Yeah I made it to the dentist today.
Really fun life I have. It seems that I am going to have,ore root canal done and more caps put on. Lovely!
I just thought of this. I am going to have all these caps I can start my own bottling company. What can I bottle with all of these caps. Not so funny is it?
Well I got a cleaning today and low and behold. I have more cavities. Yeah!! Do I just love that. So now. I have to go in and have some sleep again and get some more work done. This is an all day sleep. Don't remember much of the last time I did this. But teeth were better then when I went in there.
Other the that. I am in allot of pain. My back has been giving me allot of trouble here lately. Since that is the norm then the fibro comes on as well. So then I can feel it everywhere. Gaul! So moving and doing things just got a little harder.
We went for a walk here yesterday when it was so nice. The sun was a shining and for one day the temperature was in the double didgets. Warm and sunny. Just beautiful. So we walked a long walk first thing in the morning and then another walk in the marsh in the afternoon.. That was a three Kms walk there. So that night tried to get up off the couch and I couldn't do it. That was a shock to me. I have never had any trouble with that. Now I am realizing that it is not as easy as it use to be. I have to take it easy and not over do or I end up not being able to move. Not a fun prospect at all.
So now a holiday is coming up and there will be allot of walking involved in this. Well I think I am going to have to pace myself. I use to be able to walk and walk for miles. Now I will only be walking a little and then checking out what is happening with other people who are walking around while I am sitting there watching the hustle and bustle of everyone else. This may not be a great of a vacation then I thought it might be. If I can't get around as well I am not going to enjoy myself as much. Well I am going to try the best I can. I have allot of passes to use and I want to see as much as I can. I don't know if I will have another chance at seeing this place again or not.
I was out today. Tried to step up on the curb and my knee gave out on me for a minute. Hubbie said it looked like I was doing a balance dance. He said you know you are going to try that maybe you should be closer to me. Well he was on the other side of the car. How could I be closer to him? Anyways this is telling me that I may have to start using a cane here. I have to keep my balance somehow. Or I am going to end up on my keister some time or rather and not be able to get up. I'm and old broad with a cane. Coming up. Well what will they think at work if I walk around with a cane. Probably tell me to get rid of it or don 't be working here anymore.
Yeah working there is a thought. They may not want me around there much longer. I feel useless there right now. I try to do what I did before but I just can't do it. So I do what I can. Doesn't seem to be much though. Work is expecting more and more out of you and I can only do so much before I have to stop and smell the roses for awhile. I think retirement will be in the air here soon. But I have to find another way to bring in some money. The bills still have to be paid every month. Any suggestions? Well have to think on that for awhile.
I guess I have rambled on here for a little too long. Complain complain.. That's what I do.
Justa talking for the sake of talkin
I was writing on here about how I feel about having sjrogrens, but now have changed it a little and will write about just about anything that happens to come to mind. I know not interesting at all, but hey it will help with my frustration and give me an outlet. So thanks for listening. Or maybe not
Think it suits the mood

Still truckin with a few bumps
Well I am going into week number two.
You know I feel great right now. Don't know if this is because of the exercise and eating better or if it is because of the trips I am going to be taking soon. Which means away from work and stress and all the other bull cookies that are happening.
Well there will be stress with this trip coming up. I will be sitting for long periods of time while we drive across the tundra of the USA. I just hope that most of the snow is gone by then or it is going to be one hell of a drive. It is two months before we head out on this trip. Have a time share that a friend has loaned us and we have decided that since we have the time to do it. See Mickey mouse and Donald Duck. And maybe marineland and you know dolphins.
So now will be driving for hours on end, mind you seeing allot of scenery will be great but will my body take it to do this. I figured sitting in a plane for many hours might be out of the question for me but then again sitting in a car for many hours may not do much better. Well it is allot better then sitting on a back of a bike for many hours. I did do that last year. Headed to Mount Rushmore and back. My body told me about that trip for many days afterwards. Mind you it was a fun trip but if only my hips and legs would have enjoyed it as much as I did.
Well anyways there is a few trips coming my way this year. One in the spring were we are driving. Then I am going to Sacramento sometime in the summer with some very fun ladies. That is a short trip. Then sometime in the summer may take another short drive someplace to enjoy some time in BC. Then in the spring for my 55 birthday I am trying to get together a trip someplace warm. I am hoping Jamaica. To a sandals resort. well i hope anyways. Use up some of my airmiles I have and get some sun. The warm weather does feel so good.
I guess I have bragged enough about maybe vacations. This is part of my new resolve here. To get out and do things and enjoy myself while I can. Part of the Christmas resolution I had put together. So now part of it is starting to fall into place. To get rid of the chicken shit person I am and be more out there. Well we will see.
Along with me wanting to travel more I also resolved to exercise more and eat better. So far so good. Well I am still eating a little chocolate and drinking the diet pop. Mind you only a nibble once in while or a sip just to have a taste. It is working as long as I don't try taking too much again. I have been eating allot of salads. Yes I like salads as long as it has the stuff I like In it and not those store made ones were you have to pick out half the stuff because I just don't like it. Then there is not much in the way of salad left. Having a little serving of meat with that as well to keep some protein in me.
Wel the exercise is going good as well. I have some accomplishments to say here. I have gotten up to 20 minutes on the rowing machine and 20 minutes on the tread mill. Want to eventually work up to half an hour. That will be down the road a little though. For now what I am doing is great for me. Oh another accomplishment is I made a walk up stave lake road today. It is a steap road not far from our place that is dang hard to walk up. Well guess what I made it up there this morning. Dang proud of myself. It has been eons since I have been able to make it up that road.
Another accomplishment I did is I went to the pool a few days ago. I use to go to the pool all the time and do around 150 laps. That has not been done in years. Well I would go down and piddle in the pool. No not like that. I would move around moving my arms and working my legs but not do any laps. Well I tried the other day. i can do 10 laps. That is something for me. I probably could have done a little more but did not want to overdo it and then be layed up were I wouldn't be able to do anything. But ten laps I felt great. I can still do laps. So will try again tomorrow.
For now I feel great. I feels so good I think I have found the fountain of youth. You know that book. The one that say younger next year. Well I am living it right now
I don't know how long it is going to last, but for now I will take it. I have taken the bull by the horns and I am riding away to a better life. Well at least I hope so.
Wish me luck, cheer me on and hope for the best. I right now don't want to stop. So hopefully nothing gets in the way to stop me from fulfilling this resolve.
Thanks for the cheering section I have going now. You are all across the country but I feel you rooting for me. Thank you everyone.

Wednesday 2 January 2013
Blew it today.
Well not too bad. Just a little. Hoping the just a little will stay that way.
I was doing so well. Then I sat down on the couch and said maybe . Then it came too need. And then it came to gonna go get it. Well that's what happened. I can't denie it when I need it or I will just start wanting it all the more. Scoffing it down by the truckload.
The it is chocolate. Yeah I had some. Not allot just three little toberone bars that were sitting around here from Christmas. They were the mini ones so would count as one small bar. Then I got myself a diet pop from the bottom of the cupboard. Still drinking on it. But I did put the chocolate away. The bottle right now is sitting here starring at me but you know I really don't want it anymore now that I have had a sip. So works for me.
I did do allot of exercise today. Well in my standard it was allot of exercise in someone else's it would be just a little. That does not give me the right to have this though but I am still keeping up with what I had planned. So today after work was done I took down all the Christmas decorations. That was a job and a half. Took me three hours to do that. Such fun. That was a sweaty job. So I guess I count that as a little exercise. Then I headed out with the dogs. Walked about two miles with them. They are tired and sleeping on the couch now. Me I am just starting to have the aches here. Back is starting to give me a little trouble. My hips are not doing much better. But I am trying to keep myself moving so the exercise is what I will do. You know I do feel better when I do the exercise. Work wasn't so hard to take today either.
Some people think I am doing this for weight lose. Well for me it is more for movement then anything else. Weight lose is a side value if I can do that as well. If not I just want to be fit so I can keep moving. If I don't keep movement in my life I will end up sitting for the rest of my life and not being able to move at all. Hopefully not ending up in a wheel chair. I want quality of life here not being disabled. Well I am disabled but I want to keep going as long as I can. Having as much fun as I can. Enjoying life.
That is what I am hoping to do. Start enjoying life. Getting out doing things. Meeting new people experiencing some new things if my chicken shit conscience will not get to me. The job is not the important thing in my life anymore. My life is. The money ain't bad but i have do what i have to do. That is why I joined the red hat ladies. I am also looking into line dancing if I can find it someplace. I don't think that will be too hard on me and my joints. I like to dance. I liked to sing too but that is now out of the question unless anyone knows of a choir that doesn't mind what you sound like. I can hit the notes most of the time but other times I sound like a frog crawled up my throat.
So if once in while I get side tracked and get into a rut of doing the wrong things again. Just as long as it is not all the time. I will go back and read these blogs and hope that it will inspire me again to get back on track. Any one out there encouragement is great too. I than those who support me now. Keep it up it does feel great.

Tuesday 1 January 2013
Well one week in.
I have made it past one week. On my way with my Christmas resolutions. Well at least I am trying.
As of this day the first of January I have not eaten any chocolate. You know how chocolate is sitting in this house and yes I did not eat any of it. Depresses me. I really would like eat it all up. You know I just have one little piece, but then that leads to another which will lead to another and another. Then I will just be eating the whole box again. Going to the store and scoffing down a big chocolate bar. I don't mean one of those little dollar brands I mean the big honkin four dollar brands. The one with the peanuts or other nuts in them. Them I am hooked again. No good food on my plate. Just grab a big bar go home and eat it and the don't eat supper. Real great. Well I am proud to say it has been one week with out. Hopefully it will turn into two and then three and you know maybe a long time. Well lets hope so anyways. Just have to keep up my resolve and not listen to my hubby say. Well have just one. It ain't gonna hurt. Yeah it does. I start eating it again.
As of today I have also been with out diet pop as well. My hubby asked my why don't you want one. I say I am trying to be good. He just laughs and wonders why. Then he goes to the cupboard and gets one to flaunt in front of me and says you sure you don't want just a little taste. Lovely. Trying to break my resolve. Well I got past it.
The third thing is I have been doing a little more exercise this past week. My women cave is set up and the tv works down there. I can watch my mindless shows as my hubby calls them and then while away a hour or so and row and then get on the treadmill. Then do a little weight lifting. Only light weights right now but want to work myself back up to where I was a few years ago before I got sick. This may take a while but I plan on doing it. I am women here me roar! Ha lets see about that.
Oh today I also made a trip out to the dyke with the dogs. The walk takes me along the Fraser river. Beautiful walk on a sunny day. Still a bit chilly but it was a nice walk. The dogs got to run loose for a while until the fog burnt off. Then all of a sudden there was allot more people there and they had to be put back on leashes. I guess the New Years hangovers were done with and people started coming out to enjoy the sun as well. It doesn't get much sun around here during winter so we take it when we can. Rain, rain rain is all we really see allot of.
Well I haven't given up on the junk food yet. I don't know if I ever will but I have for now cutdown a little. I still get asked let's go get something to eat. Then guess were we head. To a burger joint. Mind you I love my salads. I mix lettuce, carrots, cabbage, cheese, bacon bits and spread shrimp on the top. A little dressing and I have a great meal. I know it sounds weird but I do love my salads. My man can not live on rabbit food though. He loves his meat. Which I am not too fond of. Like to have a little but allot no way. I like fish as well. When we head into maple ridge I like to go to Austin fish and chips. If they wouldn't batter too much it is great fish. Except for the deep frying part. I usually have cole slaw with it instead of the fries. Well at least I am trying. A new resolve has to be meant as well. Burger King is coming to mission.. Yeah we have two McDonald's, three Tim hortons, two subways and a slew of other restaraunts. What is mission a place to just hang out and eat. I know everyone just thinks food. Gotta have food. My mind doesn't think like that thought. I like a little but I don't want to be eating all the time like other people in this family. I know he has to keep his sugars in order but does he have to eat such honkin big meals. A little bit at a time would probably do him better and keep his sugars better regulated. Well he has his ideas and I have mine and I am gonna keep up with what I think is best for me and the hell with him.
That said and done. I think I am doing pretty good. How long it will last is up to me and only me. I have my vices and I am trying to kick them in the but. It will just takes little longer with some then others. I do love my junk food and have to work on that a little more. Work comes in there too and it lessens my resolve as well. There are some days when I feel like shit when my fibro starts to acted up or the arthritis starts to pain me. Or I just feel run down. Those days will really get me down and my resolve will to be to go straight to the cupboard and choke down something that ain't good for me.
Now I just have to get out in the world and start getting to know more people. I have joined up with a one of group and see where that will lead. I need to get out there or I will end up a like those old women at home with their dogs when I retire. M dogs won't even want to be with me. Depressing thought. What else can I do to to get me out and meeting people? I have already joined the red hat ladies and I hope this will get me out a bit. I use to sing in some choirs but now with the problems with my throat I probably can not hold a tune anymore. Maybe dancing group. But how much could I do before I start to hurt too much. I like dancing though. Lets see what I can find in that area. I can't sit around here and stare at my hubby all day. That will drive me bonkers. While he is staring back at me and watching these stupid discovery shows on tv day in and day out.
Well here we go into week two. Lets see what that will bring to my plate. Holidays are over now and it is back to reality. I am women hear me roar. I am roaring as loud as I can now to keep up with what I have started. Stand behind me everyone and I will win at this. Well at least I hope. More courage for the cowardly line here.

Sunday 23 December 2012
Well since I am updating myself here. I will try something else as well
Well I am trying another thing here to make me a little more upbeat. Yeah I just said that above.
I was thinking of a bucket list. Well what do we think of this. I am not gonna give myself a time based bucket list, but a list that I will hope get most of the stuff on done before I become too bad in order to do it. Well first of all I hope I don't get too bad at all, but that I am afraid is not gonna go over that well. I figure. If I keep up with the resolutions I have put in the last blog that I can stave it off as long as I can. Now with the bucket list I will look forward to the things I would love to be able to do. Make sense. Well I hope so because it is some way I think I can keep myself motivated. Motivation is not my strong suit.
Well where do I start now.
I am thinking a little bit of travel is in order. So places I would love to go.
So far I have been to the Bahamas. This was my 50th birthday present to myself. Since I wasn't gonna get anything from anyone in this family so decided I was gonna work on that for my birthday.
I did a real adventure and made it to Panama. I wasn't sure about that trip but it was an adventure for me who doesn't like to go off the beaten path. The place we stayed was great and the beach was right there to enjoy.
Second of all I made it this past summer to see Mount Rushmore. A monument I did want to see. Road down on the Harley as a biker chick. Enjoyed that trip as well. But my butt and legs had other stories to tell about that trip.
Other places I have been and would like to go back to is Las Vegas and Florida.
Well Florida will be on the agenda this spring. We are going down there as a drive. We will be taking a week and driving to Florida and then spending a week in a time share a friend has offered to let us use. Then spending a week driving home. Three weeks of holidays spent driving and then enjoying a week checking out Disney and marineland and maybe a drive down the keys. Or a check out of the glads to see alligators. Well I am not too interested in that but I would love to find dolphins some were around the area. Hope the driving just isn't too much for me. Well will have to see. Plane rides are another story for me and sitting very long.
Okay places I want to see before I end up not being able to.
Jamaica, Alaska, Australia, Hawaii yes defiantly Hawaii, and Scotland /England. To see the east coast again would be nice as well. Oh yeah a drive down the coast to California.
So now in this travel I want to take a couple of cruises. Yeah that would be nice. See some of the world from the balcony on a ship. Maybe a trip through the Panama Canal. I am thinking that. Cruise would be easy on my body. Have a place to go back to when you need to. Take in the sights at ports and enjoy the days just cruising away. This just sounds lovely.
Another cruise would be to Alaska. I was thinking last year that we would go up on the bike, but that fizzled out and we headed to the states instead. Hubby thought it would be getting a little cool for riding bike in end of August. So maybe this year we may head that way. It will be in the car or maybe we will rent a motor home to go. Will see what is on the agenda at the time. Maybe maybe not. Who knows.
Seeing sights around the states would be nice. Would like to see allot of the Grand Canyon.
Well that is travel I want to do.
Now things I would love to be able to do.
One thing is fly. I know sounds kinda silly. But this kind of flying I would like to do. You go to a wind tunnel, put on a suit and take off flying in this tunnel. I think that would be great. I have always thought flying would be great. When I was a kid I dreamed allot of being able to fly like a bird above the tree tops. Well this won't be above the tree tops, but will be up and down in a tunnel. How about flying over the falls of some kind on a zip line. I would scream my guts out but I think it would be fun. Also another way to fly is in an ultralight plane.. I almost did one once before but chickened out at last minute. Maybe I will do it yet. I don't want to jump out of a plane or anything like that. Or jump off a cliff and do a dive or float to the earth on a parachute or a kite. That I don't think is for me. But soaring above and not falling to the ground is something I did think about many times. Just have to get over being a chickenshit and give it a try.
Also again I would like to be able to swim with dolphins again. The last time was allot of fun and would love to be able to do it again.
So now thinking of being in the water I would love to be able to go down in a two person sub and seeing the sea life. I went down once in a motorized type of scooter. That was not something I think I would like to do again. It was too confining. A bubble over your head and I couldn't get the thing to move right. I also had trouble with my ears going down and couldn't do as much as anyone else.
A walk near a volcano and see the bubbling of the lava. That would be in Hawaii. I have a big interest in seeing Hawaii. Can you tell. Should I think about the fact I would like to body surf as well. Here is something else for Hawaii. Ha plus dolphins. Can you tell I like dolphins ALLOT.
I would love to be able to sing in a choir again. But I know that will never be in the cards. My voice has gone to scrap with this dry mouth and throat.. But to be able to sing again and raise my voice to the heavens again. That would make me smile soo big.
Gosh I haven't got much else in the way of ambition here do I.
Just getting this mortgage paid off and living a good long life as pain free as I can. Enjoying what time I have.
Well some bucket list I have. Travel to a few places, fly and swim with the dolphins.
I am not an ambitious person I guess. My interest lay in the fact that I like to do crafts of woodworking and knitting and scrap booking. Searching out family tree info.
If I was real ambitious I would like to walk the Great Wall of china, but that would be me going to china and I don't see myself doing that. Or let's see. How about going up the Eiffel Tower. But France is not someplace I was thinking of going, but I do think of going to Australia. What is with that. I would think of Germany as that is we're my ancestor come from but there is not a big ambition for it. I would like Scotland and England though. I'm not sure why I would not go but I feel it in my bones that it would not be a place I would go. Mexico might be a place like maybe cancun or maybe the grand cayman island. This all has to do with me seeing dolphins again. Yeah I know. I do have a liking for them.
I am just a home body. Not too ambitious and not much in the way of dreams. A little travel and a little crafty stuff. Being a home body most of the time. Enjoying my family and my pets. A little music. Get out once in while with friends and having as many laughs as I can. And all together just keeping myself going.
Okay bucket list are to be for when you are dieing but it for me is for getting to things before I can't anymore. Well I know where I stand. Can I do some of these things or am I just filling up a bucket of unfinished dreams? We will see.
I was thinking of a bucket list. Well what do we think of this. I am not gonna give myself a time based bucket list, but a list that I will hope get most of the stuff on done before I become too bad in order to do it. Well first of all I hope I don't get too bad at all, but that I am afraid is not gonna go over that well. I figure. If I keep up with the resolutions I have put in the last blog that I can stave it off as long as I can. Now with the bucket list I will look forward to the things I would love to be able to do. Make sense. Well I hope so because it is some way I think I can keep myself motivated. Motivation is not my strong suit.
Well where do I start now.
I am thinking a little bit of travel is in order. So places I would love to go.
So far I have been to the Bahamas. This was my 50th birthday present to myself. Since I wasn't gonna get anything from anyone in this family so decided I was gonna work on that for my birthday.

Giving it my best shot
I know this is not the whining and complaining I usually do. But hey I think it is allot better. If you want a giggle go back through this bog and find the one about exercise or the one about my brain frogs.
I made a couple of Christmas resolutions. Well you know everyone makes New Years resolutions but I figured I will make a couple of Christmas resolutions. Maybe I can keep them a little better.
first one is I am going to be more confident in everything I do.
Second I am going to come up with something positive to say for my self every morning. Or at least every few mornings. As you can see on my face book and twitter I am starting to come up with a new quote every now and then to upbeat my mood. In some ways I think it is helping. It takes my mind off of other things like the pain I wake up with and the crankiness I put up with. From myself and others in the house or work.
Thirdly I am going to get myself out of the house more often doing things. That was started this past summer when I joined up with the red hats. Another blog I have been doing that you may have read from me.
This does not mean I am going to be going to work more. This is just bringing me down now. To much tension in that place. It just does bring me down more. Standing all day and listening to customers that just want to complain about something going wrong is just not getting to be my thing any more. Customer service is for the birds. Especially after working it for over ten years. I need something else in my life but at this age who would want to hire me. Well only a few years to retire if I can keep it up.
Well to bring my mood up I did make it out to a concert last night. Kenny Hess had a Christmas concert last night. Lots of gospel type Christmas music that brought me to tears a couple of times. He sure does know how to belt out the songs with feeling. Well that was a night for me to remember for awhile. I just loved it. Wanted to sing right along with him. Only problem with that is my voice is so scratchy now it sure would not sound right . I use to have such a great voice and now it is just scratchy. Dang dry throat and mouth. Oh oh getting down again. This is suppose to be a positive thing for me. Well I hope to find more things like that to keep me going.
Fourthly there is exercise. Yeah right. That one may be a little tougher. Everytime I start a program of some kind it will fizzle out after a while. Need to do this though or I am just going to seaze up and not be able to move at all. What good is that going to do me. So dogs get ready for more walking. When it is not raining that is. Then it will only be one time in morning. I also have my women cave started down stairs. It has my craft room but also has the rowing machine down there and the tread mill. Enough room to do it there along with a set of weights that have dust on them and a few other exercise stuff that has not been used in a while. Well it is time to dust them off and get start on that.
Well there is a fifth one that is if budget will let me do. Is to travel a little more before it gets too tough to do it. I did a trip here this past year that I enjoyed very much. Problem is it did cause me trouble afterwards for awhile. We did a bike trip last summer. Made it over to Mount Rushmore before we turned around to come back. That was a blast except my but and legs told me different by the time we got home. You have probably read about it on my otherblog. This spring we are taking another road trip. This one will be in the car as the snow will still be on the ground some places. Heading all the way across the states and ending up in Florida. We have a time share there for a week given to us from a friend to use. So are driving there and then spending a week near Disney and then driving home. Three weeks with two in a car and one week enjoying the sights. Well that will be fun. At least I hope. See as the time gets closer. It will be up on my other blog old harley broad and other vacations. So vacations I hope will be allot so I can see allot of country. Depending on the budget that is though. In the past few years I have made it to panama and the Bahamas. I would love to take a cruise and see a little of the world around me before I am not able to anymore.
There is a sixth thing. And that is just to be myself and not worry about what other people think of me and not being able to do as much as I use to. It is tough right now when the family still expects me to do the things I could do before. Then at work were they always expect more and more out of you. Well I just keep trucking and do what I can do when I can do it and to hell with everyone else. Sounds good.
The seventh thing is to keep up with my crafty stuff. I now have a room I can fill up with it and a place to do it without having to put it away every time. I love doing these things and as long as my hands will let me do I am going to keep up with it. Getting rid of the stuff is another thing. I have done the craft fairs but never seem to sell much. Oh this also has a blog going of morning song creations if you would like to read up on what goes on there. Face book has a page of morning song creations as well if you would like see what i make. Well I have just advertised my four blogs that you can read if you want.
These are seven things I hope to keep up with this year. Christmas resolutions I hope to keep. I know I never keep my New Years resolutions so maybe if I make them early I will do a little better. I have been starting some of them already in this past year.
So everyone out there. Have yourself a great holiday season.
I want to be moving for as long as I can and not be sitting on the couch just watching the tv all day. I just have to get the adventure in. This is my life. So I am starting now. Wish me luck on this new quest. Love ya all for reading my blogs and supporting me here and on Facebook and twitter. I know not much of a following but I do have a little. Have a great holiday season and keep safe. Love ya much. Talk to you again next year. See you on the flip side. Bye for 2012.

Sitting here early in the morning
You know there are just some days you can't just sleep in a little. I am sitting here at five o'clock in the morning. I was up at four. Give me a break here.
My mind is just rushing with things I can't seem to figure out. First off I bought a new set of lights to put outside for Christmas. Yesterday I could not for the life of me figure out how to get them together so they work. So low and behold I am up this morning playing around with them. I need my sleep, but that doesn't seem to make my mind turn off so I can sleep and stop thinking about what had to be done. Well I did eventually figure out how to get them together so they all work at once.
I may not be to smartest bulb in the lot but I did get them to work. Took two hours to figure it out. Real technical it was. Just have to plug in both the plug and the transformer and they start doing the sequence they are suppose to do. I thought I had a bunch of broken sets that would not work together. I think sjogrens is going to my head.
Lately I have been feeling light headed and walking is getting to be a bit of a chore. Well at least to walk straight that is. I am heading in a direction and for some reason it takes longer to get there. What is with that. It is a straight line I a heading for but my body just wants to take a detour to the right or the left. I do end up were I want to be eventually but it just takes a little extra time to get there.
The fibro is playing havoc with me as well. One day will feel pretty good and then the next day my back is a little sore in the morning and by afternoon I have what feels like the flu again. Every were just hurts. Even my skin if I touch it feels like there is barb wire running up and down it. I bang something with my arm and the pain just runs every were. Brother that is a pain.
Now steps are getting to be a problem with me as well. I have to use the stair quite a bit during the day. To go to lunch room and then back down to desk. At home allot of things are down stairs. My work shop, my craft room, the laundry room and so on maybe just to get outside and let the dogs out. Going down is not too much of problem but coming back up my knees buckle and I have to stop. So now living in the house that I love is now going to start to be a problem as well.
Oh oh here comes some twinges to my shoulders and back. I guess it is time to stop my whining here and maybe head back to bed for a little more snoozing before I have to go to work. Yeah another day of work. I really would love to retire but the bills will not get paid that way. Some day I hope it will be a reality. But for now have to keep truckin along and feeling the pain and whining. I know you are all sick of hearing it but I am probably going to be whining allot more as this progresses further and hurts more.
Time for a little snooze before I end up at work sleeping.
