Currently Reading
I haven't been feeling so hot so for several days I've been unable to do much. I've been trying to read a book but just keep reading the same lines over and over. I'm in a reading group on paperbackswap.com where we pick a book that has been on our TBR list the longest and get it read. I chose At Home in Mitford by Jan Karon. I really have no idea why it has taken me so long to read it. I was having such a hard time focusing that I tried listening to the audiobook but I keep spacing out. When that happens I just have to quit trying and get some rest or I just stare into outer space for a while and gather some wool.
I did manage to sneak out to get my hair done but I nearly slept through it. My appointment was at 4:15 pm but I was still sleeping when my husband came home at 4 pm. He woke me up and I quickly jumped up and got dressed. I splashed water on my face and did the minimum required things and ran out the door... went back to get my glasses and then was off. I sat there and zoned out while my hair stylist made me look beautiful. She has special powers and always makes me feel better by the time I leave her presence.
I am hoping it will stop raining soon. Well, it isn't raining all the time and we have been having some beautiful sunshiny days but if it rains in the afternoon or evening my Fibromyalgia and/or Psoriatic Arthritis flares up. Even if it doesn't rain right where I live but is raining in the distance I will flare up. My muscles in my left shoulder get real tight and painful and I got this area that feels like a tight, knotted up muscle behind my shoulder blade where I can't reach. I have to take a muscle relaxer which puts me to sleep for most of the day and that helps but then it rains again and it comes right back. I just keep listening to Boxcar Willie singing You are my Sunshine and hoping for nothing but sunshine. That's one of my all time favorite songs.
