Angie swaddled in her electric blanket.
I am in pure pain-survival mode. I can barely focus enough to understand Boy when he speaks to me. This is typical of this time of year for me. I am not ignoring you, Sky Friends. I'm just tying to get through this.

Angie with her hand supporting her head, covering half of her face. Her hair is messy, and she is wearing a dark tank top which is riding up her belly.
I think my communication skills flew south to get away from this Polar Vortex shit. Half the time that Boy asks me something, my reply is literally garbled syllables of nonsense.
Reading and writing are hit and miss.
Poor brains....

Angie doing her best to smile. Dressed in her cozy red sweater, sitting in her comfy chair.
Greetinga, Skyline!
I was up for a bit, earlier. Then
got a low batt warning from my meat mech, and collapsed back into bed. I think I'm awake for a while? I ate something. Refilled my water bottle. Gonna see how long my eyes stay open this time.

Angie is snuggling her stuffed red panda, Emmet, while laying in bed.
Alright, my darlings. My meat mech is having a tantrum, and forcing me to bed early. I may or may not poke my head in between now and 3 am, depending on if the pain actually let's me sleep. Until then, Emmet and I bid you goodnight.

Went upstairs to make lunch and looked out the window to find that Spring has come to visit. No bloody wonder I can barely think past the pain.

Also Me: *washes down a dark chocolate granola bar with a super strong black coffee, with a side of pain.*

Angie looks grumpy. She has visible under eye shadows. She appears to be nuzzling a canned energy drink. "Celsius Energy, Peach Vibe". She is wearing a T shirt with a Progress Pride symbol on it.
Nap was interrupted by pain. I disapprove. Time for some synthetic energy then.

As someone with chronic pain and health problems, there is a fine line between Getting Shit Done and Overdoing It. I like to place jump rope with that line.

Ange, you know that much caffeine isn't good for you, right?
Neither is the pain from migraines and existing with Fibromyalgia, and yet.
*continues to self medicate with copious amounts of caffeine and methocarbamol*

Yesterday, I kept forgetting to take my meds. Today, I took them and now I'm STONED! (on the pain relief endorphins, not the drugs themselves).
How am I supposed to get anything done now!??!?!

I was bellowing sarcasm at Boy. I did it with enough emphasis that something in my back went.... not quite pop? More like ping.
So ya, that's why no stream tonight, 'kay?

"Hey, Ange! You chew a lot of gum, why is that?"
"Well you see, it gets rid of the pain taste."
"The what now?"

Angie with resting derp face, staring off into space. T-shirt reads "Love Love Love"
It must be weathering outside, I've had coffee, and I still keep staring into space every 5 seconds.

Cookies have not yet been started, and the pain monster is starting to chew on me.... they may be waiting until tomorrow.

It's a bad fatigue day. Between this and a doctors appointment in a few hours, I know this is not going to be a productive day.
Cue anxiety. Self-doubt. Self-loathing.
Or something else?
Could today be the day I finally start giving myself some grace?
Yes, it could.
It will.
#FibroLife
My day job has been immensely stressful due to a number of internal service outages over the past couple weeks and I've been inundated with high urgency tasks and calls. And ya girl's outta sick days.
I just want a couple slow days. Need to breathe, get the stress down, reduce the pain. #fibrolife
When you're exhausted, but not sleepy, sensitive to the heat, but also freeze if you're sitting still!

I have this so much... especially in the colder temperatures. #fibrolife
In April, it will be 1 year of eating almost entirely gluten-free.I almost gave up, but then my husband bought me gluten-free crackers, and I think I'm in for the long haul.
I love food. It's so hard to give up food that I enjoy. It does help reduce hives and inflammation for me, tho. #fibrolife
