Fatigue to Pumpkins

Evening folks...
morning or afternoon 
depending on when you find
yourself reading my blog
today!

Happy you all stopped in.

So...those that have been
following me know my
adventures with 
Fibromyalgia. 
You are always so good
to check in and ask how
I am doing.
I am doing pretty good
right now. 
Wanted to share that since
you usually just hear of the 
bad days! 

However I did want to share this.



All true...this is all true.
The last one, suddenly need to lay 
down. Let me explain that 
one. Pain is a major issue,
but fatigue is right
there along side of the pain.
When I say fatigue I 
am not talking being 
tired and if you never
really experienced fatigue 
you know what I mean.
It is draining, it feels like
all the engery in you 
has been sucked out of you.
When it hits, all I can do
is lay down.

Yesterday, mixing horse poo
to my flower bed, stooping 
down, all of a sudden,
fatigue hit.
All I could do was sit back.
Kept telling myself I needed
to get up and go in but I
did not have the energy to
do even that. I sat there
about 15 mins before I could
get up and go in. 
So you face fatigue but 
you know how a lot of meds
make  you tired...
yep fibro meds do that so
you put the two together and 
it makes for daily struggles.

Now...with that behind us 
check this out...
I asked on another 
blog if you liked painted
furniture. 

 

When I was
younger, and my brother being
a craftman of wood, I thought
painting was horrible to
do to good wood.
I still think that if the wood
is beautiful but there
are some pieces of
furniture that need some
love!

You know I love art..
I love crafts...
I have tried my hands
a lot of things but
carving pumpkins is 
just not one of them.
My talents do not come into
play there...

But I found this on
fb. Cool I think.

Do you carve your pumpkins?
Show me your style if
you carved one.

I carved 2 punmpkins way back when my in there 50's now kids were small. after that we did the plastic kind. mother carved one every year and baked with what was in it. she put a candle in hers and sat on the porch. I liked it and liked the bakery goods but not the carving. that dresser is really pretty and I like it a lot, but my OCD side could not live with it in the room. that is scary about the sudden need to lay down, could happen anywhere any time..

I always carved pumpkins with the children, but none like the one shown. Would love to try though.
I love the looks of the dresser and a hotel in Colonial Beach Va. has painted dressers in each of the rooms of water scenes or waterfowl. Not sure I could live with it day in and day out.

My sister suffers with Fibromyalgia and I wonder sometimes if it's my problem with the increased pain I have at times in my leg muscles and neck.
I hope you are having a great Sunday and a dry one as it looks like rain again here.

That dresser is very cool, I must admit. Fatigue stinks. I only experienced it during bouts of depression. My idea of a cure was quitting the work week, to which hubby agreed as long as I got off the depression and anxiety meds. It worked! I'm so lucky.

I can only imagine what you go through with your illness. I know you have great days, good days, so so days and horrible days.

I'm with you on painting fine wood. No. There are some wood that needs all the help it can get. Go for it then.

That pumpkin is awesome. I can't carve a pumpkin either. Gave that up years ago when my son was no longer interested in doing a pumpkin.

Have a fabulous day and week. Scritches to your babes. ♥

Nope, not a pumpkin carver. I appreciate good work, though.

Do you find fatigue to be a bit like walking through water? Like, suddenly the world is an ocean, and you're just trying to move through it? Your body is too heavy, even though it's the same body that was fine just a day ago. But everything is just heavy. And you just don't have the energy to fight it.

The Rest of Today

After my trip to town today,  visit with the doc, stopping  and picking up breakfast I  headed home.  I had dropped Dakota off at mom's for the day. He was going  to spend the day  playing with Klohe and Cheyenne. While he was hanging at mom's Lily and I chilled all day.  So much to do but I can't seem to get it in gear. Later....I had an apt for a hair cut. But I left out early to stop  at the  Mystic Heart. I picked up some healing stones there.  Entering the store I read this sign... haha Then while in there I saw this sign. From there I headed to see  Kelley, my hair stylist. This is what I was shooting for. Course, it will look different on  me due to hair color and  texture of hair.  I am good with it. I got to Heads Up a bit early  so Kelley still had a young boy she was working on and his dad after him. I had to snap a pic of Kelley making sure that I got

Well, what was I thinking? HAHA After laying on my couch in so much pain all summer, I knew moving closer to  Amber was the thing to do, The timing of finding my dream home was off. However, Two days of Open House and I have a contract. Selling as is, minor repairs.  Inspection to be done after  the work in the  den and BR is done. The process of getting here while just a couple of weeks of healing was a challenge. My daughter was a big  help weekend before  last. I just collect to many projects that I  never get around to and that has to stop. I have to say, last time  was easier, I had moved into my childhood home before I sold the other, so it was empty when sold. EASIER. I hate moving so close to Christmas but it is  what it is. Fall seems to have made it to us the past week. I am surprised, we were losing so many leaves due to no rain,  glad to have some color. In between packing, cleaning, repairs and life in general, I have  managed to do a few things. I taught a paint class an
