Nothing much to say.
Ok, that says : nothing much to say in webdings. Seriously, how bored are people that they think up these things!!!
We made it through homecoming weekend and the subdivision garage sale last weekend. Morgan got contacts and back on her ADD medicine. I ordered new glasses and got my wedding ring back from the jewelers. Bryan got the jeep running and Amber had been driving it this week.
I'm very achey. My sinuses never cleared up with the z-pack I got a few weeks ago. Now, I'm on ceftin. Hopefull, this will work. The aches might be weather oriented or from the illness. All I know is I ache.
I'm glad it is almost the weekend.

Attitude
God has been working on my attitude. It isn't easy but I am working to stay positive. I can definitely see it rewarded in my marriage. It doesn't erase the ever-present issues but it does keep life calmer.
The cool weather has been a relief but has also caused pain in my joints. My hips, back and elbows this time.
Bryan got a new transmission out in his sister's old jeep and it may end up being a car for Amber and then Morgan would drive Amber's truck starting next June.
We went and ordered my Christmas present Saturday. I am having the diamond from my wedding ring reset. The diamond was my great-grandmothers that she received for her 25th anniversary. I never take my ring off because my fingers are always swollen from arthritis. The band has worn away and broken twice and the diamond has fallen out twice. It is going into a simple setting. I am then getting my mother's wedding band from her marriage to my dad re sized and will wear them together. I want to get several thin bands with diamonds and maybe sapphires in the next few years and stack them. I am excited about the new setting but also a little apprehensive since I have worn that ring for 23 years. I had the old band melted down and the money put towards my new ring so it is gone for good.
Work will pick up for me the next few weeks so hopefully my body will hold up. Our neighborhood is having a garage sale next weekend but I'm thinking it would be a bad idea for me to participate. I might make $50 but if my body gives out it will cost me way more. We shall see.

Improving
Things are getting better physically. The pain is lessened. My arms are very tired and overall I am so exhausted but I am feeling like I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. I got a massage yesterday and that helped so very much. I actually signed up for their once a month plan and believe me I will use it!

Doing better
The shot I got was to help the inflammation in my joints i.e. the rheumatoid arthritis. That had aggravated my fibro. The muscles in my bag are extremely stiff and knotted. The shot is starting to work and now I have to deal with the muscles. I am using heat pads, muscle relaxers and a "thumper", a large massage device with two knobs. I hope by mid week to be doing well enough that I would benefit from an hours massage.
Now, I have to deal with the emotional baggage. It wears you down to deal with this crap. Then I have all the rest of my usual baggage. I know that God is with me and will lift me up so I will be relying on God to the fullest. I hope by the end of the week to be perked back up; if I am not then feel free to kick my butt.

Taking it easy
I went and got a chair massage for my back. He said my muscles were very tight and a mess. Tell me about it! I then got an anti-inflammatory injection called depo medrol. So far, the arm I got the shot in is killing me, The doc did change my prescription to allow for 2 muscle relaxers a day. Now, I would rarely do that since I would be completely non-functioning but it is nice to have them available.
This weekend, I am gonna take it easy. I changed my methotrexate dose to Saturday so my bad day moves from Sunday to Monday. I have missed church two weeks in a row and hate that.
Amber is taking Morgan to the choir lock-in since I am not chaperoning due to feeling bad. Bryan is helping his little sister with a car issue tonight. I have several good books to read and plan to enjoy.
