Halloween and stuff
Ah...once again rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated. Despite neglecting to update my live journal...nothing noteworthy has been happening.
I started taking Cymbalta which should help with the Fibromyalgia pain as well as the depression. I have been on the full dose for not quite a week...so it is too soon to tell if this is going to work out. It is helping a tiny bit with the pain and has cut my high anxiety level in half...which has been wonderful! I know I haven't talked about going back on psych meds, but it was not a decision made lightly. I just haven't been ready to share with everyone yet.
This has been one hell of a year as far as my health goes, but I'm still here. Not planning on going anywhere for a long, long, long time. I fight, I come out the other side, and I am stronger and smarter than before. If only the actual journey was that easy!
Okay...as for Halloween Marcos, Gina and I got dressed in our costumes, took some pictures and then spent the afternoon into the night hanging out, eating appetizer foods for dinner and watching movies. We watched It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown. which I hadn't seen in years...I still love those original Peanuts specials from the 60's. Then we watched A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving because I had never seen that one. I don't know how I missed it. I liked it, a lot. After that we watched Corpse Bride which I had also never seen. I loved that one. :) And then we watched one more movie, the original Frankenstein from 1931. The one where Boris Karloff played Frankenstein's monster. That was awesome too.
And now for the costume pictures. I'll put them under a cut for you...

The now traditional picture of the three of us in front of my stove.
Marcos a member of The Chimp Mafia!
Gina the Pretty and Smiley Witch!
Me dressed up as a baby, complete with binky to suck on. They don't taste very good!
And here I am drinking from my bottle of apple juice.
So there you go, a small update and Halloween pics. I'm going to concentrate on my IM chat with Nicky now. I hope everyone had a happy and safe Halloween!
