This morning, I was talking to my Bestie "Queen Colleen" (my granddaugter when she said Aunt Colleen, it sounded like Queen Colleen, and it stuck...it is also quite befitting) while I was trying to help my granddaughter get ready for school. "go brush your hair, pancakes or chocolate chip waffles (frozen), all while the Queen was on speaker, AND I was the one trying to talk to her. Wasn't working out too good. My mind was so confused, I couldn't get out what I wanted to say, couldn't get the pancakes in the toaster. I was DAZED and CONFUSED. Thank goodness I can laugh about it now, but in the beginning days of my Fibromyalgia, I didn't laugh too often at this stuff. Of course my bestie said "Annie, you can call me back...we don't have to talk right now, as she laughed". She could definitely tell I was in a "STATE" of "MIND".
Anyway, grandaughter walked to school in the nice cool (cold) fresh New England Air and a trip to the basement to unearth some of the things I have left over from my flea market booth so I can sell on ebay. That meant three flights of stairs to get to my haven. My brain litterally feels fuzzy and spongy and my hands and legs are shaky.
Can Anyone Relate?
So it's bed, heating pad on the feet, laptop on the lap, and switching between Auction Hunters and AMC Movie Desperate Measures.
I'll shut up in a minute. I tend to digress (thanks to my ADD) and I love to think and get things off my mind, so...here's my last bit: One of My Pet Peaves
When friends and acquaintances, who don't really "GET" Fibromyalgia, say, "I wish I could stay in bed and watch TV all day."
Not sure about my other Spoonies, but seriously, 'NO YOU DON'T. Not when you don't have a choice of whether you do it or not.
