I just discovered Dirty Jobs last week, so naturally I caught it instead of SotU. Mike Rowe not only has a wicked sense of humor and adventure, he ends up with good rapport with the people he meets.

Today my body HURTS! The problem with fibro (well, one of the problems) is that is so stress triggered and well, when I'm stressed is very often the times I am least able to slow down because of pain. STOOPIDHEAD MUSCLES.

This also means I need to cancel my plans tonight which bums me out because I was going to see friends. &)($)(^$#@

And my eyes keep welling up AND I CANNOT CRY AT WORK!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Work stress? Stress with an end date stress? So you can make new plans for after?

Also, you may be able to cry in the bathroom. This in no way means that you should be driven to cry at work.

deadline stress. delivery day is always stressful, but yesterday people were just asking for too many other things for me and then the delivery mechanism broke so we missed our deadline.

Also becaus eof going to yoga (which is a good thing) my muscles are tired and sore (because I haven't been for so long) and so they are more apt to cramping and spasming and doing all the painful things they do.

Our bathroom is decidely unprivate. It's ok, I have years of repressed WASP to pull from.

I have a conundrum. Our offices are closed until noon, however, buses aren't running in the city until "mid-afternoon". I'm hoping that the gov't comes to its senses and cancels work for the whole day...

Unf. Missed deadline. Harder to wind down from those. I'm so sorry to hear you're suffering.

Today is going to be a long day for me, with lots of eyes on me. I need to make sure it doesn't get into my head.

Sadly, I can feel that the nerve block is losing effectiveness a bit. I wish there was a way I could train tomorrow, that I could train every day until it was gone.

thanks. it will pass. it will pass faster than what you have had to deal with and it has been way worse. I just forget in the lapses between bad days.

I hear you, msbelle. Speaking as someone who woke up from aching in the middle of the night....

To a certain extent, yoga and other exercise helps reset my muscles and their aching, but the break-in period is a bitch cookie.
