Christina, prediction is for rain Sunday and Monday, then highs 70-80 and lows in 50s or 60s. Looks like mild, but not hot weather for the week.
How does the long drive effect your fibro? Brace yourself for the traffic. It is incredibly bad this year. |

Rainy and mid 40's predicted in my neck of the woods tomorrow.
Thinking about a small fire in the wood burning stove. Will have to see how I feel. If I'm aching too bad, I may just opt to stay in bed all day instead ...

My Fibro always flares just because of the long drive typically 12-14 hours. My husband back is still out so I’ll be driving the whole trip down, which I have done lots of times but we have rain the entire way down, bleh ! I am happy about the temps tho ... I spent many of Christmas’s at the beach and 90 degrees growing up. Oh gah the traffic !!!! I absolute hate it. I mean, I was just use to it living there basically my whole life ( moved from Ohio age 3, so florida native) but 15 years away and it’s tough to deal with now. I live in a small town, I can drive to see my Pdoc or T and maybe seen 10 cars and there’s just one flashing light between Home and the office. So yes being faced with Tampa bay traffic requires a Xanax or 2 __________________ Helping others gets me out of my own head ~ |

yesterday I watched the christmas bunny.
I get to watch this film once a year (just once), and yesterday was the day. it is my favorite christmas movie, but I got quite emotional over it (I always do, it's an emotional movie) but I did enjoy it. it's still really good even after all these years. it is now almost christmas. despite being really depressed and in a lot of pain (mainly my back), I am reallyooking forward to it- well that's a bit of a lie, I am looking forward to watching christmas carol on christmas day, more than the actual holiday itself, part of me just wants it to be over (the part of me that realises that the only person I'll be talking to on christmas day is myself) hope you all have a good christmas |

Raging Vortex, there's a Christmas gathering in the Coffeehouse here at PC on Christmas Day.
Maybe joining in would help you feel less alone? |

Pfrog, love the road trip pic. You find the best stuff.
Christina, pack plenty of patience. The interstates are giant parking lots lately. I had to go to our corprate office Wednesday, which means interstate travel. It was a friggin' nightmare. It reminded me why I chose to work in a location that lets me take backroads to work. There6so much development going on between me an the interstate that a trip that should take 10-15 minutes took me half an hour the other day. I'll think of you on your drive. |

Well usually the drive takes 13 hours give it take a bit. Well it was 17.5 hours!!!, massive road construction it’s was rain the entire trip. One area, the pavement was just gone half my car was off the road I have no idea how I got back on the road, accident after accident. 10 mins out of downtown Atlanta there was an accident ,backed up almost 10 miles , they finally forced everyone to drive have on the shoulder and off in the grass. There were dozens of accidents.. raining and people still drying like lunatics !!!! Unfortunately lots of blue tarps covering vehicles , very sad people dying and especially during the holidays , very sad. My body is on fire , joints are awful, my lungs felt just a bit better the other day. The pollution and cars , have my lungs struggling bad again. Ugh Gentle hugs If anyone talks to cakelady tell her I really miss here  Thanks __________________ Helping others gets me out of my own head ~ |

That doesn't sound like a fun road trip at all @~Christina! Hope the fire settles down a bit before the big day!
That cold, wind and rain did a number on my whole body yesterday too!  Feeling a little better this morning, but ... Dayum! Thankfully, after today, I will be off for 8 days straight! ... Woot!

Christina, your drive sounds horrid! I'm trying to psych myself up for the drive to a friend's house. I'm planning on backroads, so maybe traffic won't be too bad. 🤞

my christmas day wasn't anything to really write home about.
I was alone for all of it, I didn't get what I wanted (which was a given even before the day had started, I just didn't want to admit it), plus: my turkey dinner was less than average I am still feeling depressed today though, despite taking down the christmas tree. I don't know why it's such a big thing for me... when I take down the tree I get so emotional plus side to christmas is that I wasn't in much pain sat quite comfortably in my chair yesterday watching the muppet christmas carol |

Well, I've certainly lost a lot of ground over these past couple of years - 2019 especially! I still believe that all of this started with (and is directly related to) a severe allergic reaction I had to an antibiotic back in 2009. At any rate, I made a list of where I'm at right now - the physical and emotional impact all this has had on me and my body. Y'all don't have to read it as it could prove to be overwhelming, but I just needed a place to put it other than just letting it continue to swirl around inside my head with no place to settle.
Possible trigger:
There's been a lot of cursing and crying jags had during this past year, but now I kinda have an idea where I'm at instead of continuing to just wander around in the dark wondering exactly what the @#$%! is going wrong with my body. The upside for the year is I learned it's okay to ask for help, did a little advocating for myself, and was granted a much needed reasonable accommodation at work!
