It’s been over 2 years since I wrote on here. A lot has happened. Eating healthier and the right mix of medication has got me feeling much better. I’ve even started working!

I have an office job, my own office and some responsibilities that allow me to get up and move around. This is important because I could be confined to sitting the entire day. I also wouldn’t be able to be on my feet the whole day either.

I work 7 1/2 hours Monday through Friday. I get major holidays off and have a nice amount of vacation and sick days. The job is perfect for me.

My healthier diet has helped tremendously with pain and fatigue, but the fatigue still hits me during stressful times and periods where I have been overly active. It’s delayed so it will hit me a few days after the fact.

I will take long naps, sleep longer hours or stay in bed an entire day. Sometimes it takes days to shake the horrible fatigue. My routine is to work all week and rest all weekend. It really sucks though that I feel like I work and do nothing fun. But, I will just keep thinking of retirement!

Married life is still good 😊 We have moved which was a good decision, although living on his parents property has had its downfalls.

They have said they will give us a certain amount of property and allow us to put a home there. They then tell us HOW we can live here and even who can and can’t come to our home!

I’m sure you would think “oh, hell no!”. This may sound bad, but in my mind I think “they are in their 70’s and won’t be here forever”. Thankfully my husband feels the same as me in as far as being upset with their treatment. *sigh*

Things are peaceful though. I keep to myself and enjoy my home, my husband, my kids and grandkids and my animals ❤️

My days start the same. Wake up when I wake up, take my medications (for fibromyalgia and arthritis in my right hip), get my coffee, sit down and watch tv and play on my phone.

The fatigue from my fibromyalgia affects me in the morning. It causes sleep issues so I don’t sleep well or wake up refreshed. It takes me at least a couple hours to feel ready to get up and do things around the house.

Thank goodness my husband’s job is enough to allow me to stay home. I’m able to keep up with the house and laundry and dinners a lot of days but some days I can’t get out of bed.

It really sucks but for today I won’t let it get me down thinking about it. Mostly I go with the flow and I’m fine. But some days what I have to go through gets me feeling blue. I do have wonderful support from my husband which is great. I know that a lot of people don’t have that.

Off to enjoy my coffee and watching Married at First Site. 🙂

Hello Tumblr world. New here and this is going to be my attempt at using Tumblr as a diary of sorts. A way to anonymously express my thoughts or feelings and maybe someone will be able to relate.

It's been a wild ride of a life so far. At 45 I have been married several times and have 2 children and 3 grandchildren. I'm married to whom I feel will be who I spend the rest of my life with. I've finally found someone who can put up with me 😂 and who treats me kindly, respectfully and who doesn't lie to me.

my husband has 3 kids and 3 grandchildren all of which I love as much as I love my flesh and blood.

well, that's me! At least some of me. More soon!
