Short update

We are moving to a town about 80 minutes east of where we now live.  Closing on the new house will happen sometime in the beginning of June, probably.  Move in later that month.  This will give hubby a very reasonable commute.  Bittersweet to leave this home of the last 5 years, the friends we've made here.
My migraines continue to be ABSENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Oh Glorious Lord, thank you!  I wish I'd known about this piercing remedy long, long ago.  If you know anybody who suffers migraines, please advise that this helps.
I am in a renewed swamp of fibro fog and pain.  Neither feels as severe as they might be but, still difficult to live with.  And my home is in a state of being packed which is going to mean automatic stress for me for a while.
Grateful for new chapters and optimism.
Have happy days,
M

State of flux

I am feeling uneasy these days.  I'm not sure why but, I think it has to do with my spouse being home all the time while he finds new work.  Things feel out of sync.  Sleep is different, what I expect myself to do daily is different.  Different in a not positive way, too.  I think that once there is a job, a steady place to go for x hours each day, that will solve it for both of us.  He is starting to feel antsy.  And, I am just trying to keep it together.  I am craving some of my solitude again.  I don't know if solitude is actually the proper descriptor, since I always have the company of my critters, but you know what I mean.  I have grown to love my alone time.  Now, like everything on the planet, there can be too much of a good thing.  When that happens, I rouse myself and make a change.  I have just a few friends I keep contact with, and chat with a few people on the phone.  But, being with another person all the time, that is harder for me to get used to this time around.  Previously, I've been more adaptable.  Now, I just feel exhausted.  Exhausted doesn't go with the other issues I've got on my plate.  It's sort of like pouring a half cup of water on a lovely plate of food.  It turns something I recognize and know how to cope with into a mess I'm not sure how to handle.

My migraines are still under beautiful control.  I do still get a mild pressure headache mid-day most days but, it is so small and slow in building that my medicine works for it.   The bittersweet is that now that they are no longer plaguing me, I am spending days in my wheelchair again.  The pain in my body is blossoming and doing small things like folding a t-shirt are now again actually a pretty major task.  One set of problems seems to have been solved, only to make more room for the other set to rejuvenate.  So, I am frustrated.  Coping with that.

I'm thankful that I recognize the difficult position I'm in and I don't just lash out at those I love in my frustration.  I never want to be that person.    Thankful that I know, like everything, that this will pass.

Have happy days.
