birthday celebration

So last night we celebrated my step-dad's and my birthday. Well, celebrated his late and mine early such as it was. It was nice. I got gift cards to Trader Joe's and Fred Meyer. My thumb was hurting when I was cutting my cake so I almost handed off that duty to my mom but didn't want to draw attention to myself. The only annoying part was my step-dad, I think he doesn't believe I have fibromyalgia or at least I don't have it like I claim to. He thinks it is all a matter of conditioning that if I exercise I'll feel all better! Or something like that. I can tell my mother (who has mild fibro) doesn't agree with him since she gets very quiet when he talks about that. It is still obnoxious to have to deal with.
Oh, well. For today....clean kitchen, clear path to kitty food and water bowls for the person who is taking care of said kitty while we are out of town, also call my rheumy and see if I can work up to 300mg gabapentin in the morning since 300mg in the morning right away had side effects from hell or as my co-worker used to say "h-e-double hockeysticks".
Hope everyone has a good Monday! -- Genny
