Oh the weather out side is frightful.....lol.
We had our first snow on Friday a whopping almost 2 inches. It was pretty but gosh the cold is chillin these bones. Could it be that that nasty flu shot got me good? I am thinking the answer is yes. Other friends have not reacted at all to the shot, I have never reacted, but this year, well, it seems it may be my year!!!!! LOL. It won't last forever which I am very grateful for. And truly who can tell with some of the symptoms being the very same as fibro. When I got the shot I had to laugh when she said you may get some very achy muscles. That would be nothing new for this girl. So how would I truly know, I won't.....ahhh the live of never truly knowing. See I am mysterious after all. Yes, today I am making fun of myself, I am the best person to do that! Grin.

Now have I accomplished much, maybe not by others standards but by mine, lots. Laughter helps those stomach muscles and brings laugh lines to my face. It makes me remember not to take myself so seriously. Now I wish I could say I laugh at my jokes, the problem being, I can never remember them. Even the great ones I get told. I can remember part of them, but if you paid me a million bucks the punch line is usually what I forget....and why do they call it a punch line....another of those silly questions my brain hones in on.

What makes me think that if I don't get some task on my list done that I haven't accomplished anything. What happened to me sitting and enjoying the day, watching the wind blow through the yard, just plain vegging. We all need those restful, vegging days to rejuvenate. So rejuvenating is the day for me.

Here is to you and yours getting some rejuvenating in too!!!!

So Karin, I finally downloaded a few pictures just so you could see them. The first picture is of the whole crew together. The second picture is of Gimpy, who we keep. He had a lame leg, thus the name Gimpy and he seemed to fit in perfectly with the gimpy household that we have. We don't let handicaps try and get us down. We work at keeping going on good days and bad. Not overdoing mind you because extra pain is not needed.

It has been forever since I have been on here to write. The writing is for me, who cares if anyone reads it or not. Not this girl. Numbers were never my concern. Expressing myself has been.

I haven't been doing that near enough. Just seems like life has come a running along and I have had a tough time keeping up with it. Since the first part of September we have been battling sickness, the darn cold virus that put dear grand girl in the hospital, two weeks later put hubby in hospital and then a few challenges here and there in between. Goodness it makes time fly but certainly not the way I wanted it too.

The weather is chilly here now, making the muscles protest greatly. Working on keeping in good spirits regardless of the fight with the Fibro. Oh, don't misunderstand, it doesn't mean I haven't dealt with lots of bad days in a row, cried because of it, but it isn't what I choose to stay focused on. Ok, truth, when the pain is so bad it is hard to not want to scream dixie all day long, but dang my lungs would be sore if I did.....LOL. Besides, I like to talk to much, losing my voice would be hoard!!!!!!!

So much for being on here much longer, my knees are cold and curling up under a couple of blankets is sounding divine.

Here is to snuggling and keeping warm,
