Each Day Already is a Challenge
A Texas Sunrise
 
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:

It looks like I've almost missed creating a meaningful blog entry today. The clock is ticking and it's almost midnight.
What a day it has been - weatherwise. Golly gee whiz. We've had sleet, then rain, then things got really icy - including our porch and sidewalk and finally it snowed on top of everything.
The tree in our front yard was so pretty this afternoon. I have a purrrrty picture of a tree that was in my parent's yard in Michigan, with snow lacing the branches. Today, the tree in our yard was just as awesome, but it had crystal clear ice hanging from the branches. Just beautiful.
Hubby drove my son to work this evening. I have never driven in icy conditions and really don't know why I should start now.  As hubby was warming up the car - after having had to get a layer of ice off the windows and mirrors - my son said, "Well, with both of your fellows going out in this stuff, aren't you afraid we'll get killed?"
It had crossed my mind that I would have rather had the kid call off work. But he wasn't feeling well last night and called off, so he really couldn't do that tonight.
Thankfully, he has a ride home in the morning. The weather dudes are telling us that on top of the ice and snow and ice that we'll be getting even more snow. Maybe another inch or three.
As my mom and grandma used to say, "Lovely weather, isn't it, dear?" Right.
Just a few weeks ago some of the local folks were complaining that we weren't having any winter weather. Hope they're happy now. |
