I want to cut my hair short. Actually, it’s pretty short already. But it takes too much work – especially to get the back to lay right. With fibromyalgia, my arms really complain if I try to work for any time at all on styling my hair.
So I thought I might get it cut a [...]

Catch Up Day

Yesterday I woke up and wondered who had driven the big rig hauling double over my side of the bed while I’d been sleeping. Only meds and more sleep helped me have a tolerable day.
Today I woke up and wondered who I was and what had been done with my old body. I felt better [...]
A Sunny Good Friday
Posted in Christian, Church, Day to day, General, Life, Spiritual on March 22, 2008 | 1 Comment »
Over the years, I have noticed that Good Friday weather here in central Massachusetts has a tendency to follow the mood of the day. Somber, sad and often downright depressing. Even a day that has started out with sun will turn by mid-day. It would become overcast, even if there is no precipitation.
This year was different. [...]
Recovering from Life

So much has happened since my last post, I almost don’t know where to start. So I guess I go chronologically.
Sunday was our long drive home from Hershey, PA. In spite of taking numerous breaks to stretch, I spent most of the day with my eyes closed, trying to convince the headache that was trying [...]

My step-son and his girlfriend arrived a bit later than they expected, but otherwise safe and sound. My husband got them checked in and we discovered he had gotten them the room directly across from ours. How convenient. How cute.
My fibromyalgia has been acting up a bit more today. Aches and a headache that’s been trying [...]
Saturday Morning Reconnaissance

Although there were rain showers overnight, the rain was gone by morning. That’s the best way to have rain, if you ask me. I slept a little late because we had some “neighbors” in the next room who never learned to talk in their “indoor voices” when they were young. Or younger, I should say, [...]
Wandering amidst the Amish
Posted in Day to day, General, Life, Travel, Vacation on March 14, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Today we spent our time in “Amish Country.” I put that in quotes because that like saying a particular spot is “Catholic Country” or something. It makes no sense. Being Amish is about much more than living in a particular part of the country. It’s about family history, faith, a choice to live within certain [...]
Traveling the Lincoln Highway

We left Pittsburgh this morning with the sun shining for the first morning since we left home on Saturday. Figures. Before I leave the topic of Pittsburgh, though, I do want to remark on the buildings in this city. While there are certainly a number of bright, shiny new glass & steel models, they have [...]
Pittsburgh Penguins beat Buffalo Sabres

Finally, the goal of our trip has arrived. We attended a hockey game between the Pittsburgh Penguins and the Buffalo Sabres. These are the same two teams that played on outdoor game in the snow in Buffalo. Gratefully, this game was in Mellon Arena, not the sub-arctic.
We left the hotel early, 5:45 for a 7:30 [...]
Driving around Pittsburgh

I slept a bit late this morning. I think all the driving for the past 4 days is finally causing my fibromyalgia to catch up to me. I thought maybe the extra rest this morning would help, but it really hasn’t. I have the overall fatigue that no amount of sleep seems to alleviate. So [...]
