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:

What a wonderful birthday celebration I had yesterday. What sweeties you all are. And did you SEE how many comments there were on the birthday forum? Well over the 55 I wanted, especially if you count the comments made on the blog thing-ey.  Thanks bunches!
Okay, let's switch gears a bit. I had no intentions on being drawn into the Imus debates and discussions. Oh wait, I have commented on the entries others have made. But I never intended on writing anything about it myself.
Today I have been a little confused. The words that guy used offended people, right? Well, what I don't understand is why those same words, said by that same guy are not offensive when they are used as news items. Today, I heard his voice spouting those words three different times. Yesterday the same thing. How many days has it been since the original incident? And those words have been repeated and repeated and repeated. How come no one is mad at the news stations for running that clip so much? That's what's been confusing me today.  I'm probably one of gazillions of folks who would not have seen that clip or heard the comment at all without the news media playing it. Or without the fuss that was made about it. 'Cause I just never was a fan of Imus. Every time I have tuned in to hear/see him, he has been being offensive to someone.
I have another prayer request of all those who do. Pray, that is. I've been in contact with a fellow who needs some part time office work. We talked, he asked for my resume, then we talked again. He wanted to know why I would be interested in part time office work...with my background and experience.
I was honest about my fibromyalgia and how working part time is the only thing I could/would consider. The man read some of my articles on business and society (at http://www.ezinearticles.com) and wants to talk with me for sure. He said that we're on the same page about business ethics, employee and customer loyalty, etc.
Turns out that besides the construction business he has, he also is opening up a coffee shop and gift store. Since I have retail management (and buying) experience, that's of interest to him. So is the fact that I can write...something more than a business letter. 
A few hours a week there, and volunteering at the church one morning a week just might make me feel a bit more useful. I'm sure not getting anything done in the way of housework. That physical stuff just doesn't love me anymore.
Well, I'm a bit tired after all that e-partying.  Or...I wonder if it was because our neighbors were partying outside (in 30 degree weather???) last night until after 1:30 a.m. I think they were celebrating my birthday and forget to invite me. The sure were loud.
