    • About Me

      I am a fun, goofy/quirky, sweet person who loves life but isn't able to "live" a lot of the time, only exsist. I have Chronic Fatigue syndrome and Fibromyalgia and a few other minor things. I am married to a wonderful man who has stayed with me for the 17 years that I have been sick and I thank God for that every day! We don't have any kids but we have a dog named Gracie who is our child :-). I have just discovered artistic painting over the past year and absolutely love it. I take classes and am represented by a local gallery. So any time I am well enough to paint is a wonderful day, it doesn't happen much in the winter, winter is when I am the most sick. I am in need of as much support as I can get. I have been fighting CFS and FM mostly on my own for 17 years and i'm becoming extremely weary of fighting. It's starting to affect me emotionally and spiritually as well and I would love some help and support. I need it. Hard for me to ask but I really do. I would also love to hear from anyone who's had good results in getting better with CFS treatments, things to try, who to contact etc. I am determined to get well, but until then I need some nurturing support.

    • Interests

      As I said I LOVE to paint, love it! I also love to watch movies and i'm a big reader of all kinds of fiction. I love to be surrounded by books waiting to be read and a story to be discovered. When I feel well enough I enjoy exc ersizing, walking and jogging. Love nature and being outside. I have a horse but have been unable to ride him for well over a year so I think he's going to have to get a new home, sad but necessary. I am really into antiques, and I love decorating. I am interested in old things in general, we live in a 101 year old house that I just love. Lots of fixing up to do but so fun to live here. I am a huge animal lover and wish I could have many pets!

    • Little Love

      From Roses25 Today

      LOL Oh my gosh!!! I LOVE the "checklist"!!!!!! LOL That is a riot and so damn true!! How do you do it? Think of those things and keep me smiling?! That was such a great hug!! I showered, and I am making it. I am in a fog and in pain, but putting one foot and hand in front of the other and crawling to do it. Okay, actual "crawling" isn't happening, there is too much dog hair on the floor, so it is figurative crawling. lol The attic is really getting exciting! I know the painting and the cleaning isn't so fun because there is so much of it, but maybe you will be sleeping there before Christmas! That will be so wonderful! And it will be so worth it when you look back on all that you have accomplished in the beautiful rooms up there! Today, maybe you can just rest and paint tomorrow. I know how sick you are feeling too. So I'm just gonna cluck a little. If you rest today, you will get through the upcoming days with just a little bit more. I know it's hard. I took your advice and left some things undone. I didn't bake any bars or brownies, but I have other snackie stuff that I have bought that I am taking along. AND I'm going to try and not do everything for everybody when I'm there. I'm going to try and have some down time. We will see how that goes. I miss everyone so much (I haven't seen them since August) and the interacting takes so much energy. Everyone wants my attention...which is nice, they love me:-) I have to pack tonight. I pack for me and the dogs, between the food, the toys, and the medicine it's alot. And that's for me and the puppies! LOL Grateful, Thankful, Gratitude Hugs for you, B and your little Gracie girl! I know that your Dad and my Mom, and probably Darla's Mom too are all looking down on us and they are so happy that we are together. Much love and many hugs!

I didn't get a chance to tell you in the message, cuz I had to go quick...dead computer battery. Also, you are such a good Auntie! I hope you cheer loud and the kids do well! That is so exciting!!! On TV!

      I VOTED!! I VOTED!! The first time in ages that I watched DWTS live and the first time all season that I voted! Yaaaay! It was fun! Okay, I'm gonna go to bed early. Much love and many thankful hugs!! Remember "two sickies are better than one"!!
