Writing for Monday, even though 12:13 am. Now that it should be bed time, here I am. I hate nights, it like my body says "oh bed time" "ss not for you chick", lol, Started today of tired and lounged in bed until 2:30, Then up and down, as though should be, as homemaker was here at 2:30. Then bed for 3.5 this evening doing needed paper work, And now yupppers I am up, and sad to say have one, two, three too many beers. My big accomplishment for me today was I washed my hair around 9 pm. Though silly, is an accomplishment for me. Very hard for me last several months to initiate tasks, and my own personal care is one of them, been trying for a week to wash hair. Sad, I know, next is to get into bath tub, got as far as cleaning it...
Fanci, Getting into the shower and getting dressed have become monumental tasks for me too. I understand.

Oh my lanta! I was like this today! I needed to send out a letter and call the docs, but I just could not build up the momentum and energy to "initiate tasks!" It's not at all for lack of trying in the least! The letter is all ready, but I just couldn't get any energy to even stuff the envelope!
Thank God for you guys on this site! In the back of my mind I was contemplating the label of "lazy!" But I know, It's just impossible to get the energy some days! I mean, I want to get things done I know need to be done at times and my body and mind is just not interested!
On the days where it's exhausting to walk my little dog...why would my body and mind be able to stuff a letter or dial the doctors number? It truly wouldn't! I just truly hate deadlines! That what flips me out about this disease! If it's not a deadline issue, I can be OK with saying "it's normal to be worn out!" But when the clock is tick tocking and you just can't find the slightest ounce of energy, it's kinda hard to just tell the someone who is waiting for a very important letter that you were just really in pain and so tired from your Fibro! I mean, maybe you could say that if you had an understandable disease like cancer or something, but not Fibro!
I'm going off again! HA! Sorry, I ramble at times when I am in a huge amount of pain! When I'm in pain more pain than usual, my mind starts thinking about all the realities of being sick, you know?
Take care,
Stay sane!
