Apparently, I have an abnormal brain. No. Really. People get paid money to figure this stuff out.

It's totally kicking my ass lately. It hurts to be touched. My clothes cause pain. Any part of my body that's bearing weight causes pain. Blah. I think that I'm borrowing spoons from 2010 by now. Sigh. (Here is the spoon theory, in case you have no clue what I'm talking about ( Read more... )

So I'm in this new drug study for Fibromyalgia. I'm really excited about it because I did so well on the last one.

So we enrolled Phelan and Brekke in an obedience class. Last night was our first class with them. Brekke did fabulous, as expected since she has been in a class before, and Phelan did surprisingly well. I was proud of both my girls.
