I hope that you start to feel like your young self again. I can't even imagine dealing with that all the time. I am not sure where your address has gone to. I am the worst at keeping track of all of that kind of stuff. Could you email it to me? kellie.anderson@imail.org
ReplyDeleteFeel better and have a wonderful Christmas!
Gosh I hate it for you - right at Christmas and all. Hope you feel better SOON! sandie
