Have finally joined fibromyalgia  and cfids_me (maintained by the incomparable dahliablue  ); dunno what the hell took me so long! Even though I don't know what I have, it's wonderful to be able to connect with more people who understand. I have had the blessing of people on my regular friends' list who understand what I'm going through, and it's been amazing. I am looking ( Read more... )

Afterthought

If you treat me like an afterthought
I should leapfrog your plans
dance upon your intentions
delay your beginning
until, when you finally arrive at me
you are on time
and I am the Only thought

Then again, it only occurs to me
After I've thought about it.

Actually, I am going to try NOT to cram too much in today...  Busy Sunday, as always, but I'm not going to make myself crazy... RIIIIIIIGHT! Three nights last week of not sleeping and 4 days of shrieking body is a pretty damned good smack in the head to SLOW THE FUCK DOWN! So, as usual, I have to make a list to keep myself focused or I will end up ( Read more... )

So that's twice today I've nearly set myself on fire. I get the point(s). I'm all done cooking for the day and I need  to sleep more. The irony is that I cook meals ahead so I can sleep later in the mornings and I light candles to relax my mind so I sleep better at night. And just now, had my shirt actually caught fire, the only liquid immediately ( Read more... )

Last year I wrote about how Brave New Voices, a documentary about Spoken Word/Poetry Slams brought me to my feet cheering and left me crumpled on the floor weeping - and all the time inspired me like no other Art Movement has in a very long time. Last season's episodes are being re-broadcast as a buildup to this season. And I especially wanted to ( Read more... )

I feel marginally better in my head now that I've gotten that rant of my chest. Physically I don't feel much better, but I needed to get all that crap out of my head. Thank you all so much for your support. It helped a lot!

Once again, it is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Wear your pink proudly (I am going to again attempt to wear pink every day ( Read more... )

The Fabulous Friday 5 (or Satisfied Saturday 6) is about taking the time to focus on the good things. Post 5 or 6 things that made you smile during the week. It doesn't matter if it happened to you, to someone else, if you saw it in the news or when you were walking through the store. Just put aside the negative for a moment and share pleasure, big ( Read more... )

OK, so I have not posted since Tuesday, and I apologise for it, but I've been knackered. I will do a FFF/SSS this week, promise. For now, before I haver off to get ready for work, just want to reassure you I've gotten through the week OK, without falling over dead or having any of my bookshelves fall on me (I know endlessblush  worries about that occasionally ( Read more... )

I just discovered the most hysterical positive about being short, crippled and restricted from activity ( Read more... )

Breast Cancer Awareness Month officially is October.

For no reason known to me, I decided May was going to be my Breast Cancer Awareness month this year, and I wore pink every day.

I have said it may times, and I will continue to say it over and over and over: Ladies, do your breast exams, talk to your doctors, listen to your doctors. Gentlemen, do ( Read more... )
