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:

Just how does a week rush by so quickly???
Hubby is trying to get the house refinanced and today the appraiser came to see the house. He assured me that our house is not full of clutter.  I guess he sees all kinds of homes. He told me about one he saw just last week where he had to climb over toys and junk just to get in the front door...and that was the neatest part of the house.  Okay, we're not that bad.
As I tried to get just a bit of cleaning down before the appriaser arrived, the kitty drove me absolutely nuts. She really thought we were having a ball...as she tried to play with the bits of dirt that I swept into a pile. And she wanted to play with the mop and climb into the bathtub when I wiped it down. Grrr. She had lots of fun, but I'm exhausted!
I probably did just a bit too much this morning. The bitter cold wrecks havoc on the joints and pains.
Lately my ears have really been bugging me again. It's not the first time... The outsides of my ears feel as if they've been frotsbitten, even though I've been inside the comfy house (Well, as comfy as it can be with it being so cold outside. Our kitchen and living room are chilly.)
The first time I experienced this, I was still in Michigan and my doctor informed me that having ears that feel as if they've been frostbitten is sometimes one of the first signs of arthritis. They did all kinds of tests and determined that I didn't have arthritis.
I also had burning hands and the Michigan docs said that was also an early sign of arthritis. Turned out that my hands burned because I was about to get a rash on my hands and feet.
So...I guess I'll have to ask my Ohio doc about the ear thing. Maybe she'll have another answer. Meanwhile, it's doggone uncomfortable. It really was hard getting to sleep last night.

She told everyone to come on by my port. That was nice of her. So...y'all go check out hers too if you haven't already.

It's no wonder that folks find their way here after visiting these two blogs. (Stats show that it's true.)

Y'all make sure you read it!
I got an email about a conference being held at various cities around the country for baby-boomer women. They called them Boomer Women and "booming women."
The email said that Boomer Women are the most powerful demographic in our country. Well...we are a-plenty. That's why they call us Boomers. But I guess some of the most influential, dynamic and rich women were born between 1946 and 1964. Hmmm.
The list of boomer gals includes:
Oprah, Martha Stewart, Diane Sawyer, Katie Couric (have you seen her lately? Seems like she keeps getting younger looking...), Billie Jean King, Cher, Dolly Parton, Tina Turner, Meryl Streep, Diane Keaton, Condoleeza Rice. Yes, I know that Hillary is in the group too, but I was trying to ignore that... Billy Graham's daughters Ruth and Anne fall into the boomer category. I guess there is quite a bit of influence with boomer women.
Later gators,
