RubyRedSox's Journal, 03 December 2010

What a day! I swear I didn't accomplish a thing. Oh wait.. I made a big pot of turkey soup which turned out wonderfully. I'm stuffed. I however made a huge mistake.

Two days ago I decided to clean out and sort the closet I had stuffed with my mom's odds and ends ranging from yarns, embroidery threads and craft notions. Now that I have it out, I can't figure out how I had that much cramed in there in the 1st place. It's ALL OVER my livingroom! Obviously, it's a more daunting project than I had planned on. Funny, I used to be really good at organizing.

Fibro-fog for me resembles a cross between ADD and senility. I get sidetracked so easily and tend to easily feel overwhelmed. It doesn't help that I often run out of "spoons" before I've completed what I had set out to do, leaving a task that should've taken only an hour or two into literally days to accomplish. Sigh... Yet, as frustrating as this is, in the big scheme of things, dealing with the many challenges of fibro and diabetes my life is actually good. Lonely sometimes but good nevertheless.

On a happier note, it's nearly bedtime and my BG is 87.

It's really late but I'm achy. A nice hot shower really sounds gooood. I don't have to be up early for anything tomorrow anyway. I hope all is well with all my friends here on FS. G'night all:)

Love the description Fibro-Fog as I can relate lmao, especially about the feeling of being overwhelmed. Mine is Clutteritis, which is laziness mixed in with many blessings. Sleep well and remember there is a difference between being alone and being lonely.. TOWANDA!!!!!!!!

Ruby, I understand completely...sometimes I start projects and my Lupus will flare up and it will take me so much longer than I expected. But eventually I get done. I am sorry that at times you are lonely, but that is to be expected so soon after your mom's passing. Take your hot shower, and get some rest. Tomorrow will be better!

Thank you Lisa and Stef. This time of the year is a bit tough anyway. A couple of days ago my phone rang and without thinking I picked it up fully expecting it to be my mom. I admit I was very surprised when I realized my mistake. I'm pretty-much a shut-in because of my fibro, though I am much better than last year still I can't run around in the cold or over-do it as the cold really bothers me a lot. {{{hugs}}}
