Argh! I wish 5 would hurry up and get here. I'm at work and I'm having a especially foggy day. So frustrating. I keep going to do something and then taking a couple of minutes to remember what the heck I was about to do. I don't dare tell anyone here I have problems with that. Don't want to jepordize my job. Oh, and my ass hurts. I thought the cushion in my chair had worn out...had the same chair for 5 years...so I switched my chair with one that never gets used. Not any better. Feels like I'm sitting on concrete. I guess I'm going to have to break down and bring a pillow to sit on. Okay...I'm done venting for now. Hope everyone is having an okay Monday.

I love my job but I'm having a foggy day as well and watching the clock until 5:00 p.m.

Hope your day gets better and you can hang in there.

You hang in there too. Only a few more hours to go (for me anyway..not sure if you are in the same time zone). I actually took a nap in my car on my lunch break. I was hoping resting my brain would help me out. No such luck. It will all be fine though....just another day.

Hope your day gets better too.

I soooo admire those of you who are working - I just don't know how you do it. You must be superfibrogals. Maybe it's just that we are at different levels of severity, but there's no possible way I could work anymore. Unless I can find a job where I lie down all day. Wouldn't that be nice?

Anyway, just checking in to give you some "snaps" for what you accomplish. And oh, how I remember watching that afternoon clock, even before I got sick. You're troopers!

Thanks! Snaps to you to and to all of us with Fibro. We each make accomplishments everday. Mine is getting through the work day...doesn't make mine any better than someone else who is just managing to get out of the bed. I was recently diagnosed and I'm still learning to deal with the pain and coping with the harsh realities of fibro.

Only two more hours!!
