"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

yeah no shit. I grin and bear it and then forget that pain meds take 30+ minutes to kick in.

I am questioning the wisdom of watching "Mystic River" given the mood I'm in. If you see a woman on the evening news hitting herself with a lash, that is most likely me.

So a newish fun thing with my fibro -everytime a weather front moves through - I get massive headache and my whole body hurts.

Oh, I hate that. There are times when I feel like a human barometer.

Lord, yes. A friend will say "Beautiful day!" Hubby and I will rub our joints and say, "Going to turn bad, though." And Hubby can give you the hour. He's practically calibrated by now.

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

GET IN FRONT OF THE PAIN.

Yeah, that just means I'll have tire tracks on my back when it runs me down.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I am so very close to unfriending someone on facebook. She's just posting all sorts of "I'm not a racist, but ..." type racist shit. Last week, she responded to a "Why do white people freak out if you call them racist?" article I posted by insisting, with a lot of exclamation points, that most white people aren't racist, and she's certainly not racist at all, and racism is horrible, and basically freaking out in exactly the way that the article described. Now she thinks that President Obama should talk more about his Caucasian background, as "the perfect route to understanding."

Assuming you aren't one of the majority about whom it has been proven to be more effective to medicate the pain before it reaches full flower, unfortunately so. But I'd never recommend anyone gamble on it. If you know you're gonna have to take one within this active window, open the window from now.

Yeah. She's like 87 or something like that, and I've known her since I was a kid, and she was my French teacher for three years in middle school and high school, so I'm not totally comfortable confronting her on this stuff. So, I just unchecked the option for her posts to show up on my news feed. It's better for my blood pressure this way.
