I decided something tonight.

I've never considered myself to have fibromyalgia. This is largely because of things like the fact that my....symptomology, let's say....can be otherwise explained, whereas the conditions inherent within fibro tend to eventually be attributed to fibro because they are undeniable, but there is no other explanation. But ( Read more... )

Today was actually a pretty productive day. In the morning, I snuck in a shave and a shower -- yay for being clean! -- before coming downstairs. After reuniting with Jamie, I tracked down our copy of the lease, which had gone astray during a file cabinet switch-over, so Keainid wouldn't have to deal with trying to get Albina to zerox their copy ( Read more... )

I'm still behind, and moreover behind again, on updates (along with everything else). The short version is that the switch in Jamie's brain finally flicked after about a week of really bad sensory/autistic times, but just in time for him being capable of feeling good and happily learning and playing and being his normal-for-him self, he got a ( Read more... )

You know, I wish body shape was altered as quickly as endurance can be built. The following is my record thus far on our elliptical (with just about zero resistance). I have been intending to use it every other night, but first I had to spend some time at Niagara Falls, and then I sprained my toes with a staircase fall, and then I twisted my ( Read more... )

( Not as planned, but not a total loss... )

It is a couple of fools who, when it took several unexpected, last-minute schedule changes before getting two days off in a row, actually thought they might keep both of them off ( Read more... )

Alerted by Steph, I have discovered, and am here to announce (in a very tired voice, no doubt, and as soon as I take some more Tylenol Cold), that it is...

National Invisible Chronic Illness Week!

It would be easy for me to expound/rant upon this concept, but you know what? I just don't have the spoons for that right now. So, intead, I'm just ( Read more... )
