Little of this and A Little of that



a lovely day
Apr 07 2008

Today felt like the first day of spring..the weather was fantastic. Would love it if it stayed this way year around. Work was hectic, but I didnt let it get me down, I just went outside as much as possible. Pain has been bearable today. I went with my husband yesterday to take my daughter turkey hunting..that was an experience. I sit on a little seat for 3 hours in a blind, needless to say I had trouble walking back to to the truck. I have stayed on the  move most of today, seems like the more active I stay the less pain i notice. (strange huh).  Went to my sons ballgame and stood most of the time, we lost but I love watching him play. He is a big junior this yr and has so much athletic potential. He makes me so happy when I am watching him. My daughter is starting softball also... she is working on pitching this year, I am sure that will bring alot of smiles to my heart. My husband was put on nightshift for the next few weeks, so my whole routine has been flipped flopped. About the time I get use to this schedule it will probably change again...oh well. I am gonna take my meds and turn in for the night and hope for tomorrow to be as good as today.



What a weekend
Apr 05 2008
Well today it was so nice outside, but seems I was inside more than out. So much I need to be doing and just dont want to do anything, havent even been gettin on here as much. I think I feel betteronce I vent and read about others, and there are so many optomistic people here, it makes me have a total different attitude when i am through.  I am still going thru my head about seeing a psychologist, seems like one doctor leads to another and then another. Well my neck is spasming like crazy so time for meds i suppose and back to the couch. hugs to all.
not too bad of a day

today wasnt a bad day at all, the sun was shining, spring has to be here soon. Seems like this time of year is depressing itself.  Maybe I will find it in me to go grocery shopping...i know mykids are tired of ramen noodles..lol.

Still trying to figure out how the diary works.  I think the fibro-fog is taking over me sometimes. Well I had put that I may be in the hot tub by mid week...dont know where it saved it though..lol. Hmmm I think I just need to go back to bed
