Sorry I haven't been here...

...in a while. It's been a roller coaster. Some days it's been time constraints, but most of them it's been either pain or fatigue, both from the Fibro.
         Had a couple days where I virtually hurt all over at once; arms, legs, back. And a few evenings where I didn't have the energy to write (type), only to read. The mouse doesn't take much energy.
         Kenzie's been in the same position, almost literally. Pain and / or fatigue. She's sleeping right now, asked me to get her up in a couple hours.
         I slept about 9 hours last night, midnight to 9 this morning. Did pretty good on energy that way so I took the futon apart in Tiffany's room and took it to the garage. We've got a bunk bed coming for her on Monday. Now I have enough energy to do my laundry and do a little updating, so here I am. But that's about the extent of my energy. I'll have that level for a while, but I'll probably run out of spoons (energy) a bit earlier than usual tonight. I'm going to try to stay up a little and watch the late news, though. I don't get to during the week. Can't afford that little sleep when I have to get up for work. It's not enough.
         Right now, my legs are JUST starting to hurt a bit. They'll take a while to really get to bugging me, thankfully.
         And I can't get TOO tired too soon. I have a 7:00 meeting of my high school reunion committee tonight. Stuffing just under 300 envelopes to get a response for our reunion in late September. 40 years since I graduated. That number's a bit hard to swallow right now, but it's not tearing me apart. Just hard to believe. It'll undoubtedly be a bull session too LOL. We did that at a local restaurant a couple months back when we started organizing this thing. Met at 7:00, didn't break it up till about 10:30. We'll see what I feel like energy wise after tonight's meeting is over.
