I'm having a CFS and Fibro flare. It's extremely hard to wake up before 12 and I'm exhausted and achy all day. Lol. Last night I turned on the lamp beside the bed and fell asleep before I could do anything else. How I could even fall back asleep with the lamp light right in my face is a mystery to me. My bf woke me up and asked why I had the lamp on and I didn't even know. I think it had something to do with my cat. On top of the pain and exhaustion I also have bad fibro fog. The other morning I tried to put the oatmeal lid on the the milk. Lol. At least I didn't look for coffee in the oven again!
Anyway, lol. This sucks, being sick so close to Christmas. But I'm not going to let it get to me. Saturday I went to see The Golden Compass. It was good but it wasn't what I expected. I had a better vision of it in my head. If only I could draw or paint. I feel like I have a wasted gift. I'm surprised that it had such a good crowd, considering it's an anti-religious movie. More so in the other movies to come. I still liked it. And really, it touched me on a level I can't describe. I respect all religions, but I do think that religion has been forced upon people. One religion in particular. I believe that everyone is entitled to believe whatever they want. It's their spirituality and faith that they should find on their own. No one can tell you otherwise. And it was great that Pullman touched on this, questioned authority in a way. I won't say more. If this offends you, I'm sorry.
Saturday night my dad convinced me to go kayaking on Sunday. I struggled to wake up relatively early to get ready. But I managed and we had fun at Tribble Mill. Once I was in the water I was ready to go. And we spent a few hours kayaking around the lake, trying to find the best fishing spot for when it gets warmer out. "The girl who caught a 5 lb. bass" is a nice title, but I'm looking to catch better. Lol. I was amazed that so many people at the lake knew about me. Asking me for tips and asking permission to fish in MY area. Like I own the lake or something. Lol. To tell you the truth I know very little about fishing. And the only thing I'm capable of catching is bass. =P
Kayaking on the lake was a weird experience. I still have a fear of murky water. But that doesn't stop me. Yesterday the water was full of plant life that was only inches from the surface of the water. Dense clouds of it everywhere. It was an eerie feeling sticking the oar down to see where the bottom was and not being able to find it despite how shallow it appeared. I'll have to get pics and videos of it when I get my waterproof cam. If I can. The water is really clear so it is possible.
It was fun. But later that night I started to feel really bad, and despite the exhaustion, I was restless! I had to show a little discipline and skipped out on going today. =( It's killing me.
