Well I heard a loud crash and splash!! So I popped my head out from under my bed…. even after the dust bunnies grabbed my feet and tried to keep me from looking. Those smart dust bunnies told me to stay with them….. even said there just might be another chocolate chip cookie left and since it was broken that cookie would have NO calories…. all of them leaked out after it was broken….. those are the rules under the bed in dust bunny land. But no I had to look. My dinning room ceiling is now on the floor and the carpet is wet. The upstairs bathroom is out of commission. Repairman says he will try to have the upstairs bathroom 100% repaired by Christmas but the dinning room ceiling will have to wait until all the wet stuff dries and then see what can be saved and what must go and be replaced….. just great! Now all the weather changes, kidney stones, family stress and home repairs I am now in a full-blown FMS flare up….. pain, sleeplessness, IBS, headache, fatigue, fog, dizziness {almost fell again}, TMJ like pain on the right side {this is a first!}, psoriatic arthritis, psoriasis {on my elbows, hands and now on my face}, so very stiff, my muscles are jerking and twitching all over and I don’t know how but my memory is getting worse too. Can’t forget about my skin still being over sensitive to touch. It’s been a while since I’ve felt this bad and if it is like flares in the past, I won’t get back to where I was before the flare up. My oldest child has told me that a house, one house over from his, has come open and has a nice screened in patio….. and a very nice pool and pool house….. and would like to move me over to that house as it would keep me able to live alone but would be close to check on…. and a POOL that would be good for me. Sounds great right? Only there may not be room for me to continue my urban wildlife habitat….. what would happen to all my critters? Let alone how hard it would be on me to move…. I hate moving since getting Fibro it is very hard on me but having to be on oxygen all the time it’s more than just hard…. it’s a royal pain going back and forth using portable oxygen tanks and long tubing once my oxygen concentrator has been moved. And I don’t get unlimited supplies of portable tanks…. there is a limit per month that I can get and since the family owned company {vs large corporate company} doesn’t charge me for the 20% that medicare doesn’t pay, I really try to keep well within that limit. Now with a major flare up a move is a nightmare….. but if I decide not to move will I regret it later to have missed out on the pool and a screened in patio? I can’t even think all the way through this budget wise…. heck I can’t even think throw this months budget! This post is taking me forever to complete….. I am sooo tired…. how I’d love a hot tub…..well I’d settle for a hot shower but the upstairs bathroom is the only shower and it ain’t usable until they fix the leak that has flooded out the dinning room. I think I hear those old dust bunnies again….. saying “We told you not to go out from under the bed….but we will take you back and we saved you that broken cookie too!” I think I’ll get some cold milk to go with that cookie and crawl back under the bed for some quality dust bunny time with some soft fluffy hugs too. So until I come out and our paths cross again may all have a blessed, safe and happy Christmas….. Lila
