Each Day Already is a Challenge
A Texas Sunrise

Sunrise on Surfside Beach, Texas

A friend, William Taylor, took this picture. He visits Surfside Beach with his dogs almost every morning, watching the sun rise while the dogs prance about at the water's edge.

This is only about ten miles from where I lived in Lake Jackson, Texas. Sadly, I only visited this beach about four times in the six years I lived nearby.




Each day is a challenge. A challenge to get by without thinking about the fibromyalgia pains. A challenge to stay awake when chronic fatigure wants to take over. And a challenge to navigate through fibro fog.

I haven't been writing as much as in the past. For years, I wrote at least 500 words a day. Now, I'm lucky if I write 500 words in month. Sigh.

For more information about what my day (or life) is all about with fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, chronic pains, IBS, depression and everything else thrown in, check this out:

My pain and welcome to it.

I woke to the alarm clock this morning like any morning. Although I don't work, I do usually have to drive my son to and from work. Each morning, I await his call. His shift should be finished at 6:30 a.m., but his actual departure time is anywhere from 5:30 to 8 a.m. When he called at 6:30 he said, "I have a ride, Mom."

"Are you sure?"

"Well, I know you don't like to drive in this stuff."

I looked out the window and was shocked to see about two inches of snow.

"Oh my goodness, it snowed."

"Yes. And I have a ride."

"Good. Tell your ride to drive carefully."

I'd hate to be the weather forcastors. Each station agreed on the forcast for the next few days. We were supposed to get a rain, sleet and snow mixture starting this afternoon. My hubby had already suggested that Derek might find a ride coming home on Monday morning.

When I woke up this morning, I didn't even check on the weather. The 11 p.m. news had not mentioned getting any precipitation this early, and when I went to bed aroud 1 a.m. there was not a hint of the white stuff.

Some folks will be thrilled. They've been so upset at this year's lack of snow. Tiffany has been hoping for a snow day. If this keeps up, she just might get her wish.
