I am posting a letter I wrote for an organization for which I volunteer because it contains information of general interest about the Pine Ridge Reservation. I have written often of my love of the Lakota people and the needs they have. I hope you will take the time to read this letter and consider [...]

Time to Regroup
Posted in Day to day, Fibromyalgia, General, Lakota friends, Life, Pine Ridge Reservation, Travel, Vacation on October 17, 2009 | 1 Comment »
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 [...]
Dancing with the Stars

I am very excited that one of my favorite shows has finally started it’s new season. I hadn’t been watching much TV since Deadliest Catch closed their seasons.
Dancing with the Stars (or Dancing with the “Doobers”, as my husband calls it) has the spontaneity of live TV with the fun of seeing people outside their [...]
I don’t feel anything

I should clarify that. I do feel physical pain. You can hardly avoid that when you live with Fibromyalgia.
I don’t feel anything about learning that my stepfather has esophageal cancer. We found out today. I don’t feel any emotions about it at all. I don’t understand that.
I do feel emotions about other people and other [...]
Heart Palpitations and a Seizure
Posted in Day to day, Family, General, Health, Heart palpitations, Hospital, Life, Seizure, Uninsured on September 18, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
The last two weeks of August brought more excitement than I needed!
Due to the heart palpitations that had caused my husband to be hospitalized for observation, he ended up being scheduled for a number of cardiac tests. First he was given a 24-hour monitor to wear. It made him aware of every palpitation because he [...]
2 months of time lost?

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? [...]
Exit Glacier
Posted in Day to day, General, Life, Travel, Vacation on July 3, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Today I felt good enough to hike to the edge of Exit Glacier. That’s really the name of the glacier – but it sounds like it ought to be the punch line for a joke or a stage direction in some play.
Exit Glacier is part of the Kenai Fjords National Park, just minutes north of [...]
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 [...]
Kenai Fjords National Park — Whales, Birds and Sea Lions
Posted in Birds, Day to day, General, Life, Travel, Vacation on July 2, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
I’d have posted this yesterday, but we didn’t get back to our room until 9:30 PM and I was really exhausted.
We took a tour yesterday – a 6 hour cruise into the Kenai Fjords National Park. It was done by a company called Kenai Fjords Tours and left from the small boat harbor, perhaps a [...]
Alaskan Rest Day
Posted in Day to day, General, Life, Native American, Travel, Vacation on June 30, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
When we’re on a long vacation, we try to build in a rest day or two. These are days when we don’t run around very much, so we can enjoy the days when we do more.
Today was one of those days. I got a really good sleep last night. The mattress was firm and my [...]
