Oh my, it has been over...
six months since I last wrote! Between the loss of my mother, and trying to get this old house fixed up, it seems I have neglected everything else.
House is still a mess. Did get furnace installed in December, but roof is still leaking, and getting worse. It will have to wait for better weather and more $$$ now.
My fibro has been terrible, I haven't had a good day in over a month now, and it isn't getting any better. I am tired all the time, cannot sleep, and when I do, it isn't good sleep. I thought the furnace would help the heat situation, but I guess it isn't big enough for a whole house, and when it is so cold, like it is today, it cannot get the house warm so, I sit here bundled up for the outside! Double layers of clothing, and my robe on top, and still cold. I need to figure out a way to get new windows and insulation. Will take selling a lot more manuals than I have been, to accomplish that goal.
Furnace is set at 75°, and it the actual temperature in here is 60°! It has to get better... :-(

Today is a bad day...
Woke about 4:30 am to the sound of falling rain, don't know if it was the sound of the rain that woke me, or the pain. Whichever, I woke feeling at my worst, and of course, couldn't go back to sleep. Laid there doing easy stretches, trying to work some of the pain out, but it didn't help much, so at the first sign of daybreak I got up and made coffee, then went back to bed till it was done dripping, then came upstairs and got on the computer. Yes, I am a computer addict, I admit it! I don't feel better while on the computer, but can keep my mind occupied enough that I don't notice the pain quite so much.
It is still raining, doesn't look like it will quit anytime soon.
Oh no! I've just checked the weather forecast, and it shows storms all week! :-( Looks like there will be a lot of downtime for me this week, and I have to go to the p.o. tomorrow, plus the cupboards are bare, so a trip to the grocery store is a must.
I have to go to the DMV one day this week to get my license plates renewed, and need to stop at Staples for paper & supplies, and want to make a trip of it and hit some thrift stores to see what I can find. I've not been anywhere much this whole month, unless you count my taking Kathy to the Dr.'s in Morgantown. We did go to Outback (she paid!) and it was my first time there, food was great, and would love to go back again. We went to Books A Million, as it was practically next door, and had a great time there. Kathy bought 4 home decorating books, they were on clearance, and she has been enjoying them very much, so that made it worthwhile. I bought a quilt book that was on clearance. It is ok, but not as great as I thought it would be. Wish I had bought the book of crossstitch designs, but pennies were short, and I behaved myself. Maybe I can get back down there after the first of the month and see if they still have it. Darn, I wish the price of gasoline weren't so high, it makes you stop and think twice about going anywhere. Wish there was Books A Million in Bridgeport, then I could do it all at one time.
Oh well, I need to lie down, try to get an hour or so of sleep, then maybe I will feel well enough to finish the manuals I am working on, and get a start at my ebay listings.
