Good Things Friday (11)
April 26, 2019
1. Friday: Complaining does help. I was telling Tenacious Feminist of my tired-woes, and one of them was a Target order I couldn’t quite complete. The order was started to restock our sunblock but one of her suggestions got me out of my chair to check another item and it turns out we still have 2 sunblock tubes, I just missed it on my last check! $33 order bumped to “save for later” for the next time there’s a sunblock sale and we need things.
2. Friday: PiC found a $50 piece of equipment he thought had been lost. YAY for not having to spend money on the same thing twice!
3. Friday: Also I figured out how to fix my sunglasses that JB royally messed up. That’s a relief. I started this day in a very deep funk and all the little things are adding up to help bring me out of it.
4. Saturday: I still hurt all the time, and I’m fatigued like you wouldn’t believe, which can trigger pain (or the pain can trigger fatigue for a fun turnaround), but my dietary changes have wrought changes I would never have believed could happen ten years ago. I can hold a pen to write today. I can hold a dog’s leash in my hands without them swelling up into oven mitts today. I never thought I’d get this much function back, ever. I know it can go away but getting this much back even for a short time is just about unbelievable.
5. Saturday: We had to drive a long way to see family for Easter and we both made it out of the house on time (gasp!), we also made such good time we were able to lollygag and hang out for a while before meeting up. Such a novel unstressed mortification free (I hate running late) experience.
6. Monday: Everyone was dragging because of our very-busy weekend but we made it out the door to our respective destinations and managed to get some things done.
7. Tuesday: It was a glorious 77 degrees almost all day. I was in heaven.
9. Wednesday: I lost this post and was very sad, and then 801red (my tech support) found it and I was very grateful. He’s the best. Highly recommend.
Tragic Sandwich: I worked on homework with Baguette last night, and she is starting to understand parts of speech and how they go together to make sentences!
10. Thursday: I’m unlikely to spend the money on it but I’ve gone so many days, multiple days, with not swollen fingers that for the first time in 10+ years, I thought it might be nice to get a wee little wedding band for myself. Just something light and small off Etsy or the like. I didn’t get one when we got married to save money, sure, but mostly because it felt pointless to buy anything I couldn’t wear more than a day at a time because my fingers were constantly swelling up and deflating at random times.
