Day 54
Would you think less of me if I told you that you’re getting the second post in a row with no commentary because I’m totally distracted by the first episode of the new season of America’s Next Top Model? *laughs* Oh, okay, I know. This is a documentary process and I’m doing myself or anyone else no good to not take it seriously.
It was a good day today. I took 2 days off from taking the Bactrim to pull myself together. So it was nice to not feel awful today. Don’t look at me like that. I took both doses tonight and I’ll finish the bottle this week, there’s only a few doses left. I just had to get myself together. Those of you who bear the burden of chronic pain or a chronic illness are better and stronger than I am. I had a few days of body aches and joint pain and crumbled like a stale cookie. I’ve regrouped. I’m back in the fight now.
I don’t have any doctor’s appointments this week so it’s nice to have a week off from that as well. It’s a quiet night here at Casa de Carol Anne. Me and the hubs caught up on Parenthood and watched this evening’s Top Chef together. I’m the only one awake at the moment. The hubs and our two kitties are sleeping peacefully in assorted spots around the living room and I’m chatting with you fine folks and watching my DVR’d America’s Next Top Model from earlier this evening.
Thanks so much for being out there and coming back to read every day. (((group hug)))
Love,
~ Carol Anne
*** Note to Self *** Work on making your writing flow better. Short declarative sentences sound choppy when read aloud. This is not a list.
Feeling awful myself, you are not alone. Things will get better, I think we need to tell ourselves that. Have this note on my computer about this girl who got stuck in a blizzard all alone on a black diamond ski trail. She had no one to help so she wept, promised God a million promises and finally skied with zero elegance down the slope whimpering like a baby all the while. She says the point is that you have to get in over your head to realisze that you are not really in over your head. Most of the time she said a high risk situation won’t kill you, becasue you are stronger than you think. And that’s never bad to be reminded of that.
Love ya,
Suz
Thanks Suz. I hope you’re feeling better soon. (((hugs)))
Hi CA, just read some of your posts because I haven’t talked to u in a couple of weeks & thought it would be a good way to catch up! I’m glad you r doing ok. But I wanted to tell u you should redo this into a book. Keep it going!! Love you!
(((hugs))) Thank you for your support. I originally started this because Chuck said it would be good for me but now I hope others who are going through similar circumstances are reading too.
