Today I didn’t take a nap. Lately, the days I don’t nap are so few and far between it’s worth marking. Yesterday we had an errand to run that required my presence. Walking in, waiting 5 minutes at most, sitting through the appt., walking out, and coming home took a total of about 2 hours. [...]

with a whimper

This has been an extremely difficult few days. The illness itself seems to have mostly run its course, but it has left me feeling like a wet rag. I can’t focus, can’t sit upright for longer than an hour or two, and I am sleeping an inordinate amount. My hands, feet and upper spine are [...]

It’s been a day. And a half. I’ve been having trouble with routers and telephone service, and networking issues, and I’ve spent much of today trying to figure those out, as well as edit an old contract to make it fit with the way real people do business these days… and then came the communist [...]
i hab a cold

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. [...]
it wasn’t supposed to be like this

Today was a pretty high pain day if I tried to do anything other than sit. Talking on the telephone was exhausting; so of course I did a lot of it. Typing kills, and yet I’m not quite done. If I hadn’t spent time on the telephone today then the mortgage people would be calling [...]
the white rabbit…

I’m late, again, but I’m not nearly so excitable about it as the White Rabbit was.
I’ve been having more and more difficulty concentrating lately. Part of it was the extreme levels of clutter in the house, part of it was the higher levels of fatigue. I haven’t done much today. The last few days even [...]

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 [...]
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 [...]

No, not what you think. I’ve been having a lot of headaches lately. I assumed they were somehow related to my sinuses or were an increase in migraine or a different kind of migraine, or something. I knew that how a headache was classified is determined in great part by where it appears, so today [...]
welcome to the grind

This is the short introduction. Really.
It’s been impressed on me that I need to keep better track of the pain I experience, where, when, how often, etc. I’ve also been told that some people find knowing about it validating. “That’s my pain!” makes us feel less isolated. It’s not all in my head after all! [...]
