Ouch!

Dunno really what I did to my back yesterday.... By the time I went to bed it felt as if my spine had been replaced with a metal rod. Didn't do anything out of.the ordanary.
General clean up, walked the dog, and hung out celebrating. Celebrating 12 years with honey and celebrating friends 28th birthday. Like I said nothing out of normal routine.
Woke up today to the metal rod still there. Can barely bend my neck and forget twisting or bending my back. Going to be a long day. Supposed to go on a day trip with my friend and the kiddos, we will have to see after meds kick in. At least the throbbing has stopped.

Living within our means...

Okay sorry been a couple weeks.... Major things going on. husband totalled the truck. He and our friend are okay! But dealing with insurance claims sudden constraints of one vehicle left us both trying to find up. 

One thing we all know living with any chronic illness is stress and lack of sleep make it 100% worse. Now that things are settling down and I can feel and think again.
Ready to celebrate 12 years. And toast to another 12 (or longer)..
Time to focus in on controlling weight gain and stress eating! Going to restart morning work outs. That means getting my butt out of bed at 6am... Have to get it in before the three kids take over the day...
Sure do hope that getting back in that groove my hands, hips and ankles loosen up again... May have to use this blog to hold myself accountable..... We will see...
I know this one is all over the place but so much has happened and my brain is still quite scrambled!
See ya soon!

A new year a new me.

Happy New Year! It has been a couple of months... Feels like a lifetime since I last posted.
Updates are as follows:

1: I have decided NOT to go back to my paying, time clock punching job.
2: I have also gotten off Cymbalta. Few reasons... One felt way to fakely perma happy on it. Two monthly cost without insurance is $385. Ummmm staying home means less income flow. Three it was causing many unwanted side effects.
3: Chopped off all the dead fried over processed hair. Went back to my short easy to manage natural hair style.
4: Living with both Fibro. and A.S. Is more than I bargained for. Some days cannot take a deap breath because ribs and mid spine are painful. My ankles are locking if I sit or sleep wrong... My hands well they have good days and bad. Bending at my back is quite comical... Friends have seen me almost fall flat on my face because things don't straighten as I stand up... And you know having others laugh with me makes the difference.
I have choosen to accept and live within my physical, emotional, and financial means.... 2012 is shaping up to be a good year...
PS Hubby and I celebrate 12 years of marriage in less than two weeks and we look forward to many more!
