Thoughts
So, life goes on. Fibromyalgia may be a part of my life, but it is not going to be the only thing in my life. I didn't let the bipolar take over, so why should I give Fibro that chance? We joined the Y, and if we could just get life to slow down for half a second, maybe I could go get in the water or the sauna...
Timmy, my 9 year old, is having a bad time due to his Zoloft. His mania manifests as anger, anxiety, and aggressive tendencies like yelling. Not good. So we are starting to wean him off...a two-week process; then we will see what we can do from there.
Hubby's car officially died. Now is not a good time to buy a new one, but what can you do? So, another bill. Don't know how far I can make this budget stretch.
On the positive side, my friend moved in, and will be helping me out around the house. It is good timing since I will start spinal injections soon, and they put me out of commission for a couple of days per shot. She also supplies us with laughter and K-cups.
Also, I got to work a two-hour shift today and it was awesome. I was worried I would not be able to do it, but it was great. I held babies, played with playdoh, changed diapers, the works. It was a blast! And I will get to work each Thursday for at least the next few weeks. Every little bit helps.
My craft fair is next weekend and I am crafting away. It is very relaxing for me. And tonight my hubby and I are going out on a date to eat supper. So, things are ok right now. The good and bad are balanced.
Hugs and love to all of my friends here.

Hi kyslalee,
Sorry your son is struggling and you have to get a new car. We\'re dealing with budget constraints ourselves. Just in case fibro isn\'t enough to deal with! I love how you have said that life goes on despite fibro. I feel like having fibro is a war - sometimes it does beat me but that\'s just the daily battle, overall I will win the war and it sounds like you will too. I\'m so happy you got to go to work, sounds like you did what I used to do? Childcare? I haven\'t been able to go back and I miss it so much! Craft fair sounds like a blast! Wishing you a lovely weekend!
Sorry about your son and as a Mom I know it must be so worrisome. Hope everything can get back on track. Oh yes, the financial stretching of the dollar and the awful timing of something going wrong..... hope you can find a way to get a car.
Glad you have a friend living with you that can help and really liked hearing about your work!! Oh and how did the craft fair go???
Sorry I haven\'t been on much and I am behind on catching up. Feel better and I like your attitude about not letting fibro beat you!! xo
