Gus, no Prince Charming needed (or wanted) here. Otherwise "magical" sounds good.

This has nothing to do with fibro, but I thought y'all could stand a good laugh.
I had to take a selfie to send to HR for a new ID badge. I snapped the picture and took a look. My first thought was "Holy crap! When did I turn into my mother?!?!?!" |

I am in quite severe pain today.
my bracelet broke though- need to find a way to bend down and pick up the beads (though I may give it a day or so) I don't want anything to happen and I'm not sure I can cope with the pain today |

I posted elsewhere I'm feeling overwhelmed today.
I've mentioned before that I still own my mom's home I inherited when she died. That was in the midst of the financial crash. I held onto the house because the market was so bad. Then I thought I'd move into the house when I retire. The house is in a 55+ community. The folks who lived there when mom was alive were nice, every day kind of folks. The demographics have changed. The people there now are busy bodies who are in everybody else's business. I do the best I can to look after the place. I go once or twice a month to spruce up the outside to keep it up to standards. I've gotten three letters in the last year about weeds in the flower beds. I went an cleaned things up as soon as I got the first two letters. I'd already cleaned things up by the time the third one reached me. I was there two weeks ago, pulled the few weeds there were, trimmed bushes, that sort of thing. I thought the yard looked nice when I got done. Yesterday I got a certified letter with a fine for $100 because I haven't kept the place up. There no explanation of any current problem, just an abusively word letter about the "eye sore." I'm pissed beyond words. I'm also feeling overwhelmed. Mentioned before that I have a couple of weeks off work with plans to do some things both around the farm and mom's. Now I'm feeling pressured to prioritize mom's place. I need to rest. I know I need to rest. At the same time I need to get mom's place taken care of. I'm going to put it on the market ASAP. I can't maintain both places. And there is no way in hades I want to live in a place where other people have their noses in my business all the time. To top things off I woke up yesterday to the onset of a flare . That was before I got the letter. Read the letter, stress level went through the roof and flare was off to the races. Thanks for letting me rant everyone. I'm a little less stressed as a result. Typing things out helped me lay out a plan. Flare is still kicking my butt, but at least I have a plan. |

I e-mailed the condo commandos this response to their letter. Will let you know their response. Again, flare is still kicking my arse, but emotionally I feel a little better for having taken action. Maybe the last bit is not nice, but I'm **** about people who can not get my last name right.

Cake, you are important and you are loved.
Liz, I am horrified that you are going through this mess with your Mom's place. Give them what for! Vortex, I am sorry you are having such a hard time. You need a "picker upper" thing. Mine really helps me. IfI've gotten your name wrong, please forgive me. Gus, I want to see a video of you doing the hip joint dance. Thank you so much for the beautiful, beautiful pictures. It must take a lot of energy to find them and post them and I appreciate them so much. No matter what, never, never ingest sucrulose!!!! I decided to cut back my sugar intake and started using sucrulose, (the yellow packets), in my tea and my baking. I have been completely down sick and in such pain that I hurt every where and have been spending a lot of time in bed. I can't even stand for my shoes to touch my feet. I searched Splenda and arthritis and didn't come up with the right info to match how I'm feeling. Yesterday I finally searched Splenda and fibro. Oh my! It described everything. This is a warning to you all. I love you. __________________ I still dream and I still hope, therefore I can take what comes today. Jan is in Lothlorien reading 'neath a mallorn tree.

oh, at last~! evidence of Jan~ (i knew you must be in agony~ ) Liz, could you threaten to take them to small claims court unless they rescind the fine? plus they would have to pay court costs, and time lost from work (unless you have evening court there). often just the threat of fighting back makes them back down~ __________________ AWAKEN~! |

The e-mail provided in the letter apparently goes to an office person. I got a politely worded note from her saying she was forwarding my message to the president of the association and that she would take care of the error with my name. We'll see how it goes. If they push it with the fine I have a legal service as a benefit I pay for at work. I'll contact them to see what they can do about it.
When mom died I really planned to move into her house when I retired. There's going to come a day when I can not take care of the farm anymore. I've decided that this is NOT the place I want to live though. Out here in the boonies we all just do our own thing on our own property. Living with a bunch of busybodies who would have their noses in my business just ain't gonna work. My Redneck Princess (fond memories of George H for giving me that nickname) would end up showing her potty mouthed side to one of them one day. |

Vortex, Jan probably means one of those gizmos that has pinchers on one end and a trigger kind of thing on the other for reaching things on the floor and picking them up. I got one for a friend who had back surgery and could not bend over. She loved it. I got it at Dollar Tree where everything costs a buck.
