This Is A Sprint, Not A Marathon

When I look back… in a few weeks, I won’t remember the frustration and the pain and the frustration and the pain I’m experiencing by even sitting upright. The situation with my back is getting pretty bad. Or maybe that’s my perception because I was working around the house, attempting to do some chores today.… Continue reading

Dark Phases

First off… Oww. My oldest cat left claw marks on me. And in me. To be fair though… it is partially—or mostly—my fault. I went ballistic when I realized the source of the stench and feces around different spots in the house… was her butthole. And yes, I said butthole, because that’s what it was.… Continue reading

You Won’t Need Other Friends Anymore

I feel less like death warmed over today. I’m not sure what happened yesterday. I didn’t use my notebook. And you know what? I probably didn’t write it down because I didn’t want to remember. Tonight, I’m going to be up, as my assignment was changed yesterday morning. I’m also dealing with general groans and… Continue reading

Icebox

So… one—It’s freezing in here! Two—Oww! Had bloodwork done again today. Different doctor. She’s worried I might have muscle breakdown that could cause damage to my kidneys. We just went on this frightening carousel with my rheumatologist. However, my primary wanted to check still. She was also horrified when she saw the last draw they… Continue reading

You’ve Lost That Burning Feeling

I don’t think I’ve hurt all over this bad in… quite some time. The temperature’s been fluctuating so much here that my fibromyalgia is acting out to an extreme degree. I was laying in bed for most of the day because I hurt so badly. I’ve joined NanoWrimo, primarily for NtC and C&R II. Got… Continue reading

Recharge

I’m trying hard not to think about what it means if my bloodwork shows evidence of muscle breakdown. Some of the possibilities are very detrimental to my overall health. I don’t like this – the constant sensation of feeling so tired and weak. One thing I do know is that I have got to find… Continue reading

Come Back And Play Now!

I had to struggle so much to get the basics done. I never did finish that second assignment, and I hope to get it done Sunday evening. Technically, I haven’t started it yet, but we’ll keep it at “did not complete,’ because I did not complete it. I don’t hurt as much as I assumed… Continue reading

Willing Fire

So, I took my anxiety medication last night… and the result was me sleeping for over 9 hours. The way I decided to take them was funny. I stood there, stared at my pills and acknowledge that I had nothing else to do the next day. And I needed to de-stress. The problem was that… Continue reading

No Can Fix

I’m tired… So tired. All because of being angry. So angry. I want so badly to crack open this new notebook. I finally have a new orange notebook for “Catch & Release II,” and step 1 for me is not to start writing. Rather… I need to pen out my outline for it. I think… Continue reading
