The end of the month

I work in accounts receivable so every "end of the month" is stressful.  Today was a 12 hour day.  It's long for anyone, but factor in fibromyalgia and especially chronic fatigue syndrome and it's more than tough.  And will have to be back at work in a matter of hours, yet I'm here at the computer.  My muscles are tense, even after a shower, and I don't want to "waste my time" sleeping, rather be playing on the computer!  But I also wanted to mention is tomorrow is wear blue for Autism.  I used to do care for a child with Autism, a sweet boy who loved playing the drums.  He was special in many ways.  A few years ago I saw him, now over 6 feet and a grown man, but still had the same sweet face.  There are so many forms of Autism but more research is needed, just like in so many other different medical fields.  It's important to support all of it, even if someone you personally know doesn't have it.  Besides that, just wish tomorrow was a "holiday" for us accounting people but alas, it's not so Happy April Fool's Day and I'll write again soon!

The start of the blog

Trying to start a blog.  Thought it might be cool for other crazy fibro people, or just crazy people in general, to share.  My life exists around my family (husband, 4 kids, and 1 pug plus extended family) and work and the fibro and chronic fatigue and depression and anxiety, etc....  It's always something.  And always something going on at home.  How could it not be with a husband, 4 kids, and a pug?  Hmmm...... not possible.  Not the best writer in the world, but better at writing than I am at talking.  I am an only child.  The lonely only, which is why I am glad to have 4 children.  Three boys and 1 girl.  Fibro has been a part of my life for a long time.  I had mono as a teenager and never felt the same after that.  Never had my energy back.  Now I'm working crazy hours and I feel crazy anyway, and I just had my birthday, which of course never makes you feel young, but I'm glad to have made it another year.  I hope to post about my daily struggles, my life, and hopefully some information about fibro from websites or things I find on my own about living with fibromyalgia, depression, chronic fatigue, and maybe other things.  Just comment if you want to talk about something.  Just make things PG please.  This entry is short and sweet, sort of lack luster, but hopefully I can start this and it be a way to 1) make me feel better 2) help someone who feels as crazy as I do and 3) why not - lol.  Hope everyone is doing well.  ((((hugs))))
