Interests
My kids' sporting/music/art events. I'm a TV/Movie junkie. Love my PC! Reading when I have time. I enjoy working around the house, inside & out. In the summer we like to go camping, fishing, to cook-outs--the usual redneck kinda thang! For the last year or so it's been really hard for me to do the things I love because of this damn disease and virus. I'm just so tired all the time, and I have absolutely no energy. I've spent several weekends in bed, and my house is suffering as much as me!

Ray of Sunshine
Thanks! This list is great! Of course I know that I will have no sides and that this will be like a sunny day at the beach for me.....(I have to keep telling myself that so that I have the courage to start, then I'll just deal with whatever comes my way). LOL
In reality I know this will be hard....but I have the love and support of a network of people spread out around the country (and world) who will all help me and my family get through this! Thanks for being one of those people!
Thanks
thanks oh wing-ed one!
