Odd Car, Misty, Winters and Fibro Truths

 Driving into work

Thursday, I pulled up 

beside a car driven by

a young man, and the steering

wheel was on the 

WRONG 

side of the car. 

I have never seen this

before.

Cool.

Look at my sweet baby

girl sleeping at the 

end of my bed.

In this pic below, 

Misty is asking if that

pose makes her look fat?

haha..

Six Little Winters of TN

There are five little winters

for TN are 

1. Redbud Winter: early April only we are in it now
2. Dogwood Winter: late April
3. Locust Winter: early May
4. Blackberry Winter: mid May
5. Britches Winter: late May

Yay...more to look

forward too. 

Remember the post 

from yesterday?

I had made it to travel on the list,

a 30 min drive makes getting

out of the car, gaining balance and

walking is not always easy. Travel that

is longer requires stops here and there to

stretch. A plane trip, I really have

to wait till others get off the plane

before I try. Once it get to moving its

ok. But the stress and time it puts

on my body is not always fun....

okay, rephrase that, NEVER fun.

Eating, I have no issues eating, 

my issues coming in the form

of cooking something that is

good for me. Snacking, I am 

good at but I need to work on

what I snack on.

Socializing and calls....this had been

prob the hardest of all.

You see, and I know you will find this

hard to believe, but I have

ALWAYS 

been a social person. Fibro

has robbed me of 

the ability to enjoy being that way.

It has robbed me of being able

to keep a clean house in which

to entertain friends for dinner,

or just a get together. I has taken 

from me that being about to get out

and go. Yes, I do still do that but

if you only knew the events I have

to cancel on. How I avoid calls,

just cause I don't feel like talking.

How I avoid seeing and meeting 

people. I even have slight panic

attacks at times over getting out.

Managing finances, I have all

my bills taken out of my

checking account because there

were those times I forgot to pay

a bill and something got cut off.

I have a hard time

also in making decisions on

simple task...

so not the old me.

Simple task I was a pro at....

Okay, ENOUGH!

It is Friday morning and 

I am on the deck wiht 

Misty. Wind is blowing and 

Lily apparently does not care for 

the sound of the tin roof when the 

wind hits it. 

Its a beautiful morning though, and

the wind though it feels good

has a slight chill to it.

Headed in to take a shower

now that coffee is done. I have

a lunch meeting with an old 

friend today. 

Being that the temps are good,

and its a nice day, my

pain, my fatigue and my

anxiety are low. I am hoping

to enjoy my lunch with 

Wendy.

Later,

Pam
