We just returned home from a two week driving vacation and I need another vacation to recover. We don’t usually drive almost continuously when we travel, but this trip was a bit different in many respects.
I think I’ll just outline it first, then write about segments as I find the time. I think my fibro [...]

Has it really been over two months since I’ve written on this blog? It can’t be . . . can it?
I guess it is. Let’s see if I can reconstruct that time. If I can, it means this fibro fog challenged brain has pulled off a minor miracle. What was the date of the last entry? [...]
Hit by a Whale?

I was afraid I would pay for the 6 hour cruise we took yesterday. Don’t get me wrong. The tour was great and I had a good time. But those of us who live with fibromyalgia know that we often pay for the things we most enjoy. I was right!
I woke this morning about 7 [...]
Alaska – The State that Delivers!!

Yesterday, on our first day in this state, we had taken a short drive along the Seward Highway. While watching the tide rush back in to the inlet was interesting, it was the wildlife that really excited us.
Our trip took us no more than 15 to 20 miles away from our hotel in Anchorage. We [...]

I recently took a volunteer position with an organization that finds sponsors for Lakota children and elders on the Pine Ridge Reservation. I’ll be matching sponsors to those who need one in two areas of the reservation.
Little did I know (and wasn’t told when offered the spot) that I would need to send out letters [...]

This is going to be one of those hodge-podge kind of posts. There’s a lot going on around here.
First of all, I was without a car for a little over a week. Not because there was anything wrong with my car, of course. It was my son – the guy with Asperger’s – who had [...]

I’ll just bet that title got a lot of attention.
The other day I noted that I had taken a bit of a detour and that was one reason I hadn’t posted for a bit. I would like to be able to blame that detour on fibro fog or senility (I am, after all, closing in [...]

I can’t believe this. I thought it was gone. I wasn’t paying attention and hit the wrong key — and supposedly deleted this blog!!
But here it is, safe and sound. I don’t get it – but I am immensely grateful. I had a second blog for a short period of time – it served it’s [...]
Mother’s Day Fiasco

I have two children, so I qualify to celebrate Mother’s Day. But most recent years, I’ve celebrated quietly with my husband.
I have a daughter who will be 30 in a month and a son who is 27. My son, who has Asperger’s Syndrome, still lives at home – though we are working on that with [...]
Don’t Deny It — Blame It!

Over 45 years ago, I started having symptoms of something that had no name and for which there obviously was no test. The symptoms included pain, especially headaches and leg pain at that time. The pain worsened as my period approached, peaking at that time, then lessened for a bit, cycle after cycle. It wasn’t [...]
