Today has been a real challenge. Most of last week I kept having lower back pain on top of the usual fibromyalgia issues. It was constant pain with, now and then, a bad twinge. Finally, today I just couldn’t take it anymore and took a muscle relaxer. I figured I’d been thinking it was kidneys […]
Woke up to find the house surrounded in fog. At first I didn’t notice because the rain was pattering on the sky light and it was rather dark. Once I got up and looked out there was fog, the thin grey blanket type over, around, and cloaking everything. It made for the kind of grey, […]
Bear Update: When last we left the little bear in a previous post, it was rather scary looking. Parts scattered all over the place. I’d managed to make a back, front, two arms, and two legs. However, I couldn’t find my buttons for joints or my needle. So, things got put away. Finally, I managed […]

Huge thunderstorm tonight. Sky was a strange pink between the trees and the lightning. Rained hard with blowing wind. I love storms. It tailed off again, then back, then gone again. We got in our copy of True Blood and watched the first four episodes. Quite good but I’ll do more on that later when […]
