Of course, I should have known it was coming. My littlest had one–3 days and he’s fine now. If this goes like usual for me, it will be a week or more. Suppressed immune systems suck.
I don’t even want to talk about pain today. My hands hurt. My shoulders hurt. Blah blah blah ad infinitum. [...]

In case you haven’t guessed yet, I do these posts at the end of my day. Lately, the end of my day has been almost morning for everyone else (here, I mean. I’m sure it’s morning elsewhere, perhaps even afternoon by now). It’s been hard to concentrate when the children are awake, and the work [...]

Aren’t you pleased? This one is going to be short.
I had the stupid all day. The fog was thick enough to cut, but I wouldn’t have trusted myself with a knife. A client called and asked me for a time estimate on a project and I couldn’t answer the question. I had to apologize and [...]
happy unbirthday to you!

It was our 8th anniversary yesterday. Back when we first got married, we did it on the 14th because I’d never actually had a significant other on that day. It was one of those things. Break up right before, get together right after. Needless to say, I hadn’t had a significant other longer than a [...]

Definitely still feeling the fallout from the furniture moving. I woke at 10ish because my husband had the day off and got our daughter out the door on his lonesome. We split the work for the small fry.
Despite my late start, I couldn’t think for a couple of hours, at least. Unfortunately, a [...]

One of the ways the first doctor told me they determine the difference between fibromyalgia and arthritis is how long it takes you to function in the morning. Less than an hour, fibro; more than an hour, arthritis.
He also asked about my evenings. At about 4 o’clock, my brain shuts down and I start getting [...]

I’ve never been a particularly tidy person, but when I do clean, I have to be able to rearrange the furniture. A room never seems as clean as it could be if it’s not also different. Unfortunately, these days I start by picking up the kids’ toys and by the time I’m done, the rearranging [...]

I am blessed not to be doing this alone. I’ve visited chronic pain sites where husbands complain that their wives shut them out; wives complain that their husbands don’t understand; people are alone and don’t know where to turn.
My husband is always supportive. There are times I get angry because he’ll ask, “Do you think [...]
